1/2. We're often told not to talk about politics at work and maybe some friends may say they don't like talking about politics or you find yourself in a setting where "it's not the right time."

BREAKING: In response to our motion, the court has required CDC, FDA, and HHS to immediately restore critical health info and data that the Trump administration ordered the agencies to remove.

The removal creates a dangerous gap in scientific research and threatens public health.

(1/3) Many came to me feeling overwhelmed and helpless in the last 2 weeks given all the changes happening. Effects on their jobs, their health, their future, you name it. I ended the week with a client who felt this way for so long that these orders don't quite emotionally affect them that way.
