Sending much love and solidarity to all the public health workers who have been inexplicably fired from government agencies today. The world is far less safe as a result.

I swear, this administration is what happens when you can just buy a degree. Anything you don't understand must be waste.

These agencies and the people staffing them are there BECAUSE WE NEED THEM.

@cafechatnoir @luckytran I'm not convinced that it's general ignorance. There's a lot of eugenics ideas inherent in the policies they're moving forward.

Those beliefs are ignorant but they're also systematic and people need to recognize the patterns that were happening during 2020 and have accelerated with the recent election. They are purposeful because they hinge on beliefs that only "lesser" people need these services.

Not recognizing that worldview wastes good faith arguments on bad actors

@clarablackink @cafechatnoir @luckytran
Eugenics and/or Libertarianism. That is, there should be no government services whatsoever; everyone should pay for everything directly, and if you can't afford it, it's your fault.
