I have taken six oaths to this country. Be rest assured I have not taken my last.

For those who are in the federal service or those who have recently separated against your will: Remember your oath. Exercise your rights to their fullest extent allowable by law. Do not volunteer away what has not, and cannot be, taken from you.

For those who are not in federal service: listen to and amplify our voices. We are too few to be heard on our own. Reach out to those you know and be there for them. This is a difficult time for many of us.

The above is true for every one of the dozens of my close friends that have been fired, and for the thousands let go that I have not had the privilege of knowing personally.

I have given every job everything I have. I have given this country everything I have. I have never received anything less than a stellar performance evaluation. I live and breathe the values of this great nation in all that I say and do.

Many of us fear speaking out due to misunderstandings of our rights, or more likely, stepping out of line and increasing our risk of extrajudicial retribution. We can however, advocate for the law, justice, and state the facts as they stand, irrefutably.

We have limitations on expressing political beliefs and advocating policy in a manner which exploits our trusted position as federal service members. This is a very valued and important law that reinforces the most fundamental tenets of our democracy.

From us. For many, it already has. For those of you not in government circles, know that all federal employees are bound by the Hatch Act. We are limited in what we can say in public specifically to prevent the politicization of our capacities.

and for three different federal service positions. I have meant every word of these oaths. I chose a life of service to my country, not defined by partisanship, but rather explicit loyalty to my country and its constitution. I, and many others, are at risk of that call to service being stripped

That is no longer the leading assumption. I have no information about the future security of my position. Many of my closest friends have not been as lucky. I have taken six oaths to this country-once as a U.S. Army cadet, once to enlist, once to commission as an officer,

The PMF Program was terminated by executive order late Wednesday night. To the best of my knowledge, I still hold my job. I previously understood my position to be protected due to its importance for national security.

*this statement expressed is mine alone and does not reflect the official policy or position of the U.S. Government* Today I took my headshot for the Presidential Management Fellowship. At the time, I fully expected it to be the last action I took as a federal employee.

The reason to fight is not necessarily to win. It is to do the right thing. There is immense satisfaction in working for causes and ideal greater than yourself. You must do good wherever you can. And when you cannot you bear witness. It is why I am past grief, past depression.

Imagine going about your own business, which you’re minding; firing up ye olde internets; and learning not only that there’s a term “hot rodent men,” but that you’re an example

A screenshot from Instagram: “How ‘hot rodent’ men became Hollywood’s sexiest heartthrobs: Gen Z fans are going wild for actors with unusual features, including Barry Keoghan, Kieran Culkin and Jeremy Allen White.” A photo of each “hot rodent man” is shown. The caption: “Ladies, do you have a favorite ‘hot rodent’ man?”

“Suits” drinking game: • “Listen to me” - drink • “What are you saying?”* - drink • Unnecessary use of a lead’s name when the speaker already has their full attention (“Jessica” “Harvey” “Mike”) - shot there are only 3 rules you’ll be wasted in an hour

We have an increasingly extensive body of evidence that transphobia is not a major mover of votes. Don't let politicians who are selling out trans people pretend otherwise.

"Look for the helpers" is a maxim for children and it irritates the shit out of me when adults use it because we are adults, we have to be the helpers now, not just stand back and wait for someone else to do it.
