Trump is freezing all federal grants: https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/t...index.html
Headlines don't really do this justice. This is a defunding of almost everything anyone takes for granted in their daily life in this country. This guts most nonprofits, virtually all homeless and battered women's shelters, community support services of every kind, municipal maintenance and improvement projects, medical research, every grad student is basically fucked. Universities will have to slash staff. Foreign aid is also gone, which is pretty much the one good thing the US does for the world.
This is in addition to the efforts to fire a bunch of federal workers and carry out mass deportations. He is simultaneously putting a ton of people out of work *and* getting rid of people who do all kinds of essential jobs. If he thinks firing all the "woke DEI" employees will get them to go pick vegetables and sweep Walmart floors... good luck, I guess?
I had a feeling he and his goons would feel emboldened to do too much too fast and overreach. This is going to hurt so many people so quickly. And this isn't a country where our leaders hide in fortresses, never to be seen the public. We have an extremely publicly visible and accessible government. I'm just saying. You can't piss off this many people and go walking around in public like it's fine.
