Maybe it is time for those who work for the government to speak out and call out the dictator who has seized the public sphere. I once worked for the US Justice Department until I could no longer give me over to supporting that war. The job with the government have many benefits and luxuries others do not.
The price of those luxuries is a duty to speak out when we stray from justice and the law. That time can come to each of us at a different moment, and I can respect each. But the staff in Badlands has now seen moment to speak. Others need follow that lead.
I call on everyone working for the federal government now to speak openly if they see their employer stray from democratic principles.
Time to be a real citizen, speak out.
