@capitalb.news: For three Black women laid off amid the Trump administration’s DOGE cuts, losing their federal jobs meant losing financial security, a sense of purpose, and difficult questions about their futures. Darnese Foster, Sharon Davis, and Darlene Tart-Scott share the human cost of the federal layoffs and what it takes to rebuild their lives.
Laid off from my engineering job in May 2025 used all my 401K by January 2026 , got my masters in engineering, I am trying to take care of me and my 2 kids , been on hundreds of interviews they will not hire me. All I can get is substitute teaching job. I just started that last month. All I think about is my mortgage ! I don’t want to move but I have to get a second job that goes with my kids school schedule or something. I pray it gets better for all of us because this did something to my mental health

It still puzzles me why Elon musk could change and layoff and fire thousands of people not being a citizen of this country, have access to all of our personal information and make so much personal money from doing it and not being able to vote! Please make that make sense.

Laid off April 1, 2025. Took me 14 months to get a job but God kept me through it all. He prepared me for that “rainy day”.

After 17 years at my agency, I was DOGE'd in June 2025; luckily, I had savings, so I took some time off to mentally recover. I applied for unemployment and lived well below my means, but I'm grateful that I started working again in June 2026. Prayers, not losing my faith, and my tribe helped me get through this difficult period. Sending healing vibes to all who were impacted 🙏🏾
