Dox my ass. Public officials being identified shouldn't be controversial. We pay them. We deserve to know who they are so we can do something when they act like Nazis.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Hell as a state employee you can look up my title, how long I’ve been employed, salary, etc. Should be the exact same for feds.
Same here, I just want equal treatment for them
I'm not sure what is obfuscated for officer safety or whatever but there's sites like this that have basically federal employee.
I'm a government official and people can walk in the building and demand to see my text messages and emails, and I have to hand them over (with reasonable, well-defined reactions categories like social security numbers, home addresses of certain officials and citizens, etc).
And that's a good thing.
I'm not gonna say I enjoy Open Records Requests, but that's mostly because it's a pain in the ass redacting shit, and I recently had to do a TON because a very high-profile person had interactions with the city and every journalism outlet in the country submitted slightly different requests thay required me having to do reactions on about 10,000 pages of documents despite the requests only covering about 30 emails between them.
But it's a pain I'm willing to put up with to maintain transparency.
Twice you got autocorrected from reactions to reactions, and the idea of doing reactions (as in reactions videos) on 10,000 pages of documents does sound like a pain in the ass.
There’s a lot of free and public ways to do this today. It’s just a question of property ownership. Property needs to be appraised yearly for tax consideration. If there was a website or something similar that provided the same function, man… I’d bet it’s vulnerable.
This is how you protest. Be a pest, put them in the spotlight. Track their identities and make known their actions to the public. They are ashamed, it’s why they wear masks, to hide from public eyes. Let’s put them on blast.
I don't think they're ashamed. I think they want to dodge consequences.
But I agree with you otherwise.
Man, I wish there were consequences for them to dodge.
I think they fear the social consequences (hence masks), ie. What happens when people they know find out what they do? Surely not everyone they know thinks what they're doing is good.
Not wanting people you know to find out what you do because their behavior will change when they know it is kind of the definition of shame.
Yeah that's pretty much what I'm getting at
Or you don't want them to hurt or kill you and yours.
They don't feel bad or humiliated, though. Not everyone who wants to get away with something is ashamed of it.
It's not doxxing, it's preparing the indictments for 2028.
assuming we will have fair elections in 2028 is pretty wild.
I will be voting, and all my neighbors, family, and friends will too. I wonder how many ballots they can manage to lose?
I give decent odds that we’ll be past the ‘lost ballots’ stage and into ‘edited ballots’ territory tbh
Is there a link to the data?
prolly have to find some discord groups/telegram groups. My best guess is head to the darknet for links, ifykyk. If anyone is stupid enough to post links on the clearnet, they almost deserve to be targeted by LE.
(then again, imo posting on discord is stupid, but obviously effective in terms of rapid transmission)
Um, isn’t discord and telegram technically part of the dark net? I always thought the dark net was just direct communication lines and direct links to self-hosted sites/data from individuals.
I think it's the deepweb that is unindexed and privately-accessible communications. Mentally I reserve the darkweb for complete obfuscation of identity, e.g. Tor.
from what I know, there's the term deepnet or deep web, that includes unindexed websites like databases and whatnot for facebook, telegram , etc. . . . And then there is the term darknet, which refers to websites that don't use ordinary protocols, like tor or i2p.
Call it pedantic, but I do think it makes sense to distinguish the two
I don't know 😕 can someone enlighten me with like a hint or dm me.
Keep it up, don't let them have a single moment of peace, they need to feel the fear they are perpetrating on others.
They need the results to reinforce the fear.
Damn… it’s almost like a ton of cleared developers just got laid off without cause. I wonder how this happened.
Do archive.is links work for anyone else? I always just get a blank browser window that looks like it's stuck perpetually loading.
Yes, they work. You might check whether there's a browser extension or something on your network that is filtering the site, or try using a different browser.
I figure it’s gotta be something on my end, I just can’t figure out what. Pi-hole doesn’t show it in blocked requests. I do use Unbound as my upstream DNS, could be there. Most likely culprit - it’s always DNS!
Wouldn’t it be fucking wild if an AI was in charge of validating clearance in 2025? I bet a ton of people would be shocked. That being said, there’d be at least several handfuls of people that knew.
Anyone got a working link for a site that doesn't want to make you pay for what should be public information?
