So now the Administration are saying that the mass firing of CDC scientists, including many responsible for preventing outbreaks, was an “error” and many will be brought back.

Don’t think it was an ice agent.

They have fired the staff of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers, who are disease detectives that respond to outbreaks around the world.

I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous it is to dismantle our disease surveillance infrastructure.

And very much based in white supremacy because why are you trying to homogenize how a group of people looks?

you're not a trans ally if you're ever "confused" about someone's gender identity based on their appearance. even if you yourself are trans. people not wanting to look like how you think they should look is a YOU issue that YOU need to address about YOURSELF. ✨️🥰🤗

Irish library staff have been subjected to repeated harassment by far-right extremists, with attempts to remove queer books from shelves & threats of book burning. This new LGBTQ+ group is a welcome step for defending free speech, the library LGBTQ community & library users, in Ireland.

First LGBTQ+ network launches in Library Association of Ireland

The new queer network had its first meeting this October, marking a big step for the LGBTQ+ library community.
