Here it from the source @team18f.bsky.social
18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people:

We finally fixed illegal immigration (nobody wants to come here anymore)

This is what we need @mcuban.bsky.social Way to go!
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

The men are insulated by brotherhood, and a culture that assumes the women are asking for it. Kravitz nods to the ways men pit women against one another as rivals, a tactic long deployed on reality TV.

If you are among the rightly angry, anger isn’t the goal. The task, is to transform that anger into a small, measurable, local expression that pushes back against corrupt politics, advocates for marginalized people, and fills in the gaps of compassion and kindness.

Trump signed a new executive order that would allow the White House to control independent agencies that have long operated outside its influence, like the FEC, FCC, FTC and SEC. It’s designed to test a once-fringe legal theory which says the president solely controls the entire executive branch.

The president’s new executive order would give him control over independent agencies, testing a once-fringe legal theory. Lawsuits are sure to follow.

“One aspect of depression is the sense that you will be mired in misery and nothing will change. The public equivalent to this is a sense that the nation is stuck. Things don’t always change for the better, but they change, and we can play a role in that change.”

We may be living through times of unprecedented change, but in uncertainty lies the power to influence the future. Now is not the time to despair, but to act

@nhannahjones.bsky.social I just learned about the amazing woman you are named after. During your key note at the #MagnetSchoolsofAmerica conference in Chicago, you spoke truth to power. At that time, some in the audience did not understand your message. Keep preaching and teaching. Appreciate you!
“The Maryland National Guard must decline events which celebrates individuals based all or in part on immutable characteristics,” the memo said.

Douglass was an abolitionist, suffragist, orator and author. That’s what we celebrate him. Let’s be clear: This bars celebrating him because he was Black.

A whisper to a scream…love that!
And this is what makes Sarah’s work so meaningful to me.

The sourcing is like pulling back a curtain on our history and our lived experience. We are betrayed by memories of what was presented as common narrative and shared values.

And it feels like validation, a whisper to a scream.
The most terrifying part of my books is the end notes section, because 1) many of the works I cite are from the 1980s or earlier 2) it’s very long 3) many authors got censored or murdered 4) nearly everyone in power knew about it and did nothing but further the crisis along

Love the advice. I too have been living in a rural red area with too many Trump flags and not enough protests. I DO make my voice heard by calling my senators and rep. There’s value in that even if it’s just as an irritant

It took some digging to find a @foxnewscorporation.bsky.social outlet that reported this. POTUS is not busy enough while Musky destroys democracy. Can we help foundations so they aren’t reliant on racists for funding? We don’t need $ from racists! @mcuban.bsky.social
