Is it okay to continue to work for a (non-defense) federal government agency under an administration hostile to my own moral and ethical beliefs?

The first Trump presidency is known for the longest government shutdown in US history.

Job stability is not a given for federal employment anymore.

Other than that, I would say non-defense jobs are certainly worth maintaining institutional knowledge.

So long as you have some savings, a government shutdown is more a vacation than anything. Back pay has always been given to employees.

I would not be surprised if this was repealed (if only as an effort to further purge government employees):

Prior to this, my understanding is that back pay was given in good faith, not by actual requirements.
