Further, how can you claim to be a public intellectual and call for the proscription of a political ideal? There's no antifa registry. You either work against nazis or you don't.

Smallpox killed over half a billion people in the 20th century alone. On 8 May 1980, the WHO announced its eradication, which was achieved through #vaccines, surveillance, and containment.

Medicaid didn't go offline because it was too "woke."
School lunch programs weren't put at risk because of immigrants.
Funding for cancer research wasn't on the chopping block because of trans people.
All of this (and more) was jeopardized because of one person: Donald Trump.

Trump's spending freeze was unconstitutional and a violation of the Impoundment Control Act.
But the public uproar yesterday should serve as a reminder that Trump's plans to gut federal programs are deeply unpopular.
