Robert F. Kennedy, Jr has been planted by Trump in the role of Secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Services.
He wants to slash scientifically-established medication, hospital treatment, financial benefits, and government programs for people with these conditions:
- Chronic illness.
- Autism.
- ADHD, and medication including Adderall and Ritalin.
- Asthma.
- Obesity.
- Multiple sclerosis.
- Psoriasis.
- Mental illness such as depression and anxiety, and SSRI medication including Prozac and Zoloft.
RFK Jr says wants people who live with chronic illness such as those listed above — who often require daily preventative medication, a professional carer/assistant, or an assistive device for their daily functioning and to maintain their quality of life and sense of dignity and autonomy — to be stripped of their treatment and put into in "Wellness Farms" for "three or four years if they need it".
This is the sort of inhumane mistreatment of people requiring medical care that happened in the USSR and still goes on today in North Korea. It should not happen in the USA.
This move by RFK Jr is going to destroy childhoods, ruin families, cause people financial ruin, and for some people it will cost them their life.

Before 1973, U.S. newspapers used to carry ads, "Help Wanted: Male" and "Help Wanted: Female."
Until 1968, it was legal to refuse to sell a house to someone based on their ethnic heritage.
This isn't ancient history. And this is what they're rolling back.

Yet what he's responsible for now is exactly having "Project 2025"'s subversive plot to sabotage U.S. government put into practice.
Firing the aspiring fascist Trump regime & its conspiring subversive bastards of the people's democracy, before they can inflict even more damage on the nation, government & country is who now?
Public servants & the sovereign of all government, the people.

Well, the current US administration is doing everything to go down in history as the most evil genocidal regime ever in US history.
Not sure how to call this, would neoliberal capitalist oligarchic fascism with at touch of imperialism be.a term for it? Or is Trump simply using Putin's playbook.
More and more I get the idea they need to be stopped short violently...

Trump is impounding money PLUS closing agencies w/o telling anyone where future taxes from citizens will be spent.
W/O guardrails, future #tax #revenue will go directly to #Trump's #pocket. No other reason to decimate agencies.

Trump-Musk Scandal at USAID Takes Unnerving Turn With Vile Leaked Memo
Can Trump and his top advisers really just act with total impunity? Or is there, just maybe, a price to be paid for starving poor people and un-indicting a corrupt mayor?The New Republic
Yet the memo also shows that USAID leaks are infuriating #Trump officials precisely because they are exposing the horrifying consequences of the Trump-Musk efforts to cripple this agency."

I propose the following course of action:
We pick a specific target and trash its value.
- Do whatever we can to make it lose money, customers, resources, employees, reputation.
- Do our best to make it toxic waste that investors won't touch.
- We make it easy for anyone to join the carnage.
- We keep hammering it until it dies or we get protections
Then we collectively pick another target and do it again.
And again.
Until the dying screams of US corporations reach the ears of those with the power to call off the attacks on women, minorities, LGBTQ+ people, disabled people, and everyone else this administration is going after.
When they stop, we stop, negotiate, and stand ready to start again if they don't follow through.
