I LOVE THIS. Now if we can only start teaching ranked choice voting in student government elections too....
NEW: Newark is just the third city in the country to lower the voting age to 16 — for school board elections.
So teens are getting to vote for the first time... this month!
And there's a tremendous amount of energy to get students to turn out.

🚨 Trump and Musk want to fire federal workers, gut public services, and hand our government to billionaires. We’re not letting that happen.

Aaand this is how we create efficiency? If it doesn't make sense, it's because the reason they're giving is a lie. But big ups to Mark Cuban clowning on their asses, lol.
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

indeed lets all stay home! trying to spend as little as possible in Trumps economy.
Canadians visiting the U.S. were responsible for $20.5 billion in spending last year. Some are now changing their travel plans. “I feel like Canadians have been slapped across the face by Trump.”

This is your regular reminder that if unions didn't work, giant corporations wouldn’t spend millions and millions of dollars trying to stop workers from making them.
Unions give workers power, and billionaire CEOs don't like that.

President Trump is remaking the tax code to favor the well-off even more and cloaking these changes in a veneer of nationalism.
