I also spoke to Kevon Dupree from @dcnewsnow.bsky.social about it. m.youtube.com/watch?v=L5wj...

Whichever person or dept
( @mocoboe.bsky.social - ??) was in charge of this needs to be terminated immediately.

It seems MCPS didn’t sweep this one under the rug far enough.

I’m more inclined to call them assholes, but we can go with eugenicists too.

Please share this. Not many people know about this & are only focusing on cuts to things like cancer research (which is also egregious), but this is important too & will have lasting ramifications for future generations.

They are destroying lives, both directly & indirectly, wrecking havoc doing what they want with no research or information to guide its decisions & leaving a path of destruction in its wake.

A short article that references what I’m talking about:

This is an egregious overstep. Not only is the research & data extremely important, but it’s Congressionally mandated so once again this administration is breaking the rules of our country & going against Congressional mandates.

Here’s an example of one of the annual reports: samhsa.gov/data/sites/def…

It’s 146 pgs.
One of the authors is a dear friend of mine. His entire team was eliminated. Click the report link, read the first paragraph w the acknowledgments- not a single person in the list is left.

6/

I CANNOT fathom the reasoning to cut this, except bc the current administration has no idea what it is, and is ignorant to what the data means, or how important it is. And so here we are with one of nation’s most important research team thrown in the trash.

5/

The dedicated scientists working on it had to work very hard to complete it & understand how to appropriately & ethically manage it bc it’s so comprehensive & complicated.

4/

It is actually a Congressionally mandated annual report & the only report of its kind done in the US. All major universities & researchers use it regularly.

The NSDUH is an incredibly comprehensive & difficult data set to work with.

3/

An entire team at the Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) was terminated as part of the RIFs. This was the team working on The National Survey on Drug Use & Health.

It’s the only national survey focusing specifically on drug use & mental health.

🏈Saved the lives of 25M children suffering from severe malaria. (This one has value on its own, but apparently Musk disagrees.)

This Superbowl Sunday, tell Congress to #saveforeignaid and #standwithUSAID

End

🏈Protected 30M football fields worth of tropical forest in Africa, preventing 🇨🇳 & 🇷🇺 from exploiting timber & critical minerals that fuel our world

🏈Shipped 29K metric tons of American food products worth $40M on US ships instead of letting it waste away in a TX warehouse

4/

🏈Bought enough emergency food-aid products made in Georgia and Rhode Island to treat 880,000 severely malnourished children

🏈Slowed the flow of migrants to our borders by providing job training and support to 50,000 people in Central America

3/

🏈Purchased life-saving HIV treatment from American pharmaceutical companies to keep 1,060,000 million people alive for one year

🏈Bought 29K tons of produce and vegetable oil from American farmers to feed people, reducing mass migration

* I should point out I am talking about DJT here and not Lee Greenwood (though he is a giant douche)

And if he was any kind of real Christian, he’d take 100% of the proceeds of this “limited edition, only 5000 copies Bible” and donate it to a Christian charity. But he won’t. That’s not the plan.
Disgusting & self-serving are 2 of his calling cards & this proves it once again
