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.

"Amazing, jaw-dropping, frightening, cringe-inducing.... Leaders of the #Trump administration from VP #JDVance, Secretary of State #MarcoRubio, Defense Secretary #PeteHegseth, National Security Adviser #StephenWaltz, Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and close Trump advisers #SteveWitkoff and #StephenMiller (and others) set up a #Signal chat to discuss [bombing ...] #Yemen."

"...they added the Editor in Chief of @TheAtlantic #JeffreyGoldberg to the Signal group."

I wonder if the US thinks the other 5'I's countries are going to share intelligence after this security breach. It's about as secure as storing classified documents in a shower at Mar a Largo. The #Trump administration is degrading the US at every turn. Let's just hope they enjoy those tax cuts they were promised...

Canada: not boring.

"…Canada, which will hold a snap election next month, seems poised to deliver a huge setback to Donald Trump’s foreign ambitions, one that may inspire much of the world — including many people in the United States — to stand up to the MAGA power grab."
