A wildlife conservation worker photographed on the job in a boggy wetland gestures with a “thumbs up.”
Today I was fired from my permanent Kauai NWR Complex Biologist position with no warning, locked out of my email by 3pm on the same day I barely had time to get the documents I need to file for unemployment. This is coming directly from the Trump administration and is likely illegal but somehow has not been stopped. Three of my amazing co-workers were also fired; the critical skilled biologists and habitat restoration experts, who are in the field day in and day out, pouring their blood, sweat and tears into conserving native Hawaiian birds and habitats. This was not just a job for us, this was our everything, caring for the aina. For me it was the dream job of all dream jobs. I have no idea what I'll do now, I thought I would be in that position for a very long time. I even bought a horse in December with the notion of a permanent, salaried position.
I really have no words right now; we are literally watching our democracy slip away from us. Now is not the time to sit back and "wait and see". I gave an oath of office on my first day that I would defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. How is this not a domestic enemy?! These billionaires have so much money they have everything they could ever want and more .... this is literally just Hunger Games or Squid Games. It's just little chess pieces, some funny little game to them. There Is going to be nothing left of this country by the end of the week. It's time we stand up, before it's too late.
