Reparations? In this economy? Yes, in fact, and now more than ever. Here's the latest from me on why it's critical we don't let the chaos of this political moment cause us to lose sight of our commitments to equity ✊🏾

Fear and cruelty are their goals. It is dangerous to keep treating this administration as legitimate. This is tyranny.

The "why's" are important here: Trump's attacking equity to make it harder to hold the government & corporations accountable for the harm they do, particularly to communities of color.
But don't get it twisted, these actions make us all sicker and less economically secure 😷📉

Epidemics do not stay localized to minorities, immigrants, or the poor; it is in the interest of the entire country to take health equity seriously, says EPI's @kdoc-writes.bsky.social:

These attacks on HHS make it harder to protect workers and their families, and to hold corporations accountable (that's the point!). They're also making us more vulnerable to the next public health and economic crises 📉😷

What do you get when thousands of federal workers are laid off, millions of borrowers' credit scores drop 100s of points, and billions of dollars of federal funding evaporates over the course of a few months? Idk, but I bet it starts with an 'R'

Remote work doesn't thwart productivity. It boosts focus.
Government workers are 12% more productive when randomly assigned to work from home. They're more efficient where it's quiet.
Most people aren't shirking from home. They're escaping distractions and long commutes.

What he actually wants is for Black children (and adults) to turn off their pain receptors for injustice, so he doesn't have to hear them complaining about it.
Nah.
Stay sensitive to racism, it doesn't have to be inevitable. Calling it out is how we remove racists from the power structure

Trump HHS nominee RFK Jr.:
If you give Black children “resilience” then “the inevitable racism” will “bounce off” them like they are “the Avengers” because “they will be immune to it” and “then we don’t have to stop racism altogether, because we’re never going to be able to do that.”

"Kennedy has articulated a vision that will, if enacted, lead to the deaths of untold numbers of people, many of whom have not even been born. It's difficult to overstate the long-term danger he poses."
