"Rural hospital leaders in Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Mississippi, Missouri and Texas who spoke to The Washington Post warned that the enormous cuts congressional Republicans are weighing could further destroy limited health-care access in rural America..." www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

“What’s transpired over the last three or four days just takes it to a whole new level of cruelty and inhumanity and, frankly, a whole new level of stupidity in doing this is the most non-strategic way.” Tens of thousands of people will die as a result of this action. www.salon.com/2025/02/28/a...

Fuck yeah we are!

Release the White House pharmacy dispensing logs if you want to see where fentanyl comes from

Not the first person to make this observation, but it's so striking how the media covered the crack epidemic as a problem caused by black/urban drug users and the fentanyl epidemic as a problem imposed externally on white/rural drug users.

You can't keep a fired fed down! GREAT new initiative launched in part by former #USAID Science Fellows! Check them out and take the survey! fedscienceimpacts.org

Anthe HHS Secretary is posting pictures from California hikes while a measles outbreak rages.

for our "alt" friends @altnps.bsky.social @altcdc.altgov.info @altfda.altgov.info @alt-hhs.altgov.info @altdoge.bsky.social @altusepa.org

Good info from Austin, TX on measles, the MMR vaccine, and how to access it.

MTG is a stupid piece of shit @meidastouch.com Just like the stupidly of RFK Jr telling people to take Vitamin A, which is toxic in high and continued amounts @altcdc.altgov.info @alt-hhs.altgov.info

Hantavirus, wow, only 2 to 3 cases a year in New Mexico on average with 38%-50% mortality.

(1/2) “The Trump administration’s plan to conduct mass firings of VA employees—more than a quarter of whom are veterans themselves—is a betrayal of those who have served our country,”

Trump is dealing and his upcard is a 5

Holy 💩!

🚨“The government shouldn’t be in the business of firing Veterans and ‘fixing it later.’ I don’t trust that it will.” Marie Harf calls out Trump & Musk for gutting VA jobs while Musk rakes in millions from taxpayers. Cancer research, Veteran jobs, critical programs—slashed, with no plan to fix it.

From my DMs, check out this official press release from EPA. It reads like it was written by an angry teenager. The pettiness of the Administration is filtering down. I am embarrassed about where we are. To all the career EPA civil servants, you deserve better.

IT’S WORKING!!!! KEEP SHOWING UP, MAKING YOUR VOICES HEARD!!!

Now I did prefer the flavor of fast food fries when they were fried in lard,but yeah, being on atorvaststin in my rapidly approaching elder years, I'm with the nutritionists on this one. This worm brained imbecile is going to be responsible for so much morbidity and mortality.

I can’t believe this needs to be said. TransGENIC mice are not TransGENDER mice

Trump Cuts Cause Gold Star Families to Face Losing Base Child Care Active Military/DoD civilians with children at base child care centers notified many employees took deferred resignation reducing the center’s child care capabilities Military.com www.military.com/daily-news/2...

This man's selfless generosity saved 2.4 million infants' lives. RIP If only more of us could be that giving and compassionate.

A true loss, the sudden departure at this time is not surprising.

This is a huge concern. People have been fired who have incredibly specialized skill sets that don’t transfer well to the private sector, and they still need to feed their families. It’s not like we have a robust retraining program for laid off feds!

Vitamin A is NOT a valid treatment or prevention for measles.

⚠️ Pet health alert⚠️ WSDA confirmed cases of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in cats, linked to contaminated pet food. If you have recently fed your pets Wild Coast Raw pet food, please check your supply and monitor your pets for any signs of illness.

RFK Jr said measles patients are hospitalized for quarantine. This is false. They are hospitalized with: •respiratory distress •pneumonia •dangerously high fever •encephalitis •severe dehydration from vomiting & diarrhea These are from measles, a serious illness. Preventable via vaccination.

(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The Daily Beast publishes a sourced allegation that Trump has been a Russian spy since 1987 and then—possibly under some form of threat—deletes it. But in an act of unusual heroism, it left it up long enough for Wayback Machine to capture it text. Here it is (please share):

Dan Caine, Trump’s new replacement for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, reportedly told Trump, “I love you, sir. I think you’re great, sir. I’ll kill for you, sir.” He also put on a MAGA hat, despite it violating military protocol.

Ridiculous. I wonder if he has a case against DOGE, because we need people with standing to sue. Congress has made it ABUNDANTLY clear that they’re not going to do THEIR job, so all we have left is the judiciary, and even that’s shaky. But it’s better than nothing.

“Operation Whirlwind” What’s Happening Now? In 2025, Operation Whirlwind was launched under Interim U.S. Attorney Ed Martin to investigate alleged threats against employees of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

VACCINES SAVE LIVES Vaccines ended the COVID-19 pandemic. Vaccines and other public health measures save the lives of millions of children worldwide. Do not let RFKJr and the Trump admin take us back to a time when 5 in 10 children died before the age of 5. theconversation.com/infectious-d...
