🧵🧵 Meet the insurgency working to thwart Elon Musk and President Trump called the #AltGov movement, a shadow operation working within our federal government to undermine DOGE and President Trump.
The #AltGov movement represents a collective of anonymous federal employees and contractors who utilize social media platforms to challenge and provide alternative perspectives to official government narratives. Originating during the early months of the Trump administration, this movement has evolved into a significant force trying to undermine everything the administration has been doing.

The inception of the #AltGov movement can be traced back to early 2017, following actions by the Trump administration that included banning Muslim immigrants, repealing Net Neutrality, and removing climate change information from Environmental Protection Agency websites.
In response, government employees and concerned citizens took to social media, particularly Twitter, to share insider information and counteract official statements they believed misrepresented facts or undermined public interest.

In recent months, the #AltGov movement has experienced a resurgence, particularly in response to policies implemented by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (Doge). A clandestine network of employees and contractors across various federal agencies has been actively resisting new mandates perceived as detrimental to public institutions. For instance, when Musk required federal employees to list their weekly activities, the #AltGov network coordinated a collective response by sending excerpts from the federal employee oath, emphasizing their commitment to the Constitution over administrative directives.
While whistleblowing is necessary in cases of clear abuse or illegal activity, a widespread culture of anonymous resistance inside government agencies can destabilize democracy and open the door for foreign manipulation.
There are actual whistleblower statutes and protection that is offered to people who want to properly report government abuse, or malfeasance. That is not what this is, what this is is a bunch of bureaucrats who are putting our national security at risk by staging a revolt from inside the government.

Government employees with access to classified or sensitive information might be tempted to leak details that could harm U.S. security interests.
They are currently running this operation from BlueSky.
This needs to be fully investigated and people need to lose their jobs.

This is coordinated subversion. I will now be monitoring these handles on BlueSky, if anyone has time, I recommend they monitor these handles as well.
