Abrahamic religions are patriarchal and the world has been shite ever since the first one existed The first one disparaged its male god’s partner Ashera. The natural masculine/feminine balance that governed humans up to that time was destroyed We’re here bec of patriarchal religion

Federal workers at the CDC keep working people healthy and protected during public health emergencies. Gutting the agency does nothing to “make America healthy again,” it just puts all of our safety and health on and off the job at risk. www.commondreams.org/news/trump-zom…

“This is not normal," said the president of the union representing CDC workers. "What we are witnessing is the dismantling of public health infrastructure our country relies on."

Out-of-pocket costs for health care jumped 10% this year – up to an avg of $2,167.  They’re going to jump even more next year.  This administration caused this crisis – and they have no real plan to fix it.
