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.

MMWR published a report in 1981 about five men with unusual cases of pneumonia in Los Angeles. In retrospect, it was the first publication to detect and inform the wider scientific community of the presence of HIV.

Last night, everyone working on MMWR was fired.

What can possibly go wrong……go wrong…..go wrong… only everybloodything.
I’m sure the rich people will be fine though, just the people who aren’t billionaires will be affected (basically, most of the USA)😳

I'm sorry for what you're being put through. I don't know how to right this wrong- I just know that eventually, it will be, if we just persevere.

I think that that was part of project 2025 and it’s been the point all along sadly. There are just so many enablers to the destruction of the country.

Good luck keeping up 🔥

Good night, friends.
Tonight was deeply painful.

We at CDC do this work because we care.
It’s long hours, often feeling overworked and not enough pay, but we do it because we want to make the world a better place.

There are more of us than there are of them—and we know our right to assemble peacefully and protest. I’m counting on my fellow Americans to prove that at the No Kings protest on Oct. 18.

In Vietnam, there are myriad little lakes formed from bomb craters—in which lotus flowers grow. That image sticks with me. The Zen master and peace activist Thich Nhat Hanh taught, no mud, no lotus. Without the mud, the flower cannot grow. What will we grow from the mud we are collectively in?

This is priceless, not only did Trump not win his precious Nobel, it rightfully went to a latino woman who spends her life in opposition to everything Trump stands for. As I'm writing this I'm positive that the White House and Mar-A-Largo staff are hiding all the ketchup bottles.

An artificial heart for children with congenital heart defects was almost finished. Families had waited for years it.

Then, Trump canceled billions in grants for universities — including the grant for this device.

The cruelty is endless. www.npr.org/2025/10/09/n...

This 4-year-old's heart is failing. A federal grant that might help him was canceled

A Cornell University researcher has been developing an artificial heart for children for more than 20 years. Now, his research is on hold and his lab is shut down.
