More than a dozen data-gathering programs that track deaths and disease appear to have been eliminated in the tornado of layoffs and proposed budget cuts in the Trump administration’s first 100 days

We are so, so fucked.
We are rapidly losing all of the institutions and processes we rely on to know what's happening in the country, the systems that inform us of dangers to our health and well-being, the institutions that recognize and respond to things like pandemics.
This is not accidental. The fascists in charge now truly don't want us to know what their rule is doing nationwide. They don't want anyone informing us how THEY are consistently damaging our lives, our towns, our families. They are removing anything that would inform us of the things we desperately need to know to survive.
We can't afford to wait (or hope) for another election. The courts are too slow. WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.
