I just keep journaling every day. It’s really important to me to have evidence of dates, times, things that Ive seen, who did what, what is happening.

All of this can fall apart and be deleted. But there has to be evidence. Writing matters and there has to be evidence of what happened

Billionaire Elon Musk has stated that work is underway to shut down the U.S. foreign aid agency, USAID. Officials have been instructed not to report to work and have been locked out of the building.

Giving access to SSNs, other data on government employees to non-employees like Musk is a violation of 5 USC 552a, and carries with it a penalty of $1000 per person whose data was accessed. We are building a case. Govt employees who want to participate should contact me directly
