Trump and his cronies peddle the myth we’re “Washington bureaucrats.”
But 85% of federal workers live outside D.C.
We help vets in Phoenix, inspect meat in Iowa, fight fires in Montana, and run weather models in Oklahoma.
We work for all Americans, every day.

It’s not too late to improve the situation until we’re all dead.
This is another of my own key takeaways from reading a lot of history.

‼️ The National Park Service has REMOVED mentions of transgender people being involved with Stonewall. Not only did the remove the world "Transgender" but changed "LGBTQ+" to "LGBQ+".
The federal government is attempting to erase us and take away our history.
This pride, we riot.
