Yup. The US Digital Service was formed from Big Tech SREs. Top level SREs really are elite level problem solvers and trouble makers of the highest order.
Many are trans, queer, or at the very least, care about LGBTQIA people, and will end you if you talk disrespectfully about them.

Democrats giving up on trans rights because they poll badly is like a sports team deciding to score on their own goal instead of the opponent’s because that’s what’s been getting the loudest cheers lately.

18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was just demolished by Musk’s team. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 million.

18F is *precisely* what Musk and team claim should exist within government. But when his team found it, they destroyed it, because it is evidence that government works well (can’t have that!), and because like Zelensky, 18F didn’t bend the knee.

Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.

I’ve said this before, but my dad lost 4 siblings to polio & smallpox before the age of 10. They would be here today if they had access to vaccines. I wish we could trade those antivaxxers for my aunts & uncles.
