This is utterly evil. Call this what it is for the love of God.
Those Americans who are honest to themselves will have no problem seeing this edict for the monstrosity it is, and it goes without saying that it's fascist, hateful, vindictive shit like this that has fueled the environment which led to the assassinations of the two Minnesota lawmakers and the wounding of two others this past weekend.
It also goes without saying that I would prefer not to be close to anyone in my personal life who believes that any of this is acceptable.

"Doctors at Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) hospitals nationwide could refuse to treat unmarried veterans and Democrats under new hospital guidelines imposed following an executive order by Donald Trump.
The new rules, obtained by the Guardian, also apply to psychologists, dentists and a host of other occupations. They have already gone into effect in at least some VA medical centers.
Medical staff are still required to treat veterans regardless of race, color, religion and sex, and all veterans remain entitled to treatment. But individual workers are now free to decline to care for patients based on personal characteristics not explicitly prohibited by federal law.
Language requiring healthcare professionals to care for veterans regardless of their politics and marital status has been explicitly eliminated."
Donald Trump is a menace to our civil society and our national security. He needs to be removed from office. Whether that be by impeachment or the 25th amendment, it needs to be done. America as we have known it can not survive his continued presence in our venerated White House for very much longer.
