This is particularly noteworthy right now, as the agency is already quite understaffed and losing people to ICE.

By the end of last year, the agency lost a net of more than 1700 employees, wiping out all of their hiring gains from the year before:

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Investigate and prosecute political opponents, sell pardons to your rich friends so they can commit crimes with impunity. Authoritarianism isn’t coming, it’s here, whether people realize it or not.

I want to put in a lot of effort as a woman.
