Gary Lineker had the courage to speak up for the rights and freedoms of the Palestinian people
And for that, he was cancelled
We say 'never forget' but when someone points out that we've forgotten' and speaks out against a genocide, they're dismissed
Thank you Gary for being human and caring 🙏

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.
It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.
They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.
I’m happy to invest and/or help
