these people have the self-reflection of a vampire

Bring as many American flags to No Kings as you can.

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

Trump is stooping so low that he’s gutting the federal Office of Special Education.

Attacking students with disabilities is wrong. Every child in America deserves a fair shot at success.

✍️Voter PSA! ✍️

On Nov 4th, across the country, there are 1000s of local elections. Early voting starts today in some places. From school board to mayor every one of these elections matters. This is how we take our country back

Got to your state "my voter" page (or equivalent) to find your elections

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78.

Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

📣Protesting is important. It is a visible reminder that we are not alone and that we are not powerless. It sends a message to those weak men in DC: that we will not give up our freedoms without a fight 🇺🇸

See you on Saturday. Bring friends 💪

The new WHO global report on antimicrobial resistance is grim
1 in 6 bacterial infections worldwide is now resistant to antibiotics.
That’s 16% of common bacterial infections that no longer respond to standard treatments.

1) I once again take this opportunity to remind you: to keep its basic functioning, society has to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

2) is...is it happening?

New levels of hell: just got an email from our local AYSO cancelling today’s youth soccer games because ICE is at the Home Depot across from the soccer fields at James Park in Evanston.

More CDC Cuts 💣💥

Gone is the Employee Assistance Program. They help staff deal with many things, among them coping with the trauma of being the victim of a terrorist attack 2 months ago.

Also gone, every policy and communications role left, eliminating any communication function at CDC.

The thing that is most devastating to me about the ongoing evisceration of the public health infrastructure in the U.S right is how little awareness of what's going on the majority of people in the general public have and the impact this will have on their health and safety.

I feel the same way.

Proud to know you, Howard🫶🏽

impact—
“1)Outbreaks go unseen…
2)Doctors lose guidance…
3)States lose coordination…like trying to fight a wildfire w/o radios
4)Americans lose time. The time btwn an emerging threat & a public warning stretches from hrs to days to weeks.In public health, time saves lives”🛟🧪 @kkjetelina.bsky.social

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

Qatari soldiers in Idaho will have better access to health care than Americans.

Federal employees across the government are now receiving layoff notices, a devastating outcome of Trump’s political games. It’s outrageous that he would use people’s livelihoods as pawns to “score political points”.

This is beyond bad. All of our disease defenses are down now. We are sitting ducks. This is #RussellVought #DonaldTrump. They are endangering American lives with their insane crusade. These men are hazardous to your health and dangerous to the republic.

The editors of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) were apparently fired today.

The precursor to MMWR began in 1878 to address emerging public health threats rapidly.

We are not “great” without it. We are vulnerable to threats from sporadic foodborne illness to bioterrorism.

“We should replace Bad Bunny with Lee Greenwood” is an also a perfect summation of the “deal” they’ve offered universities.
