He's got places to land, but it's bad news for the country.

(5,545 posts)are personal heroes of mine. It was very difficult for leaders to advocate for lgbtq+ medical treatment back in the 80's and 90's. As a registered nurse I worked with a number of physicians, nurses, and ancillary staff who made clear their distaste for lgbtq+ patients. As a country we have made such progress. It is very painful to see us falling back so far, and so quickly.

(7,026 posts)Everyone should light up their Congresspersons phone lines tomorrow and demand that they publicly and loudly call for RFK Jr.s resignation immediately before he destroys the entire CDC and kills us all in the process 😡🤬 Our leadership needs to shout this from the rooftops like Senator Murray is doing!!!

(8,019 posts)The personal toll is tremendous and falls unevenly, but what other choice is there when it comes to exposing the serious damages to our institutions that keep us healthy and safe? These folks are the true heroes, and I admire them greatly.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
