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:

“There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.” ― Elie Wiesel
I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.

Termination notices going out this afternoon to more than 300 employees of the National Cancer Institute. Access likely ends today. Four weeks paid leave and that’s it.

BREAKING: France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain & UK sign a joint statement vowing to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty & demanding a role in the peace talks.
This is leadership.
It’s also unprecedented.

This is Oligarchy. The three richest men in the world have become $196 BILLION richer since Donald Trump was elected.
$196 billion for three men in 99 days.
Meanwhile, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

I have also seen this email that went out to NIH staff. It subsequently points out that Dr. Tabak has also served since 2010 as the Deputy Ethics Counselor. So.
UPDATE: A purge of experienced career staff has begun at NIH. The staff was just informed that Deputy Director Lawrence Tabak, who has worked at NIH for 25 years is "retiring."
Grant funding remains frozen, in violation of two federal court orders.

Musk said that the public voted for his efforts to slash government, but that’s not true. Trump ran as a faux populist, but he is governing like a Paul Ryan, pushing huge tax cuts for the rich and gutting public education, food safety, and medical research. www.messageboxnews.com/p/trump-and-...

Apparently the SAVE act just passed the House 😡
The SAVE Act is systemic misogyny. It would disenfranchise tens of millions of women--those who changed their name after marriage but don't have either a birth certificate or a passport with their new legal name.
