Someone at the EEOC has pushed back

From the Reddit/fednews subreddit- someone sent this to ALL in the EEOC-


"Someone sent this email to ALL EEOC employees. And before you ask yes they included their name on the email. I'm excluding it out of respect but thought the message needed a wider audience. And someone just hit reply all

Good morning, Andrea. Apparently no one in leadership is willing to ring the alarm bells so it falls upon one of us to do it. The tactics you are employing and actions you have taken in lock step with this new administration are illegal and unconstitutional. You are not fit to be our chair much less hold a license to practice law. I will not participate in attempts to target private citizens and colleagues through the recent illegal executive orders. I swore an oath to the Constitution of the United States, and the Commission serves the people of the United States. If you want to continue following the illegal and unethical orders of our president and the unelected leader of "D***" that's on you.

As I said in the email I sent to my colleagues yesterday (which was mysteriously deleted not only from their inboxes, but from my sent box), I know I take a great personal risk in sending out this message. But, at the end of the day, my actions align with what the EEOC was charged with doing under the law. I will not compromise my ethics and my duty to uphold the law. I will not cower to bullying and intimidation.

If upon reflection, you feel like now would be a good time to take a vacation and resign from your position, please 'reply all' to this email and put "I'd Like to Occupy Mars!" in the subject line. We will take this as notification that you are resigning your position as acting chair.

P.S. Happy Black History Month!"
