Please listen and share—this is a very serious situation. This is extremely alarming! The Trump administration, across two agencies, is considering bringing criminal charges against employees simply for doing their jobs.

I can only imagine how it must feel to have the weight of your war-torn nation on your shoulders, and an offer of support is contingent upon fealty to a false king. Give in to the mob boss to protect your people? Or stand strong knowing the protection won't materialize anyway?

We need to remember that the federal employees losing their jobs are not "government waste." They are people with families whose jobs and benefits can make or break their well-being.

The purpose of DEI is to ensure everyone has a fair shot at opportunity, even those who look, act, think, behave or believe differently from you. Diversity of thought, experiences and perspectives is vital to an inclusive society. Otherwise we go right back to square one.
