Bianca here is a real American hero. Extremely proud to know there are still people willing to stand up to tyranny and do their jobs no matter what. The people who are willing to help even when they're not benefitting are the real Patriots. 🌲
Yet another dedicated scientist and public servant, this time from US Fish and Wildlife, showing up unpaid after she was fired to volunteer to protect an endangered species.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
