We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."

The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.

The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.

It's time.

Depending on how this develops, it can go one of three ways:

It's nothing and turns into just a minor rallying point online.
It becomes a nuisance for the administration (like the Trump and Elon foot video). It's an annoyance that they expend resources on rooting out because it hurts their feelings but not much more beyond that.
They start publishing real limdis material detailing the shocking and horrible things, as well as the banal evil things. Stuff that could cause some real damage.

Obviously, the risk involved goes up as you move down the list. Best case scenario, I think, is a mix of 2 and 3--a nuisance that occasionally becomes a real thorn in the side--but putting a concerted effort in to truly root it out is counter-productive so leaks just become the cost of doing business.

ETA: If you are a government worker or know someone who is, do what you can to push these accounts to the 2/3 territory and encourage others to do likewise.
