I voted to reject RFK Jr.'s nomination to HHS.
I cannot in good conscience support someone who denies and will dilute our public health protections, sow distrust in science, and oversee massive cuts to health care programs for vulnerable Americans.

USAID’s website has been deleted, all that is left is a note saying all personnel are now on administrative leave and personnel outside the US are to be brought home. Completely illegal, no act of congress or even executive order was signed to dismantle the agency

it is honestly kind of striking to me that the founders were basically on target re: “things that could end our republic”

GOOD NEWS: A federal court temporarily halted President Trump's order to freeze all federal funding, including grants for public health, education, and safety.
Trump's order would have devastating consequences for communities in every corner of the nation. Our leaders must block it for good.

“I was just being myself” is not an excuse for disrespectful behavior. It signals a lack of concern for others.
Authenticity without empathy is selfish. Authenticity without boundaries is careless.
It’s good to be true to your values. It’s important to show regard for others’ values too.
