I saw someone else's version of this list without alt text. Every community includes low vision, blind, and otherwise disabled folks who make extensive use of screen readers, so I've created a revised version that includes alt text.

Our fears are justified.

Alt text: bit.ly/theywilltry
(white non-seraphed text on a square black background, with list items in two columns (A link to GDoc with the text of the list - bit.ly/theywilltry - is added at the end of the list.) What we think Trump & Vance will try to do End programs that authorize immigrants' rights to live and work in the US Orchestrate a program of mass detention and deportation of immigrants End birthright citizenship Implement a national "backdoor ban' on abortion - without Congress - and jail health care providers Pack the Supreme Court with young MAGA extremists End climate protections and gut clean energy programs Discontinue any student debt payment relief Replace non-partisan government employees - career civil servants - with politically appointed Trump loyalists Pardon violent January 6 criminal insurrectionists Abolish the Department of Education Force state to report women's miscarriages and abortions to Trump's federal government Repeal protections for LGBTQ+ Americans Reinstate Trump's ban on transgender members of the military and discharge transgender service members Cut taxes for the ultra wealthy Increase taxes for middle-class families Implement and expand book bans Revive plans to drill for oil in Alaska End support for Ukraine Gut Medicare and Social Security Eliminate union and worker protections Reinstate and expand Trump's Muslim ban Withdraw from the Paris C;imate Agreement Withdraw from NATO End the independence of the Department of Justice and FBI Turn the Department of Justice and the FTI into enforcement arms of the White House Seek ways to demote or fire independent Fed chair Colin Powell Prioritize big pharma over people by discontinuing plans to permit Medicare to negotiate for lower prices Ban abortion medication Restrict access to contraception Replace climate advisors with fossil fuel lobbyists Reduce or remove regulations that support clean air and water Weaken environmental protections across the board alt-text: bit.ly/theywilltry

Western Alaska was hit hard by the recent storms. Houses floated away in Kipnuk, houses flipped over, people lost everything from the flooding that came with the storms. Please donate if you can. This group has a long history of supporting AK communities.

In a proof-of-concept study, EpiSwitch®CFS blood test (3D DNA folding patterns) identified severe ME/CFS (vs healthy controls) with 96% accuracy. buff.ly/EyzOq11

Immune and inflammation pathways (e.g. IL-2, TNF) are key.

Larger studies on other inflammatory diseases are needed.

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

Trump govt did not reverse these firings out of goodness or self-owning a "mistake." They would have been happy to get away with it. This reversal is the result of strong opposition. We undercut our own power when we give them the credit. Resistance matters. And remaining cuts are still devastating.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Context: Kipnuk, a Yup'ik village near Bering Sea in SW Alaska, was hit with a massive storm and flooding last August, too. Last spring, it won a $20M grant for erosion control.

The GOP's Bugly Bill killed the grant program, which allocated 2.8B to communities hardest hit by climate change.

It would be interesting for someone to run for US president on the platform of firing every one hired to work for ICE over the past 4 years. Firing all of them on day 1.
