Nothing that any university has done has "helped make it a White House target". Universities are targets bc they are *always* targeted by authoritarian regimes, and anything would have been a pretext. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/07/u...

Bondi defends migrant rendition flights to a slave prison in El Salvador: "It's basic public safety. Get these people out of our country as fast as we can. They're not immigrants. They're illegal aliens who are committing the most violent crimes you can imagine on Americans."

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

Wondering if your study section cancelled? I update this sheet daily. As of today, 56/124 study sections that should have met since Jan 2, 2025 have "not met as scheduled." docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

First post. I would say something profound, but I used up all my profundities on the other would-be Twitter replacements.

Who's on here?
