Costa gets into it with this thread. It details how the Trump admin ended a Biden admin $1 billion program designed to give Puerto Rico energy independence with rooftop solar.

Bad Bunny also reminded me how energy colonialism in Puerto Rico has lined the pockets of Trump’s cronies since Hurricane Maria in 2017:
- $300 million contract to Montana-based Whitefish Energy w ties to DOI Zinke.
- $10 billion relief fund 3 years late to privatize PR’s grid w Luma Energy

The only thing more powerful than hate is love.

This made me cry.

in a welcome surprise, “we fucking hate taxes” apparently carrying the day in the tariffs case and it looks like they’re going down

I’m not used to this much good news in a row I don’t know what to do with my hands

Thank you, New York City. Together we made history.

Now let’s get to work.

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:

Taps the sign👇

Direct File is live and having an incredible tax season. Taxpayers are able to successfully import info the IRS has about them and user satisfaction remains 🚀 high.

The product team is predominantly in house, increasing its ability to deliver an awesome product 👏

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:
18f.org

18F staffers- who were summarily fired en masse overnight- issue statement expressing shock, bewilderment:

"18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated."

Folks (and this thing has gone around quickly), it's still unclear *what* has been "deleted"; as many of you have noted DirectFile remains active. Part of the danger of Government-By-Unelected-Nutball is that what's actually *true* is a moving target.

If you RT'd my initial post, RT this as well.

And in other news, ending DEI through reporting and monitoring efforts feels like modern day McCarthyism

Just occurred to me that Elon is likely obsessed with naming everything X because of its semblance to the swastika

But since this post is change my advice a bit and recommend a meter socket adapter instead like ConnectDER

FCC boss Jessica Rosenworcel issues a statement saying she's stepping down from the FCC in the wake of Trump's victory. And while she discusses the great pride she's had in leading the FCC there's absolutely no indication given that her successor intends to dismantle the entirety of her accomplishments

FCC boss Jessica Rosenworcel announces she's stepping down in January.

At no point in the statement does she communicate even the faintest sense of ideological alarm to the public that her successor intends to demolish the entirety of broadband consumer protection and all of her accomplishments

Miss you too!
