HHS Secretary RFK Jr. is a danger to the public’s health and should resign or be fired, says APHA. In just a few short weeks, his actions on vacccines, fluoride and other public health science have shown how wrong he is for the job. Read & share our statement: apha.org/news-and-med...

I have been an American for 51 years by right of my birth on American soil. And for 51 years, I have never been on my knees, and I’m not going to start now. Never Give Up, Never Surrender, Never Back Down. #HandsOff Stamford.

I don't use Signal, but in WhatsApp, I can see when a new person has been added to a group chat, and by whom. Anyone confirm that's the same in Signal?

Ukraine is Europe! We stand by Ukraine. We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor. Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

January 24th, 2025 was the day that Target announced it’s rolling back DEI efforts. Keep up the good work.

Okay, this has gone on for long enough. In less than 60 seconds I break down why we MUST remove this administration. Pass it on. Someone has to say it.

“I will abstain from all intentional wrong-doing and harm". Sen Bill Cassidy swore this under oath, then voted to confirm RFK Jr. as Secretary of HHS. Now critical meetings about vaccines are being cancelled. Cassidy is corrupt fraud who pretended to be concerned and then screwed over the US.

A reminder for everyone as you look into the largest and most blatant power grab in U.S.A. history with Trump’s latest EO “ENSURING ACCOUNTABILITY FOR ALL AGENCIES”

'Women Refusing To Be Erased' was started due to the recent actions in the U.S. trying to rewrite history and subjugate women. SHARE/REPOST #womeninscience #womeninstem @awisnational.bsky.social @womeninstem.bsky.social @demwomencaucus.bsky.social @demwomen.bsky.social womenrefusingtobeerased.org

This is a very heavy day for us. To those who lost their jobs, we are with you and will work with you again. To those struggling to see a future for our work, do not give up. Real change in public health has always been a battle. Now it’s a war. We will win it. This is our country. #RISEUP

Perhaps we need to reframe DEI as Anti-Bias, and then if the far-right try to boogeyman Anti-Bias, we can slam them for being Pro-Bias. Would that work, #AcademicSky?

According to NOAA/Dept of Commerce, there are maritime limits and boundaries. nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/data/us-mari... Still listed here with the correct name, too. Complain to Google... fake labels.

Today's DOGE target: Natl Ctr for Education Statistics, nces.ed.gov the federal statistical agency responsible for collecting, analyzing & reporting data on the condition of U.S. education to help improve student outcomes. www.edweek.org/policy-polit... A war on evidence-based practice. Brilliant

Rough week as a 20+ year public servant. But at least I got a #50501 lunch break with my BFF 💙

State Departments of Public Health received a letter today through the Federal grants reporting tool, from the CDC. The letter is ordering compliance of the DEI EO issued by Trump "to immediately terminate, to the maximum extent, all programs, personnel, activities or contracts promoting DEI."
