We need to start calling the right radical. I see evangelical, fascist, white supremacist, far right, the alt-right, etc. but what they’re doing is radical. How about: “the radical evangelical far right fascist white supremacist administration we find ourselves under” 🤔

Well this isn't good.

Did he though

The latest episode discusses two important executive orders that have been released from the White House relating to religion and health services. Take a brief deep dive into the rhetoric, a few legal concepts, and my own ideas of what these orders mean and what they mean for the LGBTQ+ community.

I launched my podcast today! ReligiosiTea explores intersections of religion and health. Click the link below or find me on Apple Podcasts at ReligiosiTea! religiositea.buzzsprout.com/2453669/about #Religion #Spirituality #Health #PublicHealth #Podcast #SocialScience

Hell yeah, APHA!

I'm now following AMERICAN PUBLIC HEALTH ASSOCIATION v. OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET (Plaintiffs sued OMB and DOGE for violations of the Federal Advisory Committee Act.): View Full Case | Complaint #CL69559460

As someone who seriously studied political science & public policy & went to college for these subjects- but now I'm forced to somehow fit MAGA into that, I can only imagine how real doctors & scientists feel about being forced to relate to & interact with RFKJr on actual public health issues.

To all the queer people working in public health - how are you doing right now? It’s a unique intersection to be in at present. Let’s do a check-in ✨ #publichealth #lgbt #queer

I can’t believe how healthy we are already. This order applies to both students and staff.

The United States fell to a new low in 2024 on an index that tracks perception of global public-sector corruption, published Tuesday by the anti-corruption watchdog Transparency International.

The American Society of Microbiology @asm.org is taking down LGBTQ related content from its website. An *independent* *scientific* society is self-censoring to comply with openly discriminatory policies. What a disgrace. #IDSky #MicroSky

Oh good, "cultural heritage" is being flagged🏺🫠

Every single one of these orders and actions are straight from Project 2025. It's been online for nearly two years. They're literally just checking off the list. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

The State Department has fired about 60 contractors who work for its democracy, human rights and labor bureau, a division whose programs have often been criticized by authoritarian leaders, according to two U.S. officials and two former officials.

Last frontier alright.

Jesuit Priest 👇🏽

The US may have left WHO, but I’m still down to be your sneaky link. 😭 please keep keeping us informed on important global health matters 🙏

In a global first, Uganda’s Ministry of Health, the World Health Organization (WHO) and other partners today launched a first-ever vaccine trial for Ebola from the Sudan species of the virus, and at an unprecedented speed for a randomized vaccine trial in an emergency.🧵

Health experts say they're flying "absolutely blind" as Trump pauses work by US health agencies: "The true impact is more people get sick"

This is what connects MAHA to MAGA: wellness influencers believe no scientists or researchers ever thought about what health means or that chronic diseases were a problem. Nope, only RFK Jr had that insight.

We worked for months with USAID to build an $85,000,000 project to end TB in two regions of the Philippines. The project is funded by private money, the Philippine government, and matching USAID funds. It could provide a blueprint for eliminating TB worldwide--except it's...not happening.

You're not overwhelmed. You're under attack.

This is a national emergency:

“I spent all morning frantically downloading YRBS data. I can’t believe this is all happening,” Ariel Beccia, a researcher and instructor at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health focused on eating disorders in LGBTQ+ populations, wrote in an email. Later in the morning, the data disappeared.”

It’s official: all funding requests made on Tuesday by postdocs for their salaries have been unilaterally rejected by NSF.

RFK Jr had a rough two days. youtube.com/shorts/ZyIHj...

When’s it gonna click that MAHA has always been a grift?

All of the single or few-issue voters: your fixation on the singular or few issues you voted for doesn’t absolve you of voting for everything else that was clearly stated was in someone’s agenda just because you disagree. You still voted for that. Knowingly and willingly. Just a reminder. ✨

Please, please listen, I am literally begging you: I'm a healthcare lawyer who is alive because of Medicaid. I just came from Hill meetings about Medicaid. I'm very plugged into "the groups" — if you're covered by Medicaid, do not cancel anything medical because of the OMB mess.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”

Sadly, this isn’t the first time I’ve heard about a big anti-vaxxer vaccinating their own children.

It only takes one scroll to get to the name Heather Scott.

The backlash to pandemic-era policies continues. "Vaccination bills are popping up in more than 15 states as lawmakers aim to potentially resurrect or create new religious exemptions from immunization mandates..." shorturl.at/FfcZA

A good study environment is crucial for successful studying. I have limited distraction, good temp, access to coffee, and wordless slow-tempo music playing as I knock out these required readings 🤓 #GradSchool #DoctoralStudent

Breaking News: The Supreme Court agreed to hear a case that could move the line between church and state in education, as the justices said they would take up a case about a plan to create the nation’s first religious charter school paid for by taxpayer funds.

Idk much about astrology and retrogrades and planet phases but I'm pretty sure the one bumming you out is earth. It's earth.

PSA: this sort of heretical nonsense (him, not her) it’s going to be seeping out of the woodwork… a lot While I recommend avoiding conversational rabbit-holes with hate mongers, always call out their shenanigans

The conflation of asylum seeking with illegal immigration is an insidious tool of the media and government to “otherize” entire populations of people.
