"Activism is the antidote to fear"
~Jamie Raskin

Start with conviction; bring a friend, make a plan, make a habit

Say it out loud and say it often:

"This is wrong"

Then,

Insist
Resist
Persist

It's tough to refer to someone as a criminal if you've given them no due process to determine whether they're a criminal. Like if you get arrested and get a trial and are convicted of 34 felony counts. That's due process. You can call that guy a criminal.

Resistence is NOT futile
Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.”

He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.”

Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up.

Marriott still has my business.

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:

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:

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

If the government were functioning, I’d be against a shutdown. The government is not functioning. Democrats should stand their ground and refuse to fund DOGE. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...
Democrats face decision point on shutdown strategy
Republicans rebuffed Democrats' demands in shutdown negotiations. Democrats now have a choice to make.

If you were a federal employee who got Musk's email asking for the five things you did last week at work, how would you respond? Wrong answers only.

A series of mistakes by DOGE shows just how arbitrary and destructive this slash-and-burn strategy can get.
