BREAKING: The USDA has confirmed five additional dairy herds in California have tested positive for the virus, raising the total to 732. Currently, 74% of the state's dairy herds are infected with H5N1.

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.

Wise man…

He nails it.

For almost a decade now, right wing Nationalists across the globe, especially in Canada and the US have been dismantling systems of accountability. They spread misinformation and created an atmosphere of fear and confusion. Capitalizing on human vulnerability. Now look what’s around you.

Right at the end here, Bernie says the thing that everyone who believes in the Constitution must say: the United States under Donald Trump is careening into authoritarianism.

You aren’t seeing Black folks at protests because we know Trump will use us as an excuse to start violence—to justify martial law. Black folks, stay home. Be in peace. Our time will come. Everyone else, peacefully protest, but understand we won’t be human shields or targets! Don’t ask that of us.

Yes, the employee at McDonald’s should be able to afford rent, groceries, bills, health care and retirement plans with their paycheck alone. That’s what jobs are for.

Musk and Trump are fascist ghouls-

Wife was a probationary employee let go over the weekend. She was a researcher with CMMI. If anyone has leads on jobs for a PhD social science researcher with an expertise in Medicare, Medicaid, and private health insurance, please let me know!

Dear Canada, Don't sweat it. We're booing here, too. Sincerely, Decent Americans

Banned/challenged books are often difficult reads with jarring content, but we can't shield ourselves nor our children from the realities of the world forever - it's better to build empathy and understanding through books, especially by reading books by/about marginalized people.

Americans have coveted Canada for a long time. Benedict Arnold tried to seize Québec in the 4th major battle of the Revolutionary War. It was a long walk home for him. With fewer friends. 🇨🇦 🇺🇸

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

Nothing that helps a fellow human being is wasteful.

Imagine actually thinking that a disability accommodation is an unfair advantage.
