Summary
FDA scientists have been instructed to avoid using words like “woman,” “disabled,” and “elderly” in external communications, per a leaked list circulating within the agency.
The directive, reportedly linked to Trump’s executive order against “gender ideology,” has caused confusion and concern.
The White House denies most words are banned but confirms restrictions on terms related to gender and diversity.
Scientists fear these limits will hinder medical research and public health efforts.
Nobody realizes that all of these outrageous headlines, quotes and ideas of Trump are just distractions from his actual agenda. He’s intentionally flooding the media with this kind of stuff.
This headline in particular is completely irrelevant in the grand sceme of things. So is most other things. Like him saying he’s going to own Gaza. Was never going to happen. It’s just a distraction and everyone is falling for it again and again.
I learned to ignore most of what Trump is doing and only pay attention to the important stuff that usually ranks second in the news behind this kind of stuff.
Such as?
Increasing the power of the executive branch in line with Unitary Executive Theory and following the Project 2025 playbook through Elon to gut social services across the board. He will be the dictator of the country when they’re done, with no regulatory agency power to stop the full fascist takeover.
All the money they saved by cutting these essential programs that literally keep people alive (in the US and around the world) and from homelessness will be sent to the rich through tax cuts. It’s all very obvious, but since they’re hurting nonwhite people the most, hardly anyone who voted for him sees what’s happened.
