I trust that Trump and Musk won’t ban this issue of Vogue Netherlands dedicated to sisterhood — but anything is possible in our mess of a country.

This instant I am hearing that Trump, Musk and Kennedy just cancelled The Women’s Health Initiative [WHI], a historic initiative that has studied women’s health outcomes for three decades.

Our young women — and men — would be surprised to learn that women were rarely included in health research in America. Why? Because we would screw up the results for men. We’re a variable, therefore we were getting the same treatments as men for heart disease, which often produced bad results in women.

On the same day these men take the mic to tell American women we must have more babies — and they should say ‘white babies’, because that’s what they mean — this despicable trio of Trump, Musk and Kennedy cancel the largest and most successful women’s health research initiative in America.

Update 4/24/25: AOC is only one of multiple voices to go for the juglar with the Trump Administration. We do not mess around on women’s rights and related causes in America. We don’t weep. We fight.

I am pleased to say that we beat back this decision today — quite early this morning. It took hours for Google News to generate a holy f*ck aggregate response over this latest Musk-Trump-Kennedy move against American women. They retreated. We say “Onwards to the next fight.”

[Previously, when first posting Wed night . . . ] I am so worried — like heart sick worried — about our young women in America. I have no idea what lies in store for them, although we are fighting hard to stop Trump and Musk, with good success in the courts. And people up to 100 years old are protesting.

Understand that Elon Musk, who can’t seem to comprehend that America is not South Africa, donated $20 million of his own money to RBG PAC, created to confuse women voters in the November election that Donald Trump’s stance on abortion was akin to that of late, revered feminist Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Musk was confusing voters saying abortion was safe under Trump, running social media ads and sending mail. What an arrogant, lying, white nationalist misogynist is Elon Musk. He lies as often as Trump. ~ Anne

PS: I adore Dorit Revelis. Did I say that? I do. I love her vibe and always check in to see what she’s doing.

Vogue Netherlands writes — and I thank them for this issue:

Women's rights are under pressure worldwide - right now it is more important than ever to strengthen our bond and make our voices heard. In this issue, we therefore honor the role models from TV series and movies where sisterhood is dropping off the screen and we also reflect on more serious issues, such as violence against women and where our 'brothers' are in this story.
