Tragedy in the Potomac. A mid-air collision between a commuter plane and a military helicopter claimed 67 lives. Instead of focusing on facts, the president blamed DEIโwithout evidence. The NTSB is investigating. Letโs wait for answers, not propaganda. #AviationSafety #PotomacCrash

I was thinking about this very thing as I showered this morning. So many people are so terrified of this damned administrations aggressive efforts to dismantle all the civil rights such as same sex marriages and contraception. We must continue to fight back to protect our friends and family members.

๐ข TN bill criminalizes local officials opposing Trumpโs immigration policies: up to 6 years in prison & $3K fine. Raises concerns about legislative immunity, First Amendment, separation of powers & due process. Bipartisan opposition grows. #DemocracyMatters #ConstitutionalRights

The EEOC is in crisis after the president removed 2 Democratic commissioners, crippling its ability to address workplace discrimination. Project 2025 aims to weaken civil rights enforcement, putting marginalized groups at risk. Call your repsโfight to protect justice! #CivilRights #EEOC #Project2025

I simply don't understand why they don't want to help people hear the messages coming from the office of the president. It makes no sense at all. Of course, not of it does.๐คฆโโ๏ธ

Medicaid portals went down across the country yesterday. The White House claims they will be back on soon & Medicaid payments aren't affected. It appears that Medicaid portal access has been restored but there are ongoing issues that are concerning such as slow response times. #MedicaidPortal

Rolling back DEI programs could undermine the protections for students with disabilities like those with IEPs. Reduced oversight & funding, decreased services, & weakened protections may limit access to essential support. We must advocate for inclusive education. #DisabilityRights #DEI

The new president signed 35 executive orders in his first week back in office, addressing FEMA, DEI, & abortion. This is a stark contrast to his first administration, where he ended his first week with just four executive orders. Sixty six percent came from Project 2025.

I have always respected an individual's abortion choice. With Roe v. Wade's overturning & Project 2025โs policies like the Global Gag Rule & Title X changes, reproductive rights are at risk. Support organizations, stay informed & contact reps to defend these rights. #ReproductiveRights #ProChoice

Policy changes removed ASL interpreters from White House communications, impacting accessibility for the deaf community. Project 2025 proposals could cut disability services, funding for specialized institutions, & weaken civil rights protections, affecting education & employment for the disabled.

The new admin's freeze on NIH communications has impacted my daughter's research team. Project 2025's policies could privatize Medicare/Medicaid, cut research funding, & withdraw from WHO, raising health care costs & reducing access. #HealthCareForAll #ResearchMatters #GlobalHealth #Project2025

The new president's directive to put all federal DEI staff on leave threatens representation and fairness. Project 2025 aims to remove DEI initiatives, risking marginalized groups' progress. Can we move forward without inclusion? #Project2025 #DEI #Democracy #EquityForAll #InclusionMatters

On Day 2, President Trump rescinded Biden's drug cost reductions for Medicare and Medicaid. Biden's plan aimed to cap insulin costs and negotiate high-priced drugs. This rollback may lead to higher costs for seniors and Medicaid users. Pharma is pushing for changes to the Inflation Reduction Act.

My thoughts today
"For all my at risk friends and family. I strongly encourage you to join the ACLU or another comparable organization to help uphold the rights of those at risk from this new administration."
