Rogue federal staffers create '#AltGov' Bluesky accounts to undermine DOGE, Trump adm
Quote:Federal employees have created a secret internal network to resist DOGE, which includes undermining the Trump administration using alternative government social media accounts. In recent weeks, the network, which goes by the hashtag #AltGov, has established a visible presence on Bluesky. The combative employees created accounts associated with federal agencies to correct "misinformation" from the Trump administration, they said.
The Guardian reported that more than 40 accounts have been created, with "Alt CDC (they/them)" gaining the most traction with nearly 95,000 followers. The network has also established a group and several subgroups on the encrypted messaging app Wire in order to exchange information and create plans.

The anti-Trump employees said the idea came after the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), headed by Elon Musk, emailed federal workers to submit five bullet points detailing what they had completed for the week. As a result, employees and contractors began to scheme how to respond to the email using encrypted chats, with one employee writing, "bonus points to anyone who responds that they spent their government subsidy on hookers and blow."
Lynn Stahl, a contractor with Veterans Affairs and a member of the network, told the Guardian that the effort is meant to "expose harmful policies, defend public institutions, and equip citizens with tools to push back against authoritarianism."

Stahl stated that #AltGov members are also focusing on creating "action plans" for everyday citizens, including attending town halls and contacting members of Congress. "The idea is to get regular people aware of what's happening...and maybe even inspire some people to run for office," she said.
Additionally, #AltGov members are scheming in encrypted conversations to determine how federal employees can assist one another as Musk's DOGE "chainsaws" through federal waste and abuse, resulting in mass layoffs.
The #AltGov network was originally established during President Trump's first term in the White House. However, those accounts were on X, formerly known as Twitter, and leftwing voters have since abandoned the X social media platform in protest of Elon Musk.
"#AltGov dates from the first Trump administration, but it's even more needed now," said a FEMA employee who wished to remain anonymous. She recently launched the "#AltGov Fema" account on Bluesky, which states in its bio that the accout is dedicated to "helping people before, during, and after (this democratic) disaster."

Identify them and fire them.
Imagine if someone in a company did this. These people are just clueless.

These morons are on the same wavelength as my dad's cousin, who lost her job for bad mouthing her boss on Facebook and he fellow employees turned her in.

So these are the marxists activists who have embedded themselves in our bureaucratic state. Now that we know who they are they should all be fired.

Inciting insurrection against the government isn't protected by the 1A.

These people spend more time fighting back then doing the jobs there were/are paid for.
Go to unemployment line.

he still believes overtly subsidizing EV tech w/o infrastructural support or real market support is the bee's knees...
what's really sad is he's not sub I.Q. ... he simply enjoys playing 'bend over' in a crowd of 'kneepads'...
such is the life of dippo...
