We have relied on the MMWR in healthcare for at least 50 years. They’re killing Americans.

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:

This is just incredible. Right up there with the woman growing a fetus in the placenta.

They’re horrible. I cringe.

Suzanne Minarcine @drsuzannem.bsky.social · 1d

True. But it’s still a waste. Many were sad to be missing the first day of school, etc.

I heard today some NG members interviewed were proud to be part of keeping DC safe. Seriously? I felt safe before.

They all have the responsibility to refuse unlawful orders - from your lowest ranking local police officer on the street all the way up to that dipshit running DHS. The difference is NG and military have a multi-year commitment they can't walk away from. Police, ICE and CBP can resign at any time.

Let’s make sure we keep our priorities straight. Release the Epstein files!

Right? As a pilot, I never paid for my uniforms, either. I can’t even get copies made at school. I do everything on my printer at home.

Good grief. These people have completely lost touch with reality.

Looks delicious

That’s exciting!

A piece about my essay in Salvation South was on Georgia Public Broadcasting this morning. Here’s a link to the story on Spotify. It might not have been the smartest thing I’ve ever done.

Is anyone really surprised?

Ron Filipkowski @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 3d

I’m shocked.

Suzanne Minarcine @drsuzannem.bsky.social · 3d

Oh my goodness. That would be my mom, too.

Suzanne Minarcine @drsuzannem.bsky.social · 3d

“We aren’t fascists and if you say we are, we will arrest you.” Sounds like something a fascist would say.

Suzanne Minarcine @drsuzannem.bsky.social · 3d

Me, too. So tired.

Oh yes! She doesn’t miss a thing! Except rationality, sometimes!

Suzanne Minarcine @drsuzannem.bsky.social · 3d

That’s good advice and I’m usually able to avoid it, but she overheard my phone conversation and it went downhill from there. I should have gone outside.

Isn’t this a convenient coincidence.

I wish I could get through to my mom

Suzanne Minarcine @drsuzannem.bsky.social · 3d

She wound up yelling at me last night and went in her room. Unfortunately, she listens to everything my brother tells her and she believes it all.

Leaving my 92 year old mom’s after a particularly uncomfortable visit. “Democrats are responsible for the shutdown.” “Charlie Kirk was a good man who never said anything racist.” I want so badly to have a good relationship with my mom, but it is hard sometimes.

Thanks. Home tomorrow. I pray that we can make some kind of peace before she goes.

Suzanne Minarcine @drsuzannem.bsky.social · 4d

These are beautiful!

I am visiting my 92-year-old mom in NC and since we’ve been here, she’s blamed the Dems for the shutdown and deified Charlie Kirk. I’m struggling here. I need to visit more often, but this is hard. I never realized her suppressed racism until Obama was elected.

Yes - they’re more than happy to overlook pedophilia, incest, etc.
