Waldo Jaquith18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was demolished by Musk’s team shortly after midnight.

Tech for Public Good (https://www.publicgood.tech/) is holding a fundraiser to waive dues for federal technologists who’ve lost their jobs. They offer job resources & professional community for people who do government tech work.
