I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.
I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

“In 38 states, health care is now the biggest employer. Some former manufacturing hubs, like Cleveland and Pittsburgh, have transitioned to health care as a core driver of the local economy. And hospitals are often the largest employers in small towns and rural places”

The entirety of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health was wiped out last night in a form letter sent by RFK Jr.
NIOSH is an agency in the CDC that investigates workplace hazards and finds solutions. It protects workers, so it’s gone. Even firefighters.

BEEM is a powerful study on #guaranteedincome & Black young adult health that unjustly received notice of #NIH terminations. This project matters to our participants, #healthequity, & the future of evidence-based policy. We’re not giving up but need your help! tinyurl.com/yc4v8ah8

We are saving as much public data as we can. The other thing you can do is speak out. Tell everyone you know about what is happening (here, IRL, everywhere). We need people to know the consequences of these actions.
Ohhh look! People care about our work! Come find out how to help.
Petabytes of critical government research that is marked for possible deletion cannot be archived because of technical and legal restrictions, meaning it is very likely to be lost forever:

For the people who used to ask 'Why do you have to be so political?' I hope that it's now obvious why.
Healthcare is political. Housing is political. Education is political. The air we breathe, the water we drink —it's all shaped by policy and power.
Ignoring that is a political choice.

These contracts, constitutionally grounded, are binding agreements between scientists & government
Their cancellation risks making scientific inquiry vulnerable to political influence, threatening public health policy & the well-being of vulnerable communities

The New Deal and Reconstruction were both born of a nation fallen to chaos and misery because of evil shitheads seeking to enrich themselves through human suffering. This is our chance to take that torch and run with it in a way that *endures*, and that can be our legacy.

Aside from limited materials, corporations manufacture abroad because of child labor and worker rights laws, as well as OSHA and the federal minimum wage. As poorly conceived as it is, the tariff plan would never have been proposed at all if it didn't also include a plan to repeal those protections.

As near as I can tell, RFK Jr’s plan to Make America Healthy Again is to simply stop collecting any information on health.
If there’s no data, the data can’t look bad, I guess?

it was never about money, this was always an ideological battle following fascist playbooks
Less than 1% of the US budget.
Liquidating federal health agencies is not about saving money.
Dismissing these workers will dismantle these agencies and cost American lives and our economy.
