Now CDC
From a journalist friend: Just spreading the word. The CDC is purging data, so people should archive their favorite CDC datasets today, namely ones around race/ethnic diversity, LGBTQ, and reproductive health. Also health data involving climate. The youth risk behavior survey has already gone down.

Why is the federal government blowing over $800K on a huge military plane to deport just 79 immigrants to Guatemala, when a regular flight used to cost us $100K?
It’s all for show! And the truth—they weren’t rapists, murderers, or criminals.

I don’t think this will cut $2,000,000,000,000 from the budget. 👀
Taxing scholarships? Who gets those? Probably not many rich kids. 👀
Single parents? Who comprise most single parent households? Uh. That would be women. 👀
Raising taxes on homeowners? We already pay enough. 👀
Heartbreaking. 🖕
