Alt Text: To My Fellow HHS Colleagues Who Were Fully Separated Today — Myself Included: Chin up. Boots on. Let’s return the favor. If you got RIF’d today, you made it this far with your severance and your rights intact. They didn’t cut you loose — They let you off the leash. Ever seen a rottweiler finally break free of the yard?

Let’s move.

Powerful words from one of our dear HHS colleagues.

Let's move!💚✊
