Over the past year I’ve been pouring sweat into new basic #HIV research projects. Current chaos is a major challenge. Would any of y’all consider donating so I can spend more time on these efforts? Donors could receive acknowledgement etc. #terminatedscience Please RT!

ATTENTION FEDS In NM et al v Musk, the judge denied a TRO against DOGE firings due to lack of evidence of immediate and irreparable harm. Attorneys are asking us for evidence of harm to states (including individuals) due to firing/cancelled services. Message altcdc.99 on signal for submission email

Firing probationary employees is senseless. Probationaries are: -New to their position -Make lower salaries -Recruited to bring in new talent -Far LESS likely to be dogmatic They're being fired because they have fewer protections. Not because this will improve government efficiency or cut costs.

We got a Costco membership for the first time in our lives today. They asked why & I said because treat your workers well, you value diversity, & you didn’t cave in to authoritarian demands. He said: “We’ve been getting lots of folks saying that, thanks for joining.” Who needs a gallon of ketchup?

What can you do? Don’t give up hope. Dictators feed off your hopelessness. Don’t quit. Dictators want you to give up. Punch back. Dictators are bullies, and bullies are cowards. Stay tethered to the truth. Dictators need you to believe their lies. Resist. Stand with others.

Hi fed friends. Guess which required CDC employee trainings were just suspended? Harassment prevention, Reasonable Accommodation for the Federal Workforce, and the No FEAR Act. Guess which topics we need to brush up on? That's right. ☝️📖🥄 #researchersgonnaresearch #deweydecimal
