Victoria DeLano is one of thousands of federal probationary employees fired in recent days by the new Department of Government Efficiency team. At the time of her firing, she said she was the only Office of Civil Rights investigator based in Alabama. www.al.com/educationlab...

I believe that was first done by the Romans and is where we get the word decimate.

Not me. Yeah losing my job would be awful but I will never be the "I was just following orders" guy. I wouldn't buy into the logic when I served, I'm not going to now. I'd rather be on the right side of history.

I hope it never comes to that, but if it does, I will be happy and proud to tell them to go screw themselves. I will also make damn certain my leadership knows that I will participate in any legal action against them for following an illegal order.

Same play book.

Cut Federal investigators

We still have STATE investigators 😉

On a positive note, just think of all the new job openings once this criminal piece of crap is banished.

Nothing will be the same. We'll be a uphill battle to establish the departments protocols data...

Agreed. Republicans break things, Democrats fix things. Been that way for my 6 decades on earth.

All of it is disheartening... from understanding that american exceptionalism is an awful thing, the whitewashed history, the constant racism throughout history in the US, the dependency on the population being ignorant... fuck this place and people!

The targeted effect is that they will report workers who resist for removal.

Germans began to turn neighbors in to the Nazis out of fear.

If only the remaining stood together collectively to resist. They can't fire 100%

That’s the plan but they under estimate the creative resistance of our civil servants.

When the Nuremburg 2.0 trials begin, the SES, especially the ones in charge of HR, should be sitting with the other defendants.

It is complete intimidation. Not everyone can walk away from a career or job.

The 57% of folks who were brave enough to say Trump is out of control..... show that the numbers favor us

Now that power needs to be deployed and it needs honest leaders to organize it.

Time is not our friend

Forced loyalty. It's like an abusive relationship.

Mass firings, shutting down grants, tariffs and deportation are ways you crash the economy. Trump is too self-obsessed to see that, but the rest of us should. What's up that we don't?
