I do not have any words for what is happening today at the Department of Health and Human Services. It is a tragedy from the personal to the societal levels.

It is so hard to absorb and believe. I worked for 20 years in healthcare and its so clear how this is going to set us back in ways we may never recover from.
Imagine if RFK had won the election. As it is he split the vote in key states and put Trump in power. Never forget that Trump didn't win a majority of the electorate. He won the electoral college by slim margins, He has no real mandate. And the cuts to research to fund tax cuts is tragic.
I'm on a text thread with some public health friends. It's 💔 We are so screwed. I've got in-laws who fell for the MAHA crap and voted for this. They have no idea they've forfeited our collective future...just cheering for destruction. I'm so angry & so sad. I'm 64 - we won't recover in my lifetime.
Until they do, right? A MAHA family member doesn’t realize research cuts may impact his Parkinson’s treatment options. They do, however, understand damage when it hits the stock market and their pocketbook.
Yeah, what's up with them? How are they so so so quiet? Where is Kamala? She is a lawyer, she should be leading all this
But I'm glad to hear that you're fighting. Do not give up, it will be so much harder later
Not sure how much is getting through, but essentially this administration is calling anyone in judiciary that goes against them "radicals" and ignoring the law. Republicans own the legislature, and our highest court was stocked during the last Trmp admin. It's really bad.
Weekly is not enough then. Look at the tiny country of Georgia, 130 days of protests. Look at South Korea, they impeached their nofo
You need to do more
I’m going to try to not lose my shit on you. This is the least helpful post directed at someone who is working daily as both a director of a small public health non-profit, an elected official, and a very active participant in trying to keep her country from falling apart.
Me? I'm nobody. How about you lose that shit on your orange godzilla? That might do something
I get it. You're busy, but you have to remember that it will only get harder, do not take your time, lose your shit in the right direction
It is not helpful to accuse people you don't know of doing nothing. I suggest you direct your rage about this situation in a useful place and not at the people who are working hard to keep it together under terrible circumstances.
