There have been calls to flood [hr@opm.gov](mailto:hr@opm.gov) (employees are supposed to list 5 things they did last week). Competent IT folks would filter out non .gov emails, but who knows if competent filters are still in place.  
I used my backup email with this:

1. Avoided committing any felonies, or even misdemeanors
2. Did not use my position for personal gain
3. Did not give a Nazi salute
4. Did not engage in sexual harassment
5. Followed the Constitution

There are also calls to do no purchasing this Friday (Feb 28) - if you must buy food or whatever, do so at small local place. I doubt it will have much impact but I thought I would at least pass it on.
