I wish I could have been a fly on the wall the moment a 19 year old DOGEbag got access to the VA system only to realize the VA still uses VISTA - a proprietary MUMPS-based programming language from 1978.

Weekly pep talk: For federal employees- 1) do your job well because the work you do matters. 2) don’t violate the law and give them an easy reason to target you. This includes the Hatch Act. 3) treat coworkers, subordinates, and supervisors kindly- this crap is hurting everyone. 4) take breaks.

What’s wasteful is ordering feds to explain their jobs instead of letting them DO their jobs.

We can’t wait to do big things to #resist. Start where you are and do what you can. If all you can do is love your peeps and make it through the day with your head held high, do that! As AOC attests, no act of kindness is ever wasted—spread the love we all need. Serve the people not the king.

Reminder: They're trying to demoralize you, and they're doing a great job of it. Part of resisting is making time for joy despite the attempts to make you feel this is not the time for it. Love your people. Dig the art that speaks to you. Go to the places where life flows into you. You deserve joy.
