If you're talking to ppl who aren't sure why we should care about the MMWR staff being fired, here's an MMWR article from 9/25/2025. These are people whose work we don't (& shouldn't have to) think about. But they gather data & inform the people who we trust to keep us safe. #EpiSky

The US is a straight-up police state, more egregious than the vast majority of ‘totalitarian regimes’ we (in the Global North) grew up being warned about.

Picture the Feds took with supposed Latin Kings leader (whose wife says he’s being framed) is 100% inspired by the IDF

There are so many amazing mental health experts in NL who know what needs to be fixed. The Liberals and the PCs listened to none of the recommendations or research. Ask yourself why? Who benefits?

The NDP are looking at housing which is great but only covering 3 psychologist visits a year will not be of help. We need psychologists in the public sector. More pressure has to be put there.

No actual commitment to mental health and addictions. The Liberals still want to discuss despite all the consultations the All Party committee completed. Pay private rather than commit. The PCs called mental illness and addictions demons and want more police.

Here's where N.L.'s parties stand on addictions and recovery ahead of provincial election | CBC News

The merch is really good, if you'd rather buy than make a straight donation, they've got all the stuff: lawn signs, t-shirts, hats, mugs, magnets, onsies, buttons, water bottles, etc.

I'm itching to buy those mugs.

cdc-mutual-aid-network.printful.me

Lawn signs: "Save Public Health" & "Save the CDC," with scan codes to support the CDC Mutual Aid Fund.

Tshirts come in a range of colors: Public Health Protects Us All, with text under an umbrella

Lots of car magnets: Save HHS, Save FDA, Save the NIH, In Vaccines We Trust, etc.

Great mugs: one says FAFO is not a goof public health strategy; another says "That wasn't very data-driven of you."

Marjorie Taylor Greene : "Prices have not come down at all. The job market is extremely difficult. Wages have not gone up. Health insurance premiums are going to go up. Homeowner's insurance goes up every year. Rent is going up. Young people have no hope of buying a home."

Looking for a new way to meet people? Try Pudding mit Gabel,” or “pudding with fork.”

The activity entails exactly as its name suggests. You meet up with a group of strangers and, well, eat pudding with a fork.
