Sexual assault is the most silent #epidemic & an ultimate betrayal. It is normalized but many of us are working around the clock to change this culture. You can check out my #MsMagazine piece below.

They are, and I’m so sorry! I got fired for telling my story to the press.

HHS guts sexual violence prevention division, leaving local efforts adrift The CDC teams that supported local sexual assault prevention groups were 'wiped out' in RFK Jr.'s overhaul of the Department of Health and Human Services.

#April is of #SexualAssaultAwarenesMonth and to “celebrate” the Department of Health & Human Services fired the teams that work on #sexualviolence prevention.

So, amid the HHS layoffs, the #sexualassault prevention division is completely gutted!

This breaks my heart. We fought so hard to get EPA to look at environmental justice issues in an area of Birmingham called Collegeville hit, faced, massive health challenges. I’m sure there are similar areas all across the country. archive.epa.gov/epa/north-bi...

What will happen w/the Equal Rights Amendment under Trump? After a decades-long fight, Biden “signed” the 28th amendment into law b4 lvg office. Under Trump,advocates say state ERAs may provide broader protections against fed policies targeting trans rights & immigration.

Recipient isn't giving in as Trump’s EPA tries to revoke climate grants “We have an obligation to fulfill” the grant agreement, Power Forward Communities CEO Tim Mayopoulos said in an interview with POLITICO.

“When the #EPA made a grant to us and grants to other awardees, there’s an official contract that the #government enters into. The agreement has not been terminated, and we have an obligation to fulfill it.” www.politico.com/news/2025/02... @lisasales.bsky.social

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

“Those nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.

Well said!
