Hearing employees exercise ethical courage by choosing to blow the whistle on illegality & abuses of power still gives me the chills, followed by the will to keep fighting for them. Democracy depends on whistleblowers like @govacctproj.bsky.social client Erez Reuveni: www.nytimes.com/2025/07/23/p...

A thread about DOJ’s astoundingly misleading responses to the 27-page Reuveni letter (since backed with 150pp of corroborating texts/emails), alleging contempt-like conduct in 3 cases: JGG, Abrego, DVD. Let’s examine DAG Todd Blanche’s & AG PamBondi’s responses. ... 1/9

The Trump administration is now seeking to generate leverage against election officials by threatening them with criminal prosecution. We know where this ends.

I know who I believe. Our @govacctproj.bsky.social client. #Whistleblower #RuleofLaw #TruthMatters. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

#Whistleblowers like DOJ attorney Erez Reuveni are heroes standing up for the rule of law and democracy. Proud to help him and other employees of conscience defend their rights to tell the truth about illegality and abuses of power and seek justice for reprisal w/ my team @govacctproj.bsky.social

@protectdemocracy.org is representing @govacctproj.bsky.social and NARFE in a lawsuit to protect the rights of civil servants--including their #whistleblower rights. Nonpartisan civil servants are guardrails against abuses; we ALL need them to be protected against retaliation for speaking up.

Thank you @raskin.house.gov for gathering me from @govacctproj.bsky.social; @nteunion.bsky.social, @democracyforward.bsky.social & @AFGE to educate federal workers about their rights & options. This was more than a webinar. 👇

So proud that @govacctproj.bsky.social's is the fiscal sponsor of Justice Connection, a vital new project launched to empower DOJ alums to support embattled DOJ employees and support the need for an apolitical DOJ filled with experienced, dedicated civil servants. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/31/u...

Thank you @maxwellfrost.bsky.social for your work fighting to shut down the Baker Detention Center validated by @aclu.bsky.social's complaint and @govacctproj.bsky.social's recent #whistleblower disclosures: whistleblower.org/press-releas...

Thinking of Dan Ellsberg today, whose moral courage instigated the founding of @GovAcctProj where we have helped protect thousand of #whistleblowers and ensured their disclosures make a difference for nearly 50 years. RIP to an American hero. 🙏🙏

This story by @myVPM's @anchorangie relates directly to @myVPM's & @StoryMechanics' incredible podcast @AdmissiblePod, the last episode of which dropped this week. Must. Listen. Radio. This story is why:

"This is the most current test of a first principle for a free society, whether any person is above the law, and that includes presidents." @GovAcctProj's Legal Director Tom Devine captures our organization's commitment to democracy & the rule of law:

So excited to listen to this episode of @callingbspod I recorded about my favorite subject: Whistleblowers: A very special kind of bs detector

Whistleblowers keep America honest, so keep them safe | Opinion . Grateful for my colleagues @GovAcctProj who work with me every day to protect #whistleblowers to help ensure that #truthmatters. And most grateful, of course, to the #whistleblowers.

"If we care about the information provided by whistleblowers, we need to care about the whistleblowers too." #Whistleblowers help ensure that #truthmatters. But we need to do more to protect those who protect us. My @Newsweek OpEd:

Today is the last day to support #whistleblowers by voting for @GovAcctProj to receive funds from CREDO Mobile! All you need to do is vote--no money, no need to be a CREDO member. Please vote before midnight! . Thanks!!

Women in this country are denied choice about their bodies not just b/c of #Dobbs but for those women in ICE detention who were subjected to nonconsensual, invasive gynecological procedures. It is horrifying & #whistleblower Dawn Wooten is a f'ing hero. Thank you @SenOssoff

Tomorrow & in the coming days, democracy is not just on the ballot, it is the ballot. @GovAcctProj created a free guide to help election workers know their rights if they see any threats to our midterm elections. If you know a poll worker, please share!👇

Election workers committed to the nonpartisan administration of our elections are in the best position to ensure this isn't our last free election. @GovAcctProj wrote this guide to have their backs so if they see shenanigans they can say something:

So grateful that the @hughhefner Foundation has honored @GovAcctProj client #Whistleblower nurse Dawn Wooten with the 2022 First Amendment Award.

General strike!

Statement from @GovAcctProj supporting the vital work of the bipartisan @January6thCmte & the #January6thHearings. We honor the 1000+ #whistleblowers & witnesses--from both parties--who shared truthful information to counter the Big Lie & protect democracy.https://t.co/wRJyRmfvgG

This time last year, @GovAcctProj client Dawn Wooten, a Georgia nurse, courageously spoke out publicly about abuses at Irwin County Detention Center, including unwanted and unneeded hysterectomies suffered by women immigrants in detention. 1/6

I didn't expect to cry when getting my first vaccine shot today (tears of joy, relief, exhaustion, anger, liberation, gratitude, etc etc etc). #sciencematters #VaccinesSaveLives

After this speech from McConnell I want to know how he justifies his vote.

Every Senator voting not guilty has violated their oath of office to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Some should be prosecuted for inciting an insurrection, & all censured.

Faith leaders & faith communities are important allies for supporting #whistleblowers who speak up about wrongdoing. Terrific op-ed by @brianmclaren on @GovAcctProj's new Bearing Witness initiative which helps faith communities empower truth-tellers.

Dangerous politicization at NSA trying to burrow in lawyer involved with Ukraine scandal: Acting defense secretary orders NSA director to immediately install former GOP operative as the agency’s top lawyer

I hope House members are drafting articles of impeachment while in lockdown because of sedition stoked by the President and his congressional enablers.

This I know: "Truthful information disclosed early can mitigate or prevent further wrongdoing and harm. Employees who choose to blow the whistle on abuses they witness during this transition can help the mechanisms of democracy save democracy itself."

So thrilled @protctdemocracy and their amazing staff are all in as partners in @GovAcctProj's Democracy Protection Initiative supporting election integrity#whistleblowers ❤️

Of course the willful harm to immigrants in ICE detention (raised by so many brave #whistleblowers) is rooted in the same intention as the evil separation policy.

That debate eradicated any doubt that launching @GovAcctProj's new Democracy Protection Initiative to support election integrity whistleblowers was the right decision.

Learning of #RBG's death during an Erev Rosh Hashanah zoom service at the end of the one of the most intense weeks of my professional life representing #Whistleblower #DawnWooten was almost too much. /1

We might not have a vaccine against COVID, but we have a vaccine against abuse of power, illegality & threats to public health & safety: #whistleblowers. #ThankAWhistleblower #NationalWhistleblowerAppreciationDay #whistleblowerswillsavedemocracy

This is how management should always respond to #whistleblowers & their disclosures.

Not sure if it's too late to register, but this even will be worth turning in to--starts in 9 min/10:30 EDT/7:30 PDT (Blowing the Whistle on Hanford) featuring @atomofseattle, @tommuellerX & @BobFergusonAG:

Listen to @SenatorDurbin's opening remarks at the hearing on #COVID19 & incarceration/detention w/@GovAcctProj client Dr. Scott Allen. Law enforcement's systemic racism driving protests around the country is embodied, literally, in jails & ICE detention.https://t.co/YoUBrTLDQg

Know Your Rights.

Congress needs to protect IGs from being fired at will & also strengthen #whistleblower protections. Whistleblowers are vulnerable to weak IGs, and they are an essential, and increasingly RARE, mechanism for accountability. These holes make Americans dangerously vulnerable.

Did my first Facebook Live for @GovAcctProj on #Whistleblowing & #COVID19: Tips for Truth-Tellers, something I care about deeply. Hoping some of the information here helps all of us who benefit from #whistleblowers & their disclosures.

#Whistleblowers are heroes, and we need them & their information now more than ever. Support federal employees & contractors by sharing this new resource from @GovAcctProj written to help gov't workers blow the whistle safely & effectively.

Federal Whistleblowers Need--& Deserve--stronger protections. Sign the Petition Today to strengthen the rights of brave federal workers who blow the whistle on abuses that erode democracy and endanger all of us. via @Change
