1/2 A reminder to anyone who was RIFed.

💯 you do NOT deserve this.

Quick tips if you do get a RIF notice:
❌ Do not send a read receipt
❌ Do not respond right away - the union will probably provide language for response
✅ Forward notice to your personal email

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.

“We refuse to pay the troops and also we’re doing indiscriminate firings of people for no reason”

I’ve never seen an administration so faithfully committed to self-immolation in my entire life

Ballston, VA on Wednesday.

A view of commuters returning home through fall trees touched gold in the late afternoon light.

For any of our Fed family and friends, we see you and we are you. 🫶

If you receive a RIF notice, back up every file you think you may need before access is cut.

You did nothing wrong. You have held the line with incredible strength and we will continue to stand with you all the way. 🤍✊

No one is OK right now.

At least, no one with working empathy and a knowledge of History who’s paying attention.

It is an emotional impossibility to be living in days like the ones we’re in and to be fully unaffected.

And did you get what
you wanted from this life, even so?
I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved, to feel myself
beloved on the earth.

WWII "Friend" poster series from the Allied Forces, originally demonstrating the various Allied forces (British, Australian, Chinese, French, Dutch, etc.) and their appearances

It reads:

"This man is your FRIEND

He fights for FREEDOM"

The image is a sepia/black and white toned image of the Portland Frog protester, simply labelled FROG

Frog worked hard. He raked the leaves into a pile. Soon Toad’s lawn was clean. Frog picked up his rake and started home.

Toad pushed and pulled on the rake. He raked the leaves into a pile. Soon there was not a single leaf in Frog’s front yard. Toad took his rake and started home.

Periodic reminders:

Vaccines save lives & parents need discussions with trusted professionals, not propaganda.

Transgender children & their families need evidence based support, not stigma.

Autistic children & their families need evidence based support, not conspiracy theories.

Women should be believed. [period]

Diversity in all its many forms makes us better.

Kindness is a strength.

Children are ALWAYS watching the adults.

Getting outside your comfort zone is good for growth as a person.

If criticism makes you uncomfortable, good, reflect on it and learn.
