She decided to flip her middle finger as she rode her bicycle, which was caught on camera by a photographer. Briskman had worked as a marketing analyst for Akima, a government contractor, for eight months until she was fired for using the viral photo as her as her Facebook cover photo and her Twitter profile picture. She sued for wrongful termination as another employee also had "obscene content", which it was her job to flag, on his social media accounts, but was allowed to remove it.

The judge granted the full severance pay she was owed.2019 election In 2019, Briskman was elected to the Algonkian District seat of the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors , defeating eight-year incumbent Suzanne M.
