Playing an upright piano in all black clerical attire for Ash Wednesday ecumenical service 2025 at the University of Houston A. D. Bruce Religion Center

When I was 5yrs old, I started singing in the choir b/c I liked that the kids were allowed to sit up front during church. I fell in love with music then at 8yrs old I took classical piano and studied to be a concert pianist. I went down the music path for several years and honed that craft. 1/2

The current Acting Director, Charles (Chuck) Ezell is a low-level branch chief. He's the friendliest "yes man" you'll ever meet. He never says no. It's clear they pushed aside all the high-level non political civil servants who refused to do Donald Trump's bidding, until they found Chuck. 
Under his name, they've sent numerous requests to all the agencies to collect information on gov't employees that they see as a threat to their agenda. Instructions say to send these lists to Amanda Scales. But Amanda is not actually an OPM employee, she works for Elon Musk. She wasn't even properly cleared by OPM Personnel Security. 
Our CIO, Melvin Brown, (also a non political career public servant) was pushed aside just one week into his tenure because he refused to setup email lists to send out direct communications to all career civil servants. Such communications are normally left up to each agency.

Our CIO, Melvin Brown, (also a non political career public servant) was pushed aside just one week into his
tenure because he refused to setup email lists to send out direct communications to all career civil servants.
Such communications are normally left up to each agency.

Instead, an on-prem (on-site) email server was setup.
Someone literally walked into our building and plugged
in an email server to our network to make it appear that emails were coming from OPM. It's been the one sending those various "test" message you've all seen.
We think they're building a massive email list of all federal employees to generate mass RIF notices down
the road.

The non-political civil servants here at OPM are
watching helplessly as our government is being
systematically dismantled bit by bit. Even the IGs are
being fired to prevent them from investigating the
numerous whistleblower complaints we've filed.

Please share this and tell the world that OPM is not the
bad guy. We're just as helpless to stop this as the rest
of our fellow public servants. Hopefully someone out
there can help us, but it's looking pretty grim.

Ho-ly shit. Getting word from trustworthy sources that this plugging in of external servers is also happening at other agencies and is responsible for some of the press releases and deletion of web content.
