"The #Trump administration terminated the entire staff who were running a $4.1 billion program to help low-income households across the United States pay their heating bills. It comes as the President has even put tariffs on a place that has no humans and only penguins."

"One employee warned that NIOSH laid off veterinarians despite the bureau having laboratory animals that need care. #CDC has also eliminated its entire Freedom of Information Act office, despite agencies being required by law to maintain FOIA functions."

How pseudo-science drives out science when powered by quasi-religious ideology? This is a very good long-read about the similarities between 1920’s #Lysenkoism and today’s #MAHA movement.

https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/make-america-healthy-again-the-new-lysenkoism/

On a personal note, in early 2000’s I got interested in #Marxism specifically through Lysenkoism - I simply couldn’t believe how apparently educated people could, for a quarter of century, aggressively push pseudo-scientific nonsense that visibly contradicted the physical, observed reality. This article explains very well how that happened, and how it’s happening again.

Science-Based Medicine · “Make America Healthy Again”: The new LysenkoismTrofim Lysenko was a Soviet scientist whose dogmatic science denialism led to mass famine when his ideas were applied to agriculture. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a lot like Lysenko in his science denial

“Without a dedicated agency to champion these programs, millions risk losing the oversight, funding and technical assistance for programs they rely on to live independently.

[The Philadelphia Inquirer]: Trump’s insane pardons are killing any faint flicker of justice in America. By Will Bunch.

Trump's pardons for big donors, political allies and even swindlers of the Sioux people have shattered any notion of justice.

When you hear “Make America Healthy Again” ask yourself this… healthy for whom? When was America healthy?

It’s not about health. It’s about thinning the herd. Culling the weak.

It’s about assigning blame to people with chronic illness & pushing health supremacy.

It’s straight from the Nazi playbook.

"the whole "MAHA mom" phenomenon is deeply sexist...

Despite all the talk about "toxins," there is not a whiff of... fighting against the #Trump admn's plans to dump increasing amounts of very real #pollution into the #environment. Instead, #women are told to focus their energies on the domestic sphere... giving up hopes of having a #career or even much of a life outside of the home"

Text and pull-quote from article: Text: As Thomas Edsall of the New York Times reported Tuesday, despite Kennedy and Trump's rhetoric about keeping "our children healthy and strong," the administration's policies serve the opposite goal. The administration is rolling back decades of environmental protections that protect children from pollution exposure that is known to cause everything from asthma to cancer. As one expert told Edsall, "It is hard to imagine a more sweeping agenda to make Americans less healthy." Pull quote: The whole "MAHA mom" phenomenon is deeply sexist, and part of the larger MAGA agenda of getting women out of the workplace and back, quite literally, into the kitchen. Text: This is where the "MAHA mom" concept kicks in. Despite all the talk about "toxins," there is not a whiff of energy in the "MAHA mom" movement towards fighting against the Trump administration's plans to dump increasing amounts of very real pollution into the environment. Instead, women are told to focus their energies on the domestic sphere, to shield their own children from threats, many of them imaginary. And wouldn't you know it, but the prescribed way to "protect" children just so happens to be giving up hopes of having a career or even much of a life outside of the home, so that women can dedicate themselves full-time to elaborate food preparation and home remedy routines for the inevitable old-timey diseases kids get when you refuse to vaccinate them.

Amanda Marcotte on the sexism fueling #RFK's absurdly named #MAHA "wellness movement" (& watch Apple Cider Vinegar on #Netflix!).

"You don't need to have kids to spot the mother-guilt going on. The implicit message is that kids with "good" mothers—defined as women who spend every waking moment preparing food & encouraging children to exercise—don't get sick. If your kid does get very ill from a disease like the measles, then it's probably b/c you were lazy, moms."

Long Covid research funding and grants terminated by Trump regime. They’ve declared them a “waste of time” because the pandemic is over:

“HHS is prioritizing funding projects that will deliver on President Trump’s mandate to address our chronic disease epidemic and Make America Healthy Again.”

400 million people have Long COVID. They’re suffering in silence with little hope of treatment and/or cures.

If HHS and Trump were actually interested in addressing the chronic disease epidemic, they would care about long COVID. They would try and reduce the spread of COVID.

When you hear “Make America Healthy Again” please consider HOW they plan to do that.

We’ve seen zero evidence that they will actually help those with chronic illness.

Fascists target the disabled. The Nazis literally tested the gas chambers on us. We are almost always first.

Perhaps they’re ending the chronic illness epidemic by ending the chronically ill? Don’t provide research, care, funding or treatment and the problem “goes away”?

Get loud. Call your elected officials. Tell them Covid is not over.

people not on the bird app are missing out on a war between #MAHA conspiracy theorists who want to ban people from using food stamps to buy sugary sodas and various #MAGA megaphones who got paid by "Big Soda" to say that being able to use food stamps to buy sugary soda is a core constitutional liberty issue (there are no good guys here).
