Did I fight hard enough? Did I stand up for people? Did I care and show empathy? 2 of 3 wasn’t enough today. We lost some amazing people. If you know someone— in any agency— who was terminated… please support them. They are valued. They did good. These actions were indiscriminate. #Resist #Rebel - ThreadSky

Stories of how this affects you are being collected. ANPR. Check in there with brief, first person accounts of the impact this has, especially if you have already made travel/housing plans.

For those of us on the outside but who want to help (financially or otherwise), is anyone aware of regionally based groups being set up for assistance?

Out #ALTgov group specifically will not ask for funds, so I am not sure. I have seen some gofundme pages but can’t vouch for them (it’s tricky). Sorry I am not much help here.

My federal colleagues are some of the most dedicated and thankless people I know. It’s unbelievable people don’t think they’re hard working. No one would work in gov if they didn’t care about servicing their people. I’m so sorry 🫶😭

You fought hard enough. You show empathy. You care. You stand up for people.
You're fighting on the correct side.
Take your breath.
Take a walk.
Recharge.
Come out swinging.

Within the government employee community, I think we all know someone by now. Or know a probationary employee who assumes they will be terminated soon. It’s not ok. Check in on your people.

I hope this doesn't come across as a platitude. I have to keep telling myself this when I get in my head about feeling like I didn't do enough and not succeed.

You were able to do more than the average person.

I am so, so sorry. I find myself to be increasingly without words … and I have rarely been rendered speechless in all of my 48 years 💔

Yes, it was a tough day and one of my friends from Forestry and two from FWS were let go. I'm so angry. Big hug 🫂 to you all. Know we have your back.

altfws.bsky.social•7 days ago

I am angry too. And sad.

It is so gross. These folks are brilliant and we're never going to get them back. The nation loses.

Also gonna leave this here again, as well as the knowledge that at least one large lawsuit is in the works.

Watching the carnage from the Forest-Service-adjacent side of the house today. Absolutely heartbreaking.

But it is not your fault. A lot of good, caring, hyper-competent leaders across the agencies are feeling crushed and eaten up inside right now…
…but it is not. your. fault.

We will fight on.

More are coming. Likely soon. Maybe tonight.

Hugs to all, this has been excruciating. Being forced to notify people of termination without cause.
