Remember, they can remove the policies, but they can’t remove the values that you gained from the policies. Continue to see the value and benefit in making space for all kinds of people. Include people, strive for diversity, see and meet an individual’s needs in order to help them succeed.

The Empire is striking back, but we know how this story unfolds.
The Resistance stands firm & grows. Those who were trampled by the powers of darkness joined & fought back.
We are #AltGov, and we are here to help.

I’m angry about what’s going on in the US right now, and there are reasons why I can’t be as outspoken as I’d like. I feel helpless and don’t know how to properly channel this feeling into action that feels impactful. 😕

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:

Fascism isn’t coming to America, it’s already here.
We are long past the warnings of an approaching existential threat looming on the distant horizon of our story, which many of us spent the past decade imploring people not to ignore.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”
Yesterday many thousands of federal employees were terminated. This is a Reddit thread for federal employees that got laid off.

Sometimes self-government just means elections. And sometimes it means recognizing the deeper dignity and meaning of what it means to be a people. That means speaking up, standing out, and protesting. We can only be free together.

There are things happening right now that make it feel like we’re living in a cruel joke-world. So, I’ve decided to start testing the boundaries of this reality, but only in small, silly, victimlesss, joyful ways. Maybe if we all do this, we can shift reality towards something better?
