Feels like a first amendment lawsuit waiting to happen tbh

It's my understanding there are rules at the federal level that prevent federal employees from having certain kinds of speech or organizational ties that would normally be considered a constraint on their free speech, if they were any other citizens. But even a counter monkey at the USPS is a "government actor," and that puts them in a position where they're not allowed to have those associations or that speech because it could look like the government was endorsing it.

I would guess states have (or should have) a similar set of restrictions.

Someone who's worked at the state level would need to correct or confirm me on this, though.
