National website update probably carefully planned for months, years even, and rolled out in a moment that amounts to an employee armageddon. It’s surreal seeing dozens of former colleagues start to show up as “Unknown User” show up in Microsoft Teams.

“We have 300,000+ acres of National Forest, we see somewhere in the range of 3,400 day users and a couple thousand overnight users in those wilderness areas every year […] This year, we will have about one-third of the field going staff that we’ve had over the past couple of years.” #DOGE #RECEIPTS

“To expedite wildfire mitigation and forest restoration efforts, projects in areas covered by Emergency Situation Determinations (ESDs) will be prioritized in the selection process.” Btw, LANDFIRE dataset used as a data input for Brooke’s map says it’s not appropriate to use for project level work.

I do want to highlight this from the Chief’s note, alone: They know this year is going to be bad for fire. Abnormally bad. They *know* Yet, I hear no signs of stopping further, harmful blows to our workforce. www.nifc.gov/nicc-files/p...

The #AltCitizen is out in the world, & the Forest Service, standing up for what’s right against pressure to “go with the flow.” A few months (it feels like years) back, Marines now working at the Forest Service said “No” to DOGE’s phishing scheme. “No” is a full sentence, but they had more to say!
