Thank for bringing awareness.
Trump's regime, backed by House Repubs & Musk’s Doge, are carrying out an attack on the Endangered Species Act (ESA) & fed wildlife agencies that, if successful, will almost certainly drive numerous species into extinction.

We’re only two months in, & they’re cancelling research into pediatric brain cancer. They’re deporting US kids with brain cancer. They’re putting millions at risk of malaria, TB, & polio.
I for one will never forgive or forget those who said ‘it won’t be that bad’.

So much for Government Efficiency...
USAID was buying $2 billion in crops from U.S. farmers. Now it’s gone. But sure, blame immigrants and not Felon47.

Folks, our Democracy is being choked out. Are you paying attention?
Trump just terminated the Chair of the Kennedy Center and has installed himself as the new chair.
He says he will now be dictating the institution’s “art and culture” and says it “must reflect” what he chooses.
