This is Eric.

Until last Friday, Eric was a Wildlands firefighter working in the national parks service. He spent last summer fighting the Wildfires in California. And last Friday he got deleted.

Why? Because of his title, which was "Natural Scientist" he was put on probation and removed even though up until then, he had excellent reviews.

Now he was protesting in #chicago, because #DOGE and #Musk took his career from him.

He put his life in the line for Americans fighting fires near #SiliconValley, and this is how they repay him.

When your moderate or under informed friends and family talk about who DOGE is cutting, this is who they are cutting, show them Eric. Tell them his story.
