Great resources! And I would add a few state-based suggestions for folks to seek out.
In Indiana, we have, Good Trouble Coalition, founded after Dobbs, with a mission focused on Hoosier healthcare and public health. This organization is run by doctors and other public health stakeholders who are passionate about making a difference in their community. On their website, you'll find a bill tracker that keeps tabs on current health bills making their way through the state legislature, along with ratings on how each bill will impact public health.
Good Trouble is led by a well-respected and highly qualified team of medical professionals, with Dr. Gabriel Bosslet at the helm. They've even added a podcast called "Hoosier Health Matters" to help Hoosiers understand the bills, patient care, and more. What's inspiring is that Good Trouble was modeled after organizations in Michigan and Ohio, showing how community-led initiatives can spread and make a real impact.
I also highly recommend finding a reputable statewide health organization to follow in your own state. These groups are at the forefront of advocating for policies that benefit the health and well-being of their communities. They need our support right now.
Thanks again Stephanie for pulling together this information!!
Thanks @mary! You make a great suggestion. Do seek out good sources for public health info in your state, particularly if it's a red state. The official sources will likely lie, so you've got to find fact-based, local data you can rely on.
Ok folks - next step will be to send us the sop-payment- psychologically incorporates us in their criming. Been thinking about a response along these lines. Thoughts welcome!!
Today (2/20/25) Trump said he "will consider a "dividend" to all US taxpayers from "savings" generated by Musk's DOGE."
Sorry asshats, your blood money isn't legal tender. You simpletons "made" this tainted cash by ruining the lives, reputations and futures of millions of ordinary Americans, those you call the "parasite class," by:
1. Firing more than 300,000 (so far) hard working permanent and probationary federal employees, without due process or cause or severance or continuing their insurance, some of whom you also abandoned in other countries who now have no place to live or way to get home at government expense,
2. Entirely eliminating long-standing international markets for American farmers' products grown and raised under firm contracts with USAID and other federal entities, likely causing many American farmers to lose their farms and livelihoods,
3. Breaching reimbursement terms for improvements American farmers agreed to make and completed at the behest and promise-to-pay of the US Government,
4. Illegally allowing access to and failing to protect the security and safety of personal financial, medical and personal information of millions of citizens who reasonably expected that the government itself would follow the laws requiring such information be protected,
5. Increasing the cost of items imported to the US for sale to US consumers by failing to understand that your idiotic tariff wars cause the price paid by Americans for those products to rise dramatically, NOT at the cost to any other country,
6. Planning to force millions and millions of citizens off Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security solely to "balance" historic REPUBLICAN budget overruns on the backs of those who can least afford it (while also hurting the medical profession) and giving tax CUTS to million- and billionaires who can well afford such care
7. + Suggestions???
And you did this all so unqualified, unethical, self-righteous, pompous and frankly, evil MAGA men like yourselves can have more, more, more of everything you have not earned.
Don't bother to send any of that blood money to try buy us off. GO TO HELL.

Thank you. I’m a retired public health and school nurse. CDC and WHO were often “go to” sources of valid information. I would additionally utilize research based data from teaching hospitals and universities. I’m keeping the list and I will spread the word.
