Screw them and hold on to your job for as long and as hard as you can.

Sure one person fighting is nothing to a billionaire … but a few thousand employees taking the government to court for this stupidity will definitely affect the billionaire.

Authoritarianism wins as soon as we all just give up and allow them to take control.

The reality of living in this country is a factor. Not everyone is in a position financially to quit their job and probably blacklisted from their industry.

We do not have an adequate social safety net in this country. To be able to make principled stands without having to worry about your future prospects, you’d have to be independently wealthy, like the fuckers doing this shit.

Over a quarter of this country lives paycheck to paycheck now, that will include a lot of federal employees.

This just means you don’t stand for anything but your address.
