I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

Florida Freedom?
" You Lack Values" postcard gets CFO Blaise Ignoglia's office knickers in a twist. What happened between the CFO's office receiving the card and the two officers showing up at their doorstep isn't known.

Postcards for Freedom call for action.
The A2 has the NRA, the A1 has us.

Russia's war aim is to annihilate Ukrainians as a people and to make a colony of all Ukrainian land.

There is no "deal" that can possibly stop Russian imperialism. Only the total defeat of the Russian invaders and their unconditional surrender can stop it.

When I got in the car and turned on terrestrial radio, Boléro was playing. If you’re into getting messages from the Universe, increase your randomness. We are still in the age where it’s possible

Office of Science - CDC Library

They have helped SO many of us with their expertise & guidance so we can do efficient & quick research.

You don’t need us toiling in Pubmed for days at a time during an outbreak. The library helps us get what we need quickly so we can continue our work.

The Oregonian Frogs are missing a trick not playing Paul McCartney’s Frog Chorus as their song, “we all stand together” is a perfect sentiment all things considered

One of the cool things about Cirque Du Soleil is at the end of the show when everyone is coming out and doing bows, all of the stagehands and camera ppl come out too. It's great to see behind the scenes people being acknowledged. Doesn't happen very often in most scenarios.

The world’s longest rainbow path. The 600 metre “Long Walk to Equality” by artist Travis Myers at Hanlan’s Point on Toronto Island … the location of Canada’s first Pride in 1971.
