    AltGov: Bureaucrats in revolt.

    According to the guardian:

    Calling itself #AltGov, the network has developed a visible, public-facing presence in recent weeks through Bluesky accounts, most of which bear the names or initials of federal agencies, aimed at getting information out to the public – and correcting disinformation – about the chaos being unleashed by the Trump administration.

    With 40 accounts to date, their collective megaphone is getting louder, as most of the accounts have tens of thousands of followers, with “Alt CDC (they/them)” being the largest, at nearly 95,000 followers.

    A small band of bureaucrats have taken their anti-Trump efforts to social media, turning their conspiracy theories into outright government insubordination. At best this appears to be a non-story. The “AltGov” operates on an app called Bluesky, known for congealing woke and weird political and fetish communities into information silos, protected from any other information. The presence of preferred pronouns indicate their woke bonafides and the live-action-roleplaying indicative of this sort of ideology.

    But knowing the weaknesses involved and the absence of any opposition in these silos, radicalization is almost inevitable. How far will they take it? Sabotage? Murder? Terrorism?
