#Trump Finds a New Way to Attack #Education: Cutting Aid for #Students Who Are #Parents
Tucked into Trump’s budget is a plan to eliminate all $75 million in funding for CCAMPIS, #childcare for parents. That’s separate from $1.6 billion in cuts to tuition assistance for lower-income students proposed by House Republicans in “Big, Beautiful, Bill,” which is predicted to be largest wealth transfer, in the form of tax cuts, from the poor to the rich in the nation’s history.

When #parents won't #MaskUp - they teach their #children to not be safe with their #health too. They also teach their kids to not care about others in the community. I'm blown away by how many parents are OK with exposing themselves & their kids to several preventable, airborne illnesses, including covid. They're risking death & disabilities on themselves & their kids.

Our #PublicHealth system is already overburdened & understaffed. We have many former health care workers with long covid & they never returned to work. We are nowhere near prepared to deal with many future cases of long covid & the 2ndary illnesses & disabilities that more people will suffer from - because they aren't being #CovidSafe.

Our government & mainstream media has stopped reporting facts on covid & on long covid. They want the public to forget about it. Which means dismissing the lives of disabled people like me & many others, who are still being covid safe.
