We really have to vote this fascist out. From Robert Reich's FB post.
"The White House is preparing to cut millions of dollars in funding for crucial services in Democratic-led cities that Trump doesn’t like. After Trump issued an absurd executive order mandating that federal agencies slash funding for cities labeled as “anarchist jurisdictions", Attorney General William Barr designated New York City; Portland, O.R.; and Seattle, W.A. as such and instructed agencies to scrutinize funding for Washington, D.C. as well. Here’s what’s on the chopping block for these cities:
— Nutrition and mental health services for elderly people in New York City
— Funding for Trump’s own HIV initiative in King County, Wash.
— A multimillion-dollar grant for community and migrant health care centers for COVID patients in Multnomah County, Ore.
— Addiction treatment and recovery services in Washington, D.C.
"That’s just the tip of the iceberg. 185 programs, serving populations with the most high-risk conditions, are at risk of being gutted because of Trump’s temper. This kind of political retribution is unethical in normal times; in the midst of a pandemic that continues to rage on, it’s downright cruel. Time and again, Trump has shown no interest in serving the American people — he only serves himself."
