Anne Harris

I just read about your work in The Atlantic. Thank you.

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

I am with Ukraine.

I'm part of a panel discussion.

Cecile Richards, Former Planned Parenthood President, Dies at 67 Ms. Richards oversaw the United States’ largest provider of reproductive health care and sex education from 2006 to 2018.

I'm very sorry to hear that Cecile Richards has died.

“If I have one regret from my time leading Planned Parenthood, it is that we believed that providing vital health care, with public opinion on our side, would be enough to overcome the political onslaught..."

What sort of free speech is prevented by fact checking? Why..... the freedom to lie, of course--the freedom to freely spread misinformation, and to be unaccountable to the truth.

Good! I donated yesterday. Now I'm extra glad i did.

Morning and evening....

We see here an example of objecting to "bad," so voting for "worse."

After all, this is the guy who instituted a Muslim ban during his first term in office, and recently told his pal Bibi to "finish the job."

You too!
