I'm an atheist scientist; people wonder how I can be partners with a Christian pastor. We share core values: food, shelter, health care & respect for all. That the people in power right now don't have common ground with either of us on ONE of those values shows how extreme & out of touch they are.

For Natives in more rural areas, there are food distribution centers for commodities which low-income Natives rely on because they are situated in food deserts. These centers will also NOT be distributing food, so this isn't just a scatter of individuals in need but entire communities.

First, they said postponed; now the meeting is canceled. That means no flu shots next year.
“'It’s a six-month production cycle,' Dr. Offit said. 'So one can only assume that we’re not picking flu strains this year.'"
Fundamentally, that's a form of mass murder.

His administration is literally composed of men who beat and batter women.
Trump: "My administration will not stand by and watch men beat and batter female athletes. And it's gonna end, and it's ending right now, and nobody is gonna be able to do a damn thing about it, because when I speak, we speak with authority."

On a high-level advisory committee I have worked on for over a decade, two of our 18 members had close family members (spouse, parent) in hospice during the meeting this week. We can't pretend things are "normal" without making our normal levels of grace much higher.
