“Death panels for rural America”
To be clear, Donald Trump and Elon Musk are instituting death panels for rural America. That’s what closing federally qualified health centers means, since they are often the only health providers available. bsky.app/profile/chan...
Donald Trump and Elon Musk have cut off funding for half of the health centers that serve 400,000 Virginians, forcing some to close, which could mean up to 200,000 Virginians are suddenly without healthcare

Ask yourself what you’d think about another country if a new regime quickly prohibited all government agencies from communicating with the public, then began deleting data from government websites that it deemed unacceptable.
FYI if you are looking for the Dec. 2024 AFFHT-0007 dataset from the Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (which has apparently been deleted by the Trump administration) I've got the nationwide backup on my hard drive.

At this point it should be incredibly obvious that the new presidential administration is obsessed with trans people and genitals and could truly give a flying fuck about the economy or whether anyone's children will live to adulthood
And the press should report on them like they are fucking creeps

The Trump Administration’s action to suspend all federal grants & loans will have a devastating impact on the health and well-being of millions of children, seniors on fixed incomes, and the most vulnerable people in our country.
It is a dangerous move towards authoritarianism.
