Curious what happened today to finally reach that point? Like why not every day since Jan 20? πŸ˜‚ Srsly though-what was the last straw?

Productivity loss due to childhood lead poisoning? +/- IQ loss from other toxicants like flame retardants? Can I do this remotely from New Zealand? πŸ˜ƒ Probably a bit much to ask 🫀

But what if you are a citizen? Because it sounds like citizens are being swept away along with everyone else. So is it any different?

Sorry if I’m being dense but trying to understand what exactly this means

So… it goes without saying that in another country the laws of that country apply to you there…right? But are they specifying that upon re-entry to the US that if you’ve been found to voice any dissent to 45’s agenda that the 1st and 4th amendments are not valid in customs entry areas?

But most the stories I’ve seen of non-US citizens being detained have all been crossing at the Mexico border. Maybe arriving by plane is not as risky

American in Ao/NZ here. I just booked a trip to see my family in the US in a couple months. I’m expecting this might be my last trip there. I don’t think I will ever be able to bring my kids for a visit anymore. If I wasn’t a US citizen I don’t think I would go there right now.

I hardly ever have people even mention it. If they ask I say I’m trying not to get sick, that my kids catch enough stuff on their own, I don’t need to add to it. And I’ve never had someone argue with that. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ Maybe I’m just lucky to not encounter many assholes.

My friend who works at a high school told me the lunch they got today was instant mashed potatoes. That’s it. Nothing at all mixed in or accompanying it.

Children with food insecurity are achieving up to 4 times behind children whose food in secure

So you say you want to increase our standing in school results both nationally and internationally? Then feed kids at school. Breakfast, lunch, good food in good amounts not scrimping+

Tiktok has bumped up major censorship since then though. Videos with big impact that aren’t kind to The Administration are promptly removed. Also you can’t even search his name. Results are blocked. And I’m not even in the US, I’m in NZ.

Companies quietly quitting climate schemes Air NZ made headlines by announcing it wouldn't meet its target, but it's not alone.

This is what happens when you have climate denial in Government.

As an American in NZ permanently, I’m obviously freaking out about US descent into fascism. But intensely focused on the risk to NZ. Today I learned about the T*ump efforts to spread their far right propaganda internationally and am even more concerned.

Yep. I applied for my NZ citizenship last night. I wasn’t in a hurry to do that until last week’s US news. Terrifying times.

This tells me the FDA is dead now. Pharmaceutical development will be massively impacted globally.

As soon as I saw the NIH news this morning I’ve been so paranoid about Pubmed. πŸ˜₯

That was fun to read, thanks for sharing. It’s nice to see something today that’s not adding to my anxiety.

Am I being paranoid or is there any risk to the continued existence of Pubmed??
