Trump can’t:

take away our anger
stop us from using our minds
stop us from reading & writing
hide his fraudulence
make us hate a free, democratic America
convince us our allies are really our enemies
make us stop loving
stop us from realizing collective power

I wrote about how Trump is dismantling the country's disaster forecasting infrastructure. But this isn't going to stop disasters from piling up -- quite the contrary.
Flash Floods and Climate Policy

One thing the MAHA report is seriously missing: connection to reality. You can’t tackle chronic illness while gutting the workforce that prevents it. Health departments hollowed out, $11b of directed federal support pulled, 20k jobs at health agencies eliminated.
