Lastly, thank you to everyone who’s encouraged me and said nice things about the photos. It’s such an incredible privilege to share with, theoretically, thousands of people. What a beautiful planet we have.

@kevinrns might work. I don’t know much about it, except read about it a couple of months ago.

Turnabout is fair play.

A tweet from Fernando Oliver, Esq. (@Fernand46357857) featuring a large billboard on the side of a building. The billboard reads: "IF YOU WANT RELIGION in Schools, I Want the IRS IN Churches." The words "RELIGION" and "IRS" are highlighted in red, while the rest of the text is black. The image captures a busy urban street with cars and pedestrians passing by.

I've written about NOAA, one of the most important agencies hardly anyone knows much about. They're out here doing God's work, and DOGE is out to kill them. A lot of us might go with them if we can't stop these ghouls.

@bodhipaksa @globalmuseum As I am already old enough to be a grandma I want to categorically state that I (and my grandma now dead) would rather shovel shit than ever vote Tory. Your welcome.

This is from the executive director of the 18F, the digital services agency within the General Services Administration (GSA) that develops open-source tools to improve digital services across the federal government.

"I am the Executive Director of 18F and 18F’s longest running employee- I have been at 18F for 10 years. You may not have heard of us, but last night proved that we are powerful. The way the administration ran to get rid of us under the cover of night and shut us down without warning proves that they were scared. They are too afraid to even speak to us.

We, like our many allies, had the “radical” idea that the government should be responsive to the needs of real people. We assembled amazing teams of technology professionals from different specialities who could work together and learn from each other. We shared what we learned with everybody.

I saw, time and time again, where we stood up for partners who were getting taken advantage of by vendors, or just needed help turning a vision into reality. We could make a simple website or a complicated system, we would do what we needed to best serve the mission and the public. We didn’t upsell anyone, we tried to teach our partners how to do what we did. I see them still prospering years after working with us.

We have proven methods that could be replicated, so we helped even more people through guides and writing. Those people are still going. And I am cheering them on.

We were living proof that the talking points of this administration were false. Government services can be efficient. You can work with agencies as they are now and work with them to better manage their services.

This made us a target. People who own skyscrapers are afraid of 100 people who made websites better. Not because of the latest tech fad, but because we proved that the government can be fixed, the government can be made better and the government can work for the people."

@claralistensprechen3rd WEP is for people who worked in both Social Security and under a government pension at a separate time. Your article makes it sound like people are trying to claim illegal. Social Security benefits that they did not earn. This is absolutely incorrect. They are not double dipping and they want the Social Security benefits that they paid into.

Toshi @toshiHQ It looks like Elon's genius coders don't know how COBOL works. Social security runs on COBOL, which does not use a date or time type. So the date is stored as a number using the ISO 8601 standard. The epoch for this is 150 years ago (1875) - aka the metre standard. So if you don't know the date of something, it will be a O value, which in COBOL will default to 1875 - 150 years ago. Donald Trump Jr. @DonaldJTrumpJr• 3d OMG!!! It's so bad what's been happening to our country and your money! Breaking: Musk says there's people over 150-years-old collecting Social Security

A Letter to Americans, from a Canadian - James Fell

"1. No one is coming to save you. An outside country won't do it, the courts won't do it, the Democratic Party won't do it, and Kamala Harris won't do it. She tried to last November, but too many failed to show up to support her and here you are.
2. Your persistent resistance is the only thing that possibly can save you. Organized, working at the local level, and relentless resistance.”
