At a time when some leaders are dismantling health equity work, I applaud the @who.int for this important report!

Unfortunately, I think it will take actually seeing shelves empty and other realities before people fight back. But keep in mind, they JUST made it illegal for people to speak out against this administration. (A political meme can land one in jail for a year.)

Honestly, I think most Americans are in disbelief. Literally half of them just lost agency over their bodies and haven’t had time to know what that really means, yet. Most Americans don’t have enough finances to get by each day, let alone a stock portfolio to see the impact there.

Thank you and I agree the global impact is staggering. This vapid Cheeto-In-Chief has kicked the dominoes of conflict off around the globe. Destabilizing everything everywhere all at once. I grieve not only for US Citizens but for the millions of others whose societies are also being destabilized.

Be thankful you aren’t an American living under those bat shit crazy policies and tyranny. Watching your life work go down the drain, your government be disassembled faster than a season of the Apprentice and your ability to survive go with it, all the while knowing, no one is coming to save them.

“I think this says that they will not tolerate us being active participants in our democracy—they want an autocracy,” Emily Feiner told Mother Jones.

Trump plan to cut income tax for those making under $200,000 a year would cost the VI $125M annually President Donald Trump’s plan to use tariff revenues to fund tax cuts would cost Virgin Islands $125 million annually; BIR director doubtful Congress would approve.

#USTerritories have been an afterthought for multiple administrations (Dem & Rep). This move (& others) will decimate what are already fragile systems. Why should any US territory continue to honor what has been for decades, a one-sided relationship with the USA? #USVI #PuertoRico #Independence

The moment YOU decide what I can/cannot do with my body… is the moment YOU authorize ME to make decisions about YOUR body.

If you don’t agree to that - then keep your values off my property.

Asking for a friend…
“How fast would we see significant change, if everyone (individuals and businesses) just stopped paying any and all Ta_xes until we the people who fund it - get our functioning government back?”

Millions in the U.S. take this drug. Tariffs might complicate their care. Heparin is cheap and essential to millions of hospitalized people. Tariffs could disrupt the supply chain that gets ingredients from China to their beds.

Does anyone even see these or am I posting to myself?

Maybe we could hide the books - IN libraries! After all, I think it’s safe to assume none of these twatwaffles actually has a library card.

My Dad used to say: “Everyone is entitled to their own stupid opinion.” I would like to add: “No one is entitled to mandate others adopt it. Maturity is learning how to thrive together despite it.”

It seems to me, we have forgotten the art of coexistence.
