Trump is live in front of an arena audience signing executive orders. These are some of them:

- America has withdrawn from the WHO and the Paris Climate Accord

- 1,500 January 6 rioters have been pardoned, some sentences were commuted but all are expected to be released from prison (including Oath Keepers and Proud Boys leaders)

- TikTok ban extended 75 days

- Reverses Biden's lifting of the classification of Cuba as a terrorist state

- Federal hiring freeze & federal employees to work in-person 5 days a week

- Rescinds Title IX amendment which federally protected against discrimination based on gender identity or sexual orientation in education

Man I am terrified for these undocumented immigrants  it’s so heartbreaking to know that these people are going to be potentially punished for seeking a better life only to get sucked up by America’s failed immigration and documentation system. We need a path to citizenship and it has been broken for decades. Now trump is going to ruin peoples lives through hideous anti-immigration policies and say he’s saving us from “invaders.” As if we’re not all descendants of immigrants.

This is all terrible but I can’t believe we’re withdrawing from the WHO  everyone say your prayers we don’t have another pandemic like COVID these next four years! Not sure if bird flu will spiral out of control in humans, but fatality rate for that is 50% btw

A lot of people are going to learn the very tough lesson that rights can be lost as well as won. And it makes me desperately sad as someone living far away to contemplate that.

are you celebrating in this moment? or just trying to stir the pot when you know people are emotionally vulnerable in a thread like this? genuine question, no shade meant, and im not trying to start anything. i just think we should be cautious of how we approach responding to people in this time. its weird asf in the US rn

I’m curious who you think would handle the next pandemic better than the WHO. 

 
RFK jr. who has 0 experience in the healthcare field? 
 

Or Dr. Oz who promotes pseudoscience medical advice that is unproven to be effective 40% of the time?

in a separate thread I recall your pushback against universal healthcare in America, now your negative comments against WHO — think it’s pretty obvious your right-wing slant in this forum lol 

[Veinsineon 78,380]

its just rage bait 

[Mer 63,729]

The WHO had many issues, namely in (arguably unwillingly/unknowingly) helping China downplay Covid-19 in late 2019--BUT, without it, we would have gotten exactly 0 information out of China.

It essentially guarantees that should the next pandemic happen, the US is completely on it's own. There will be no shared access to vaccine resources or research, no shared intel, and no advanced notices of illnesses spreading in parts of the world which we do not regularly communicate with.

[Slutto 96]

also the US was the WHO's biggest financial donor, so public health around the rest of the world has just taken a huge hit

[jaesana 4,076]

Trump is doing isolationism (pulling us out of the Paris climate accord, the World Health Organization - I suspect NATO in the future?) while simultaneously threatening to annex Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal. It’s giving imperialism
