We hope history recalls Justice KBJ as someone who resisted, who refused complicity in the destruction of critical services. Someone who made a choice to have her eyes open.

This is a blow to our goal of immediately restoring NIOSH- and more broadly, a blow to democracy.

We will keep fighting.

Gonna try to not think about news this weekend and enjoy family time.

Because come Monday, I have questions galore for my workplace. And I expect at least a plan of how we're going to fight to provide all needed services to the public.

The fight takes a new shape and style but we still fight.

Trump’s VA is falling apart.

Support staff are gone. Nurses are scrambling. Doctors are prepping rooms and booking appointments themselves. Veterans are waiting longer for basic care.

This isn’t reform. It’s sabotage. And Veterans are paying the price.

My altsibling @rebelfema.altgov.info
has the best advice.

Indeed, a coworker told me this week their act of #resistence is #joy. Reminded me to get back to mine.

Your #joy is your own to find and treasure, especially amid the weighing darkness.
