This list of downgraded professions obviously devalues what is already undervalued.

To all those who like to post, "I voted for this," they each deserve what will befall them. Nurses? Counselors, public health, SW, PT? How is that MAHA stuff going to work without these essential professionals?

Two completely different pieces of news today, but a common thread: a boastfully complicit president

This reminds me of a short piece I read a few years ago and hear sometimes in my head. Thank you for reminding me that it was there. Yes, sometimes it is a morning at a time, an evening at a time and remembering that everyone is going through something. Maybe not today, but nonetheless...

Aside from the fact that the page on "renovations" has little to do with the content they spitefully added, I thought I'd try to offer some help to the WH staff in charge of the edits and posted these (I'm afraid I dozed off after, although there's plenty more to say):

With the backlash reported here in Canada about the abrupt end of trade discussions, I am reminded of the inappropriate and super white DOL ads from the US. In the comments are examples from the last months of the Biden Administration.

I genuinely believe this is the most important thing you can read today and consider. It is long, and lots of other stories compete for or attention daily. Yet in this Tonoccus McClain articulates what so many of us have been trying to eep up with and wrap our heads around.

(Never forget that there are those who *just don’t know* that they don’t know, although it may be that some are open to learning.

Then there are those who *know they don’t know*. This is where you can count on learning happening. That self awareness changes everything.)

Unlike prices, which cannot actually go down by 200%, illnesses like whooping cough *can* go up y 200%.

So much winning... 🤔
