So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

When he declares himself king, he is insulting you—and the nation. You have rights. The government is YOURS. And our loyalty is to the Constitution—the profound and fundamental essence of our nation. Not him. True patriots don’t bow down to kings.

Good demonstrating and standing up against Trump & Musk overreach aka coup today in Portland, Oregon. Representatives from Senator Wyden, Senator Merkley, and Representative Dexter's offices spoke and energized us. Poup on the coup, y'all! #stopthecoup #indivisible

Elon Musk's mother moved to South Africa in the year Apartheid was created, and she and Elon left the year it ended. The last Apartheid Prime Minister, a man who refused to testify at the Truth and Reconciliation Committee, was a family friend who stayed at their home. This is not a crazy theory.

The richest man on Earth, whose wealth has been heavily subsidized by billions of dollars in government contracts, spent a fortune putting Trump in the White House. But it's not enough to just have the president's ear — now he'll have office space next to him too? Oligarchy.

Not a great head space the past few days given both the metaphorical and horrifyingly real fires of 2025 — but my Libby hold on “What If We Get It Right” just came in, and damn if the buoyant optimism of @ayanaeliza.bsky.social hasn’t recalibrated my hopometer. It’s a life raft for climate despair.

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind? It's not because of immigrants, trans people, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP. It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

This bill is just the start of the President-Elect’s purge. We cannot afford to undo the progress this country has made.
