I’ll even donate! Public libraries are crucial institutions

You know how during an election we always say "if you're in line, STAY IN LINE"?

Here's the new version:
If you're in a federal job, STAY IN YOUR FEDERAL JOB.

Don't quit. That's obeying in advance. Make them fire you. Then sue them to stop it.
