“So let me get this straight, he wants contracts for cancer research cancelled but says let[’s] keep contracts for his company SpaceX to do research. Greedy billionaire trying to ripoff [sic] the American people pretending to be altruistic is all I see,” said Rep. @ilhanmn.bsky.social

The top health care companies in America spent 95% of their profits to make their CEOs & stockholders obscenely rich. How many Americans would be alive today if those companies spent $2.6 trillion on disease prevention and primary care, instead of stock buybacks and dividends?

The American Bar Association has just called upon every attorney, regardless of their political views, to join them & stand up for the rule of law & at minimum insist that our government "follow the law." Every lawyer has an ethical responsibility to do so. www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

🚨Measles mounts in an undervaccinated Texas county. Hospitalizations & 9 cases. Many more expected. This may be the first big outbreak of 2025 but probably not the last, with vaccine misinformation espoused at the highest levels of government. My latest: kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

You absolutely are not allowed to be in charge of science funding if you don’t know the difference between transgenic and transgender, and you should probably lose your $175/yr taxpayer job if you’re this bad at it

Firing top prosecutors and FBI agents. Deporting farmworkers who feed us. Letting billionaire oligarchs vandalize government agencies & access private data. There is a pattern to this corrupt behavior. Give Trump more power. Give the billionaires more money. Give you nothing.

I just voted NO on RFK Jr. to lead HHS. None of his empty promises could undo the harm his past statements have already had on people’s health. He’s a flip-flopper, a conspiracy peddler, and a danger to our country. He’s driven by self-interest, not by protecting Americans.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Yes. This has always been the point of the design. Anyone can express vague approval with a rainbow flag pin. If you mark yourself as a safe person that means more than simply not hurting. It means sticking your neck out to protect. It means using your privilege.

As doctors and nurses, it is our moral duty to care for every person who walks through the door & needs medical help. Allowing ICE to raid hospitals & clinics is immoral and will lead to needless suffering & death. Reading this made me cry...what nation have we become? #medsky

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research. I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.
