Oddly enough, another current FEMA employee who signed the Katrina Declaration was notified on Tuesday that no further disciplinary action would be taken against her because she was protected by the Whistleblower Protection Act and the First Amendment.
FEMA employee terminated for signing whistleblower letter
It appears to be a major violation of federal whistleblower protections and constitutional rights.

SCOOP—In August, nearly 200 current/former FEMA staffers published the Katrina Declaration, a whistleblower letter detailing all the dangers posed by current leadership.
All current employees were put on indefinite leave, and now I've learned one has been fired in violation of federal protections:

Whether this was random street crime or targeted political violence, I think it was bad for the president to unnecessarily put the National Guard in harm’s way like this. They simply don’t need to be there.

Massive deportation always required deporting ordinary immigrants, documented and undocumented, as, yes, immigrants commit less crime than citizens.
Too bad the media failed to report on the most important policy promise.

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

Val knows what’s up. This just came, a nice note about my ginger pie.
It’s not too late. You could make one for Thanksgiving. Or, you know…the weekend, a birthday, your cat’s quinceañera. You don’t really need an excuse. Just make one when the mood hits.
