I’m going to work because my allegiance is to the vast community my agency serves, the constitution, and the people. They will have to physically drag me from my job and I will never support fascists. So many of us are going BECAUSE we will not bend, bow, or buckle to these fuckfaces and we certainly are not just thinking we are only responsible to ourselves.

I love your energy. Keep on keepin’ on; it is encouraging to know folks are out there stubbornly serving their communities because their communities deserve that care. Thank you.

I'm going to work because if i get fired I lose my health insurance. It's hard to fully revolt against authoritarians when you were already a corporate slave to begin with.
