NEW: The Trump admin is considering destroying 160 million COVID tests, worth half a billion dollars. This would be a horrible waste. COVID is still around, and causes high levels of illness and deaths throughout the year. Tests are expensive. The government should send them to people for free.

The “it’s just a flu!” COVID minimizing language has made people downplay the risks of COVID & forget how serious flu can be. After 5 years of COVID reinfections it’s hard to know if you’re “healthy” “I wasn’t aware that the flu virus could do something like this to a perfectly healthy child”

Humility is in order right now. No one knows what will make a difference. So do everything that you can to take some form of constructive action. 1000 people taking action is ALWAYS better than 1000 people doing nothing or 1000 people acting like East German figure skating judges.

This is exactly right. It didn't start with gas chambers. It started with laws slowly removing Jews from German society in 1933.

When the Nazis first came to power, within a few months, they raided the Institute for Sexuality which did the first studies of trans people. The books they seized were burned here, including a copy of Heinrich Heines poem that said, "where they burn books, they will ultimately burn people too."

If you’re a federal employee, you should know this is a lie. Congress hasn’t appropriated these monies and so it’s literally not there to be spent. Also, federal agencies are limited by law to a max $25K payout in the case of restructuring.
