People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative. A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

Some solid advice we need to listen to and share

The people were ALWAYS going to have to lead the way. The movement is not the party. The PEOPLE are the movement. Is anyone really surprised? The answer is in organizing. Not in hoping that feckless politicians will grow backbones.

I wish we could fast forward through this misogynist tradwife era and just get to the part where someone writes the feminine mystique again.

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
