   Hey #civicTech friends! If you're in or around government work or you ever have any aspirations to that end, I highly recommend reading this and making some decisions!

   For myself, I've sworn off of using my real name in any of my political posting, and I've sworn off donations to candidates or parties, and I recommend you do the same.

     I can't be fired where I am now, and I'm too unimportant to worry about my safety, but if the fascists ever decide to put my name on a list of employees who are reasons why my employer should be dismantled or brought under fascist control, that would do FAR more damage than any small-dollar donation ever could. If that list was going to be 1,000, it's now 999, and I think that's important.

     Campaigns are an inefficient way to do good, anyway.
