Dr. David Kessler, former White House Chief Science Officer, gave a sober warning about the HHS firings. He says we only have about a week to undo this, before the damage is permanent.
@kimlockhartga Yep, this is why I shake my head sadly at people who want to wait for 2026 to do anything about this.

@Wyatt_H_Knott @kimlockhartga This will have an enormous effect on service to our VETS! Just so wrong! This Saturday, April 5th, there will be protests all over the country! Find a protest near you!
@kimlockhartga Strategically, this is like a punitive military occupation. We may not like what is happening, but a tactical opening must present itself. Most of us are not in a position to accomplish much. I keep trying to figure out what can be done to mitigate the damage and to position ourselves for real reconstruction when possible. I am not handling this well psychologically, but I am trying to keep a brave face.
