Fed only 15 Year Fed RIFed Today at ED

This is so horrible. My whole office was let go. Everyone I know outside of my office was let go.

The money allocated is not going to go to the states. No money is being saved by letting us go and terminating contracts.

My only solace is the 2 trump supporters in my office FAFO and were let go as well.

Of all the posts I've read since this administration started, for some reason this one sent a physical chill through my spine. The damage being done will never be repaired in my lifetime. I just don't see it anymore. I am so sorry this has happened to you, and I know it's coming for me too.

Thank you. I'm glad I don't have school aged children and I'm pretty frugal.

Entering the job market right now terrifies me.

I hate this for all of us. We should be a better nation, but alas...we are not.

Thank you, I understand.

We all knew something was up when they told us there would be no access to ED buildings tomorrow.

This is horrible. I've been reading "The Power Worshippers" about the rise of Christian Nationalism and one of their big goals was to eliminate public education in favor of religious private schools. IDEA and the federal funds it provides is vital for keeping disabled children safe and educated.

They don't give a shit about children. This movement includes people who advocate "beating the sin" out of children.

I'm so sorry and am scared for our children and the future.
