Uh... had enough???

It's only been a  few weeks now, but Trump's got his dirty fingers over everything already.  If you are (or have been) a government employee, YOU may have seen Donald's hands in the cookie jar.  Go to https://www.ap.org/contact-us/news-tips/ , then go to SecureDrop, and follow the instructions.  I can't absolutely guarantee your privacy, but the Tor network is damn good.  Good luck.

If you aren't a government employee, but you know someone who is, gently nudge him/her to do the right thing.  Don't worry if she/he initially says no.  Trump'll do something to screw up, and you will have done something to plant a seed.  Thanks.
