Summary

Nine anonymous FBI agents have sued Trump’s Justice Department, alleging an unlawful purge of officials involved in January 6 and Trump-related investigations.

The lawsuit challenges a DOJ survey used to identify and potentially fire agents, calling it political retribution.

Agents fear data breaches and retaliation, citing Elon Musk’s alleged access to government databases.

The lawsuit claims violations of privacy and First Amendment rights.

    Yeah. I wake up every day praying to the god that I know doesn’t exist, that I will be greeted with a headline proclaiming that someone has finally fucking stepped up.

      Blows my mind that it hasn’t happened yet. I’m really trying to give humanity the benefit of the doubt that and just roll with the assumption that we’re fucking spineless, but that suspension of disbelief is becoming harder and harder to maintain with fuckers like Trump not screwing us out of an election via some kind of electoral college bullshit; but actually winning them cuz the majority of people either fucking love his Nazi rhetoric, or are unbothered by it enough that they’re not willing to lift a fucking finger to stop it.

      So… I think I need to come to terms with the fact that humans are just evil.

      On that note, my sincerest thanks and appreciation to those of you who are an exception.
