It's totally understandable if you're dooming about any facet of the American experiment right now. So your feelings are "valid" in the sense that they represent real anxiety, and I get that. But to vent that anxiety in other people's spaces is wrong for three reasons.

Open up this picture fully.
Then look at the surface of Mars.
Then look up to the top right.
Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky.
Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos.
That's Earth.

Io - PJ57-23 - approximate true colors - From Simeon Schmauß (stim3on.bsky.social) - https://flic.kr/p/2ppYk8v
![JNCE_2023364_57C00022_V01
Capture time: 2023-12-30 08:37 UT
Height above surface: 2839.6 km
Jupiter's innermost moon Io as captured by the JunoCam instrument during Perijove 57.
The image is processed in approximate true color as the human eye would see it.
Using the spectral sensitivities of the RGB filters of the camera, the surface reflectance profile of Io (Karkoschka et. al 1995; Hapke et. al. 1989) and the CIE 1931 color matching functions, I computed a best effort color calibration matrix. A difficulty with JunoCam is that it's color filters/lenses have been altered from radiation, making the raw white-balance very inconsistent over time (bsky.app/profile/bjornjonsson.bsky.social/post/3lb4457uxm22t). I tried to account for this during processing, but the correction is only approximate.
This image was processed from the raw framelets. They were calibrated with custom python script and assembled in PTGui.

The Affordable Care Act created a marketplace where consumers could use subsidies to help purchase private-sector plans. Trump’s concept of a plan involves no such marketplace, plunging consumers into a state of nature.

The Trump administration will soon be releasing two Medicaid rules that would ban medicaid funding for gender affirming care for trans youth and any Medicaid reimbursements to any organization that provides care to trans youth. This would be a de facto national ban

Trump pushes an end to medical care for transgender youth nationally
The White House plans to bar hospitals that treat transgender children and youth from getting any Medicare and Medicaid payments. The move would affect trans youth who have private insurance, too.
