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:

This is how our government has been corrupted: 

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office. 
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor. 
3) Donors make a huge profit. 
4) Repeat.

For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

Congo has offered DJT their minerals in return for military aid and protection. He considers it, since EU “doesn’t give him anything.”

Congo “military” is Russian Wagner group. Pls connect the dots as to who will get that military “aid”.

We should send newly confirmed expert, RFK Jr. to Wuhan so he can expose himself to this new virus and let us know if everything is ok. If he looks good after a few months they can send him back home! 😜 I’m sure he wouldn’t want to endanger anyone with vaccines!

Everyone needs to stop calling them billionaires & call them robber barons. billionaire has a neutral connotation to many, the definition of robber baron is 'a person who has become rich through ruthless and unscrupulous business practices', that's what they are and that's what you should call them.

This is what should be on every front page right now. What's happening in the US right now is an illegal power grab by a private citizen. IT'S A COUP.

It's a digital coup. It's Musk who's leading it. The consequences are terrifying. And it's coming for us next.

Make America Racist Again.

They’re open about it now. No more euphemisms or code words or excuses.

The president and vice-president are publicly campaigning for the return to government of a guy who unapologetically has said he is a proud racist and wants to normalize anti-Indian hate.
Trump says he agrees with Vance that a DOGE staffer fired after being outed for making extremely racist posts should be brought back
