Just to update everyone: The Ninth Circuit has denied the Trump administration’s request to lift the injunction. That means the mass firings—RIFs at many agencies—remain on hold for now. The legal fight continues, but this is a major win for federal employees across the country.

Oh cool, a new federal workplace rule: ‘Reply to an email or you resign.’ Totally normal. Definitely not coercion. Super legal, I’m sure.
What’s next? ‘Failure to clap during meetings will be considered a resignation’?
Federal employees serve the country, not a billionaire’s inbox.

Spoons Always Win.
When faced with a fork in the road, federal employees chose the spoon—because spoons scoop, support, and stir things up, while forks just divide. In the great cutlery showdown, solidarity always wins. #SpoonSolidarity #ForkOff #MindfulResistance

I’ve spent 20,000+ hours representing federal employees. I’ve seen what happens when power goes unchecked—careers ruined, truth buried.
But I’ve also seen people stand up and demand better.
We need to face what’s happening. Mindfully. Strategically. Together.
