You should have been worrying for years now.
#3 depends where you are on the hit list I suppose. I'm trans, so I'm well past worry-o-clock and am actively making arrangements to leave the country. Someone like a cishet white male tech worker has a lot less to worry about though
You found a way to scream withouy caps--impressive I wish you the best comrade!
That looks like a PieFed bug - the leading # should normally not be parsed into a headline in Markdown unless it is followed by a space. I'll give @rimu@piefed.social a heads up!
That said, there's every reason to scream at this point. I wish all Americans seeking to flee the country the best of luck.
I think so.
That's unclear but my take is that this is an expression of the distress felt by the employees, and perhaps the only possible outlet for their feelings. I suspect that it's more likely the action of one or two people rather that some kind of collectively approved signal.
I just don't know. I'm not even American but I feel very discombobulated.
