Totally a real and genuine person, just also a federal employee with opinions and its not the best time for that.
I broadly angry the onus should not be on them, though my understanding is that they do potentially have uniquely large leverage compared to Reagan era, in that there are very few qualified folks to take over, so they could actually shut things down much more effectively?

Thanks, I have heard this as well though never dug into it, not heard it stated as starkly. Do you have any good sources you like on the coal/nuclear/radiation question?

I hope/suspect there are already out there among them; it is so dangerous; I can’t imagine what it must be like to take part in those vile raids and maintain the cover. This ProPublica piece from earlier this year lays out the experience (pre-Trump II) in brutal detail:
A Mole Infiltrated the Highest Ranks of American Militias. This Is What He Found.
Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends....
