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

Drives me crazy. If you don’t want to fight say so. Stop trying to discourage others from doing the work you’re too jaded to do.
You try 50 times and win the 51st. That’s how it works. Progress happens when you find ways to make it matter. And sometimes it’s just your persistence.

Can’t wait until these guys have to define in court a “DEI hire” and “DEI employees.”
So this is the lawsuit I may have to join. Someone please coax out of Rufo the particular cabinet members who are making lists of women and racial minorities who will targeted for firing.
The guy who manufactured the outrage against Critical Race Theory and Elon Musk are now just simply firing non-whites and non-males in the federal government.

Cecile Richards was a giant. A visionary. A good trouble maker and a fighter until the very end.
May her memory be a blessing and a call to action for all of us — to keep fighting every day to protect and expand the rights and freedoms of all Americans.
