When asked about the personal and professional losses of being pushed out of government, Michael Boyce didn't hesitate: "Your identity is being a civil servant." Listen to the full conversation here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfRL...

hi friends, I’m about to be low internet for the next week or so!! I would love it so much if you could tell your amazing Bay Area Eng leader folks about this job, which closes 2/24!! that way when I get back to my inbox it will be full up with lovely applications 🙏🏻❤️

Glad to see an early example of doing the right thing. We shouldn't be deferring to non-experts who don't know what is actually safe. DOT has incredible bike planners and other planners and engineers who have dedicated themselves to understanding street safety and flow. Let's trust them.

Mark Kelly puts out a statement saying "The President of the United States just overthrew a foreign ruler and explained to the American people that this is about taking control of the oil reserves of a foreign nation." This is probably the strongest statement alongside Gallego's I've read.

Check out this incredible thread about the work at @publicgood.tech. Inspired? Consider donating!

Excited that @publicgood.tech is on Bluesky! I’ve been on the board for a year now and have seen the incredible support we’ve been able to give to RIF’ed and furloughed federal staff and others during that year. Together in community during tough times.

Trump gets a pass on violent rhetoric, and he shouldn't. Calling the police is the correct response. Journalists should also take this seriously, demanding explanations and accountability from the White House, instead of pretending this is just a Thursday.

I love seeing how many government teams are starting think about the things they build/own as products! It's evident in this week's #PublicSectorJobBoard - you can manage websites at @wmata.com, oversee licensing and permitting @boston.gov and more publicsectorjobboard.substack.com/p/november-1...

Cuomo had YEARS as governor to address the real issues with rent stabilization - things like illegally destabilized units, lack of oversight, outdated technology managing the program, lack of landlord accountability, vacant units etc., and did just about nothing. 1/9 www.nytimes.com/2025/08/12/n...

18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was demolished by Musk’s team shortly after midnight. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 billion.

A new #PublicSectorJobBoard is up! Posting #tech and #innovation jobs in government across the US on a mostly weekly basis. publicsectorjobboard.substack.com/p/dec-7-2024...

A periodic reminder that you can check your state's unclaimed funds pages to get access to $$ that is owed to you. unclaimed.org

A great list and place to start in the civic tech space. Thanks for putting together @cydharrell.bsky.social!
