Snopes: Unpacking claims about new website allegedly run by anonymous federal workers. “In sum, Snopes has not yet verified the legitimacy of the website, though its content and other reports claim it is authentically written by former and current federal employees operating anonymously for fear of professional repercussions.”
#WeTheBuilders
Alt USDS, a dozen current/former federal workers, are behind a new outlet for gov workers to share what #DOGE is doing to their workplaces & the broader impact.
Besides having made privacy-conscious sites themselves for the gov at US Digital Service, they're working with a security consultant to ensure submissions are secure & anonymous to the public. Will vet submissions & confirm sources.
