While you’re cancelling your Disney and Hulu subscriptions, don’t forget to cancel Disney vacations.

Their theme parks and cruise ships make a ton of money.

Boycott Disney and you can boycott Florida at the same time!

In April, we took to the streets for the biggest day of civic protest in years.

No Kings Day on June 14 is going to be even bigger, with more events in more places to reject Trump’s authoritarianism.

Please join us at your local No Kings Day event in two weeks: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

CBS reporter Scott Pelley:

This is a warning that I fear many will look back on in five or six years and think “he was so right”.

If you haven’t already shared this, please do.

A basic rule of thumb is that you really don't want the Wall Street Journal to have headlines referring to the Great Depression.

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded econ.st/3YbbFjq

The FAA approved another launch before the last crash investigation was completed — and it ended in another disaster.

Why is SpaceX getting a free pass from DOGE cuts? 🤔

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

We're not done yet | 18F

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:

A picture of Kimberly Bryant with the words “Women in Technology”. She said, “Imagine the impact these curious, creative minds could have on the world with the guidance and encouragement others take for granted.” She has expanded her work to include girls in Johannesburg, South Africa. She has been named in Forbes’ list of “Most Powerful Women Changing the World,” received the Jefferson Award for Public Service, & was recognized in 2013 as a White House Champion of Change for Tech Inclusion.

An electrical engineer, Kimberly Bryant noticed few classmates or colleagues looked like her.

When she realized nothing had changed in 2010, she left her job & founded Black Girls Code that has now exposed 10s of 1000s of black, Latina & Native American girls to computer science, & programming.

I plan to participate but @hcrichardson.bsky.social just sent in her newsletter that she has NOT attached her name to this event.

“This statement is neither opposition to the events nor support for them… I have not given permission for anyone to use my name in association with them.”

The Brad Pitt segment made me a little sick. This administration is doing everything they can to undermine the concept of unity, the power of diversity, etc. Trump is against everything that the spot is about. And he’s in attendance.

Exclusive: Musk aides lock government workers out of computer systems at US agency, sources say Aides to Elon Musk charged with running the U.S. government human resources agency have locked career civil servants out of computer systems that contain the personal data of millions of federal employees, according to two agency officials.

This is a hostile takeover of the federal government by a private citizen of unlimited means with no restrictions and no transparency. Welcome to the Deep State www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it.

Missed the inauguration today.
But tuning in many hours later I see what’s in store for next 4 years: one long incoherent campaign rant with some awful policy decisions that affect real people thrown in for flavor.
