I think “the salute” was the final straw for me. Can’t give this man any more of my time & attention, and therefore money. See you on Mastodon or Bluesky.

Why have tech billionaires cozied up to Donald Trump? There are deeper, darker forces at play here beyond lower taxes and friendlier regulations.

Martin Luther King, Jr. frequently talked about how the American Dream couldn't be achieved without housing and economic opportunities for all. The @CFPB is announcing new actions on redlining, combatting old-school exclusion and new forms of digital discrimination using AI.

One thing that astonishes me about @USDResponse's work is that not only do they deploy incredibly talented and public-spirited volunteers, but 5% of those volunteers make the pivot to civic tech careers! bit.ly/47XHiz4

I just received a demo of the upcoming IRS Direct File tool. The IRS has built an impressive product that will give taxpayers a secure option to file their taxes online for free. This pilot program will start small in 2024, to allow the IRS to test it and learn from taxpayers.
