Just because it says ‘anonymous’ doesn’t mean it can’t be traced back to you. Unfortunately, that is the reality with most ‘anonymized’ data today.

Why “Anonymized Data” Still Knows Exactly Who You Are X2Y

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.

Typical of a government who gives no shits about its hard working employees.

1. Shut down the government and don’t even bother to try to work with Dems to figure out a compromise.
2. Threaten for a week to fire employees. Enjoy our trauma.
2. Fire us.

1/2 A reminder to anyone who was RIFed.

💯 you do NOT deserve this.

Quick tips if you do get a RIF notice:
❌ Do not send a read receipt
❌ Do not respond right away - the union will probably provide language for response
✅ Forward notice to your personal email

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress over two weeks ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in.

Why the delay?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.
