As the Senate’s resident privacy hawk I have to recommend against giving Donald Trump your most sensitive health data

Penny loves a beach day 💕 #corgi #corgicrew

Odd how these supposed violent immigrants are all being arrested at elementary school graduations, seeking day work outside Home Depot, or working at local restaurants. Almost as if they are just hard working people trying to support families and not in fact criminals.

Immigrants and refugees make LA and the USA great. Sending militarized and masked police and ICE to arrest them makes the USA worse. And sending in the National Guard and threatening to use the Marine Corps and holding a military parade to glorify a president…that’s fascism.

Cruel

RFK Jr. ordered the NIH’s Integrated Research Facility in Frederick to stop all research on serious infectious diseases yesterday at 5:00 PM. They study pathogens like Ebola there. You may be familiar with it from The Hot Zone. www.wired.com/story/hhs-ni...

Two headlines in the New York Times today.

Met the sweetest corgi/mini aussie baby and I'm in love 😍 #corgi #corgicrew #aussie

Can't stress enough how important the DVH laboratory is for state health departments and for the American people. #publichealth

if we can't riot about concentration camps what can we riot about

We just glossin over the eugenics or what?

In 2022, over 3 million children died from #AMR -related #infectiousdisease. Use of last-resort antibiotics rose sharply, prompting urgent calls for global #OneHealth surveillance, national stewardship programs, and stricter antibiotic use guidelines. www.news-medical.net/news/2025041...

My 5 yo son knows he's not supposed to touch knives and he's pretty risk-averse. But you can still imagine my surprise when we woke up to discover he had used a Lincoln Log to spread Nutella on his waffle this morning. #parenting #preschool #resourceful

Penny had her first spa day and was a sweet girl for our groomer. I suspect the comedic number of cookies helped 💅🏼 #corgi #corgicrew

MMR vaccine can be administered for up to three days after a measles exposure to reduce the risk of severe disease and hospitalization. Immunoglobulin can have a similar effect up to 6 days post-exposure. I’ve seen nothing from RFK Jr. about these key strategies.

And we’ve disbanded our bird flu and other pandemic response teams because this administration has so much successful experience managing infectious diseases

salem, oregon 4.5.25

thinking about the amount of context necessary to explain to someone from 2010 what people are protesting with signs reading "cheap eggs not measles" or "tax the rich, not the penguins"

if you see a funny post by a woman, remember that women are not funny and she is being serious. you must reply seriously. write up a whole thread explaining her post's premise back to her, in her own replies. if she appears knowledgeable on the subject? she is not. you need to correct her.

All schools should be required to teach skills that benefit individuals & the nation. How to prepare taxes. How to change a tire / spark plug. How to bake bread. How to successfully charge and prosecute a white man for crimes. Etc.

Today's Headlines

IDC what any of you buffoons say, Midnight Mass is a great work of horror and I will fight you. #mikeflanagan #horror

Drug-resistant Candida auris fungus is an urgent #AMR threat, spreading rapidly in healthcare facilities. U.S. cases rose from 51 in 2016 to 4,514 in 2023. It poses a serious risk to hospitalized patients, transmitting easily and resisting antifungal treatments. www.silive.com/health/2025/...

What the actual fuck are democrats even doing? We're floundering here you elected fucks.

Rebellions are built on hope.

Since January, SpaceX has received over $560 million in government contracts—an amount projected to surpass $2 billion in taxpayer funding by year’s end, averaging roughly $6.1 million per day. Follow the money and see where it goes.

Bleak time to work in public health, especially the infectious disease world. When we do our job, it's invisible labor. We owe a lot to epidemiologists and infection prevention professionals. The consequences of dismantling this already under-resourced system will be catastrophic #publichealth #cdc

I wish people hated fascism half as much as they hate feminism

The move targets $11.4 billion in Covid-related funds across the U.S.

We can confirm that CDC (Trump/DOGE) is making massive cuts to states. State and local health departments rely on federal funds to provide services. Immediate termination of grants, effective today, as well as steep cuts to COVID funds. We will update as we learn the full extent.

Incredible. Children shot in school is an inevitable tragedy deserving of thoughts and prayers, but vandalizing a Tesla is a crime worthy of swift action. I fucking hate it here.

In case you, like me, are a high-anxiety human who missed this piece of moderately reassuring news: Despite many broken things, the FDA *did* make a flu shot recommendation for this fall. www.cnn.com/2025/03/13/h...

This comprehensive toolkit gives advice on respiratory diseases like COVID-19, flu, and pneumonia, with a focus on prevention in elderly. It covers symptoms, vaccines, treatments, #AMR, prevention strategies, and when to seek medical help. #infectiousdisease www.health.gov.au/resources/pu...

unpopular stance: ACAB includes Scully but not Mulder, because there's absolutely no way Fox Mulder understands what the law really is or that his job is to enforce it. he has less capacity for moral cognition than a K9 unit.

The terrible CR Budget bill — written by right-wing House Republicans with no input from anybody but themselves — was passed tonight with the support of 10 Democrats.   An absolute failure of Democratic leadership. NOBODY in the Senate should have voted for this dangerous bill.
