Dr. Ginexi's latest blog states, "Constraint is not the same as consent." My colleagues and I move things. Maybe we move differently from before. Maybe we communicate differently. Please consider our safety. Keep talking with us. #NIHStrong #FEDstrong
The #NIH is awesome. We're proud to work with @jenna-m-norton.bsky.social . #BethesdaDeclaration #strongertogether #fedstrong #NIHStrong
It's bad for the employees still working at the IRS. It's worse for the former employees who took the Deferred Resignation Program, created by the DOGE-BAGS. Very few have gotten paid.
Filing season will be a mess.

And she serves her country with distinction. If that is not the very definition of loving the USA, I dont.know what is.

Since January, I've questioned my purpose. Then I talk with PIs like @sdukehan.bsky.social , and I remember. Then I collaborate with #BethesdaDeclaration people like @jenna-m-norton.bsky.social , and I know it's hard but worth it. We make America great. #NIHStrong #FEDStrong #ClinSTAR2025
Picture is a screenshot of an instagram post by an account called "Lego Park Ranger". It shows an image of a little lego room on a yellow background. A lego figure trying to put green pants on. PJs lay discarded on the floor, and a ranger flat hat is on the bed. A poster on the wall of lego Rosie the Riveter says, We Can Do It. The caption reads: Here's to all the Park Rangers waking up this morning to find that your uniform pants have inexplicably shrunk in the last 43 days. May this be the only surprise you find today as you finally get back to work!
Welp, reporting back for duty at the ranger station (if the pants still fit).
Things have been odd & hard these last 43 days: some rangers working w/ pay, some w/o pay, and some w/ no work & no pay. We’re happy to have folks earning a paycheck and getting SNAP benefits again.

Coming back today has been rough. Let us breathe through this back log. Thanks for sticking with us. #FEDStrong

Bringing it back: Wear Green Wednesdays (or, hell, every day). 💚
That small but powerful signal — we’re in this together.
Remember when Deb Houry showed up in green at that all-hands? 👀

🧵1/ Back in the office after shutdown fizzled — thanks to Dem fold.
We’re not the same feds we were 43 days ago
& we're not resigned to defeat
We are:
🤬Mad as hell🤬
Still believe in truth, science & raising hell for the public good.
We serve the people ✊ #FedStrong
@fedsagainstdoge.bsky.social
Feds back to work and fissures in the GOP. I know we are all tired, but now that we're headed back, it's back to rise n resist. Can't wait to throw more sand in the wheels. Goodnight! ✊

We didn't treat this shutdown like a vacation. It was an important period to reflect on the needs of people. Food, shelter, and water are necessary components of health, and @27unihted.bsky.social members know that just because you're not on duty, health is always the mission. #NIHStrong #FEDStrong
📢 Feds and US Active Duty in MoCo! Your child may bring home the Federal Impact Aid Survey. Fill it out because #MCPS you might need as a result of the furlough. @willjawando.bsky.social & @evanmglass.bsky.social , will you boost? Thank you both for serving MoCo. #FEDStrong
As many of you know, more than one million federal employees have been furloughed since October 1, 2025. However, we never stop serving the people, near and far. @27unihted.bsky.social has collected 2,000 pounds of food and $20,000 for DC area food banks. #FEDStrong #NIHStrong

Great resource, thanks for the alert, @johnsonll.bsky.social. Information here on energy assistance, food assistance, and insurance assistance. #furlough #shutdown #FEDStrong
Do we still have a House of Reps? Asking for a country… 🫠
Must be nice getting a 6 week paid vacation while fed workers go without pay 💀

Cartoon by Teresa Burns Parkhurst from MAD Magazine. A parent stands talking to a teenager sitting on a couch while another adult sits nearby looking worried. The caption reads: “Listen, we KNOW your dream is to be a federal government employee, we’re just asking you to consider a career with more job security, like a street performer, or a poet.”
I think this cartoon was circa Trump admin #1 - and even more painfully accurate today.
We’re proud of what we do at CDC. Proud to serve. Proud to be #FedStrong 💚
But for tonight’s lighter question:
If you weren’t in public health… what would your other dream job be? 🎭📚🎨

Public tag of Jayanta Bhattacharya to join in community service
3. We civil servants never pause to serve our country in any capacity. Our commitment to helping others is what makes American great. I hope he reached out to us and joins us in a day of unofficial #NIH service. #NIHStrong #FEDStrong
NIH employees with Rob Scheer at Comfort Cases.
#NIH had another unofficial Montgomery County Day of Service. Today, we volunteered with @comfortcases.bsky.social. @robscheer.bsky.social has been a lifelong public servant to our country. Thank you, Angelika Stablow, for letting us prepare comfort cases with you. #FEDStrong #NIHStrong
Hi, Jay Bhattacharya and Sarah Crowell. We are following up on our email to you about our day of community service. We are proudly going to support Blue Star Families in the Maryland/DC/Virginia region, and we wanted to ensure you saw these emails inviting you to engage in community service with furloughed federal employees. In honor of Veterans' Day, Blue Star Families has said they will accommodate you with the option of November 12 or 13. We will participate in a Habitat for Humanities activity or providing meals to homeless US Armed Services Veterans. Will you attend with us? Please respond by Friday, October 31 so we may finalize details with them. We are so thrilled to honor those who have served in all military branches. Thank you to Blue Star Families for working with us!
So I just did this. I hope it works. I feel like a child who is begging a parent to come to a music recital. I've emailed Dr. Bhattacharya twice with no reply yet. I am looking forward to volunteering with @comfortcases.bsky.social tomorrow and Blue Star Families over Veterans' Day. #FEDStrong
I am neither a more skilled nor a more committed civil servant than those who were wrongfully terminated. Reinstate them. We have created more waste by firing them. #NIH #statssky #publichealthsky #FEDStrong

Good night, friends.
Thinking of everyone in the Caribbean facing Hurricane Melissa - we hope you and your loved ones all stay safe.

Massive thanks to our NOAA colleagues, literally flying into the eye of the storm, working without pay (‼️), because their expertise saves lives.

Civil servants recover food at Nourish Now
During the furlough, we've organized #FEDstrong days of service in our communities. Today, eight of us recovered food for Nourish Now. Last week at @nihvigils.bsky.social with @27unihted.bsky.social's leadership, the #NIH community donated more than 450 pounds of food to Manna Food Bank.
Dear Statisticians, Survey Methodologists, Data Engineers, Data Scientists, Dashboard Creators, and Other Data Enthusiasts - Your worth is not tied up in just your ability to code or use software. Your worth is not tied up in just your deep expertise in a single area. Your worth is not tied up in just your ability to tell a story. Your worth is not tied up in just the speed you can produce output. Your worth is not tied up in just your ability to automate. Your worth is a product in all of these things along with your ability to be creative, to communicate, to work well with others, to be enthusiastic, to have a desire to grow at all skill levels and stages.
This is from my #hpss colleague and friend, @drjasonbrinkley.bsky.social . I remind you that your value as a human being is not tied to your employment history, your salary, or your organization. #srms #statssky #CDC #HHSStrong #FEDStrong
So - #Feds -
What services, other than pay, are you unable to access during the #GOPShitdown that impact you most?
Are you noticing cuts that have not been a problem in past shutdowns?
