#AltGov: the secret network of federal workers resisting Doge from the inside

Government employees fight the Trump administration's chaos by organizing and publishing information on Bluesky

After seeing Elon Musk's X post on Saturday afternoon about an email that would soon land in the inboxes of 2.3 million federal employees asking them to list five things they did the week before, a clandestine network of employees and contractors at dozens of federal agencies began talking on an encrypted app about how to respond.

Employees on a four-day, 10-hours-a-day schedule wouldn't even see the email until Tuesday - past the deadline for responding - some noted. There was also a bit of snark: bonus points to anyone who responds that they spent their government subsidy on hookers and blow," one worker said.
