Hey #ForestService Fam 💚 — Before you read this— please know USDA is not mentioned here.
Further: our illustrious top boss in the White House blundered into mentioning this is politically motivated (and I’m sure any lawyer will be happy to argue, unlawful).
They’re just trying to scare people.

The Trump admin has started firing federal workers 10 days into the shutdown, according OMB Director Russ Vought — who called the firings "substantial."
At least nine agencies appear to be affected.

Another sunrise reflection gem is Maroon Bells in the White River National Forest near the ski town of Aspen Colorado. There are nearby campgrounds & endless hiking in the wilderness too.

New Inside the Forest Service story up.
No surprise the agency monitors social media.
A note of caution to #ForestService fam 💚 was shared:
“Don’t post or share personal social media content during work hours.”
Please heed this. Anyone can see when we post.
To be clear, I *only* post off duty.

I worked with 2 illegal #wildfire starters at the Valley of the Moon in the @Angeles_NF since I could not find @forestservice employees. I brought a gallon of water & extinguished their ground fire and spoke to them. They knew they were committing the crime, knew they got caught #hiking #wildfires
