I can honestly say I have thoroughly enjoyed my time as a federal worker.

Right now I'm working on my resume. I'm open to work, preferably in finance as I have my accounting degree. If you know of anyone hiring please let me know.

As I have mentioned before, please do not post your political beliefs as I am not interested in debates or opinions. During this time, please remember that government employees are workers at risk of losing their job. It's scary as most of us have dedicated our careers to government and government operations is all that most of us know and now will be forced to look outside for other options and start over. No matter which side everyone is one, no one wants to lose their job so please be mindful of this. Remember that government employees are humans too and it is a very scary time for most of us and our families.

do you wanna stop fascism? want to see trump and elon musk lose power?

working class solidarity is the first step

our entire lives, we've been tricked and manipulated into fighting among ourselves, because they know if we worked together, we would be able to take them down.

why do you think, every time that something bad happens, there's all the media spin about who we should blame?

they love to do this for age, think about all the boomers vs. gen X vs. gen Z articles and social media posts you've seen

but they do the same shit all the time with different things. their aim is to split the working class into as many splinter groups as possible.

we need to stop letting the assholes in power divide us like this.

unfortunately, that means extending solidarity to people who haven't earned it, including people who chose to vote for Trump.

most of these people were tricked and manipulated. many of them have been fed a steady diet of misinformation. many of them are proud, insufferable bigots.

but being smugly superior, insulting, rude or intolerant isn't how we change people's minds. the best way to do that is by having a two-way conversation.

we are all so busy yelling at eachother. it doesn't work. we need solidarity.
