Many of us in the public arena knew that the 47 regime would usher in insane, chaotic changes designed to destroy our system of government, but I don't think most of us realized the true extent and pace of the destruction, even naively believing the courts would be a bulwark against their extreme agenda.. it is undeniably clear that the American people must band together and rise up to denounce this regime, stand up for the rule of law, and all of the good work our federal governmental employees have done and continue to do, as long as they are able.. we must support these civil servants - most of whom could have taken jobs in the private sector for so much more money - but chose instead to serve their neighbors, and for what?? To get a thankless slap in the face from the very people they've worked so hard for?!

They’ve already destroyed the institute for occupational safety and health (NIOSH). Think about that. The institute that ensures workers’ health at work is based on research (OSHA bases its regulations on NIOSH research). But that’s gone now.

It’s the Roberts’Court’s intentional destruction of Congressional authority that is the ULTIMATE CAUSE OF ALL OF THIS CHAOS!

CORPORATIONS CONTROL THE REPUBLICAN PARTY THROUGH DONATIONS! PERIOD!

Corporate Wealth demanded less Congressional oversight! Corporate Wealth wanted less accountability to the public through Independent Agencies and Boards!

Congress carefully crafted the governing bodies of these “independent” agencies and boards to ensure political independence from political meddling and manipulation!

HELLO!

Many “babies will be thrown out with the bath water” of corporate control of of our government !

Without public financing of national campaigns we will NOT rid ourselves of the curse of corrupt corporate governance!

The Roberts’ Court is the ultimate vessel of corrupt, corporate influence! Congress is the People’s House, and the Roberts’ Court is destroying its authority to regulate its corporate overlords!

This regime is methodically destroying democracy and ushering in an era of discrimination, slavery, and control of media. Death is next and we don't have much time to stop it. We need to louder.

The aim is to only fund Trump/MAGA approved research that supports their agenda. That's not how research is done. The purpose of research is to pursue knowledge that benefits humanity. No political agendas allowed.
