BERNIE: “Trump, Musk, and the oligarchy are moving us towards authoritarianism and the privatization of every government agency… millions of people all over 🇺🇸 need to stand up to it.” Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGPQky6...

Post from a real doctor who is a federal employee.

I wonder why we aren't hearing news about this in the US? bbc.com/news/article...

Current mood-abject despair regarding the attacks on science, healthcare, human rights, environmental causes...I could go on. And it's only 3 weeks in.

Shocker, they didn't think this would affect them.....and now that it is, they are concerned

Europe unifying without the US. To potentially go against us?

NEW: The CDC is currently removing all the influenza resources from their website during the worst flu season in decades.

90% of unvaccinated people who are exposed to measles will be infected. Measles can also wipe out your body's immunity to other illnesses. This is very scary for unvaccinated, immunocompromised and I completely vaccinated people.

“The risk associated with measles infection is much greater than the sum of its observable symptoms. Measles virus is especially dangerous because it has the ability to destroy what’s been earned: immune memory from previous infections”. asm.org/articles/201...

The Texas measles outbreak has now spread to New Mexico, with three cases reported.

My guess is that Oklahoma will be the next state after NM affected by the Texas measles outbreak. There is the geographical proximity, and there is also the fact that in 2024, only 89% of OK kindergartners were vaccinated with MMR. www.cdc.gov/schoolvaxvie...

What a cluster...

CDC cuts expected to devastate the Epidemic Intelligence Service. There's never a good time for this. www.statnews.com/2025/02/14/t...

If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%. I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

Gutting USAID threatens billions of dollars for U.S. farms and businesses. U.S. businesses that sold goods and services to USAID are in limbo, including American farms dealing in rice, wheat and soybeans purchased as food aid.

Absolutely brutal scroll on Fox.

YEP.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Sharing this here as CDC information is rapidly disappearing. This is terrifying.

Is this for real? He thinks there's like some huge faucet of water getting turned on?!

Excellent post

We don't need to protect kids. Are we great yet, America?!

State controlled scientific information. This is terrifying.

It's the McCarthy era all over again.

We just turned the clock back 60 years...

Gotta love the British press.

This is frankly terrifying. They don't want medical professionals and scientists to communicate with one another.

Reprehensible. Let's not try to prevent school shootings. Oh but we care so much about kids that we will prosecute doctors offering abortion care because balls of cells=kids? Hmmm

Heartless. Cruel.

Trump’s White House just withdrew the US from the Paris Climate Agreement and World Health Organization. This shameful embrace of science denial puts the entire world at greater risk of climate catastrophe and deadly pandemics.

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

Trump cannot abrogate birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment by way of executive order. That’s not how constitutional rights work.

Friendly reminder that if you buy a book on Kindle, you're only paying for the rights to read, not own. If a book truly gets banned, it will be taken away from digital platforms like Kindle, nook, etc. Consider getting physical copies of banned (or other) books! READ BANNED BOOKS #booksky

It’s important to be clear that TikTok could have stayed up through the inauguration. Joe Biden said he’d not enforce the law. They made a choice to shut down and display a pro-Trump message. They weren’t forced to.

Donald Trump launched a crypto currency. This is going to go down in history as the most corrupt self centered President in history. I PROMISE

Because puppies...
