This is part of the poison fed into people's brain by Reagan, federal employees are evil greedy people in shadowy buildings in DC, not "real Americans" and that has always been dumb. Now it's tragic.
Just learned from NPR that the federal government is the largest employer in the great Kansas City area, for example. I found it helpful to be reminded that, of course, this isn’t just about people who work and live in DC. Federal employees are in all of our communities.

The state of Ohio is in the same position. They’ve been told they’ll have to go back to the office, but much of that real estate was given up in 2021.
The clock is ticking for federal workers to return to in-person work, but many say there simply isn’t enough space in their offices.
Trump ordered workers back to the office. They ask, where, exactly?

The University of Minnesota is pre-emptively complying with Trump's executive order on diversity. If you live in Minnesota, please call the Office of the President to express your thoughts on this. I would urge you to encourage them to fight the order in court.
