Remember that Lena Sun was fired from Planned Parenthood after less than a year for major policy issues.

She’s another Rick Scott. Why these repeat offenders of public health policy are given repeated second chances is wrong. WAPo is a star of this behavior.

Thanks.

Surprising to have dialysis and vaccinations at the same time…

I was tested and had zero measles immunity. Six weeks ago I had an MMR booster and today I get my COVID vax. Had to wait one month after MMR because it is a live virus. Maybe you should consult your doctor. Best to you.

It’s been…. a night.

#CDCFridayNightMassacre

I’m exhausted - physically, emotionally.
To those divisions and branches that were RIFed and that we didn’t yet highlight here, apologies. We need to take a break for the night.

All of your - all of our - work matters.
We are in this together.

Many thanks to all of you. I would like to help some folks who will be struggling financially, but don’t know how to get the help to the specific people who need it.

Maybe *altorgs* like you guys can set something up?

If I were actively trying to destroy the United States from within, going after and dismantling its public health would be like the first thing I’d do.

Just pointing that out.

This is beyond dangerous. It’s leaving us vulnerable in a way we can’t really fathom until it’s too late.

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

I’ve been screaming about the spittle-ing MOC’s since they started their healthcare crusade.

What is there to fucking save? You stupid idiots.

I am grateful to have an honest, reliable source of people on here to keep us informed. Many thanks to all of them.

Thanks very much for this. Hard to believe I’m watching this at 2:15am ct… but glad I did. I shared. Take care.

This video described me and I imagine many others here. Sometimes it’s reassuring just to hear someone describe what you are experiencing so perfectly. We are in this together.

This is very poorly communicated by Katherine Clark.

The following is from Mike Johnson.

If I were a DC reporter, I’d consider maybe pressing Johnson on how he reconciles these two statements.

@atrupar.com

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, l'm a very patient guy, but l've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ..."

@atrupar.com

Mike Johnson: "People have got to stop framing simple policy disagreements in terms of existential threats to our democracy. You can't call the other side fascists and enemies of the state and not understand that there are some deranged people in our society who will take that as cues to act."

It’s so hard to understand. Like with immigration. What’s happening today is not a solution, not even a bandaid. They need round table symposiums with experts and citizens. Lots of long-term hard work to solve these national issues. No lobbyists!

Agree completely. I recall your post about one of your doctors. It’s been nearly impossible where I live to get certain appointments. Months of waiting... but I am relentless. :))

I have playlists. Will listen tonight as I prepare dinner.

Only saw them once, but it was so great. In Memphis at the Pyramid theatre, which is open air on the Mississippi River. The sound was pure symphony.

Attorney General William Tong @agwilliamtong.bsky.social · 1d

I join with the attorneys general of Minnesota, California, Colorado, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, and Washington in condemning Trump's baseless and unprecedented attacks on nonprofits' freedom of speech.

Read our full statement here: portal.ct.gov/ag/press-rel...

Ten Attorneys General Condemn Trump Attacks on Nonprofits' Freedom of Speech

...In a country founded on the right to hold different opinions than the king, the President’s shameless attempt to punish nonprofits and charities who may not co-sign his extremist agenda is deeply un-American...

Our message to the nonprofits and charities we oversee is: You keep fulfilling your missions, and we will keep fighting against attempts to weaponize the government to suppress your legitimate activities and constitutional freedoms.”
