Federal layoffs are reshaping the landscape—Arcturus IMC is here to help businesses navigate the shift. From marketing strategy to crisis comms, we turn uncertainty into opportunity. Read our latest insights in the bio, and let’s chart your next move together. www.arcturusimc.com

The way companies communicate is broken. AI, noise, and outdated PR models are dragging brands down. We’re changing that. Read how: arcturusimc.com/the-communic... #CorporateComms #PR #ArcturusIMC

So, if 200,000 federal employees were fired, that would represent approximately 0.059% of the U.S. population as of this week. I’m not an economist, but the thought of an incoming recession, wouldn’t be a surprise, right?

He’s still fighting for us and a future to believe in. 🐦🇺🇸 @sanders.senate.gov

Alarming—I knew of 3 studies set for publication, but not that they covered #H5N1 spread between cats & people. Without these data, we’re endangering millions of lives. The administration slammed #China for #COVID19 secrecy & used it to justify leaving @who.int Now, they’re doing the same.

Dropped into the inky black of Cocom cave today—what starts as a shadowy, eerie descent soon opens into vast white cathedrals, every turn revealing new formations. Huge thanks to Emoke for guiding us through this breathtaking system and to godivemexico for their hospitality and support.

Nothing completes the “unprecedented events” timeline for millennials quite like a Biff-lookalike Boomer clutching on to power while his nerdy trench coat-wearing Gen X sidekick “hacks” his way up the power ladder.

Tulum isn’t just beaches and ruins—it’s fire, smoke, and history. The Maya saw huitlacoche not as rot, but as a gift. Cochinita pibil slow-cooked in earth, tortillas pressed by hands that remember. Eat with respect. Taste with intention. Here, even decay has flavor, and history still breathes.

#Tuberculosis is curable! Tuberculosis is treated with antibiotics. To be effective, these medications need to be taken daily for 4–6 months. ⚠️ Stopping treatment early can lead to drug-resistant tuberculosis. Learn more bit.ly/3Vo428E #EndTB

For all federal employees: Before you are locked out of your systems, ensure you have copies of unclassified performance appraisals, awards & other relevant personnel docs. If you have access to your office, grab your more important personal items sooner rather than later.

This is a big deal, y'all. Federal health websites are being stripped of content or removed in their entirety. Stick with this thread for a look at what's disappeared so far! 1/x

First time I'd run across this notice. (Many of CDC's public-facing dashboards are still up, and being updated though more irregularly.)

If you weren’t clear: a President ordering a Federal health and disease agency to delete pages on its website is a public health crisis.

Breaking: Data.gov dropping datasets fast I just checked, it has a steady and big increase in datasets until Jan 21, 2025, at 307,854 datasets web.archive.org/web/20250120...

Study finds that people believe others are more affected by COVID-19 misinformation than themselves, and media literacy increases preventive behaviors and corrective actions. #MisinfoResearch www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1...

@corybooker.com hello I used to run the Wendy’s Twitter account and I am begging you to let me help you with the dems social media strategy, I will literally do it for free at this point

When a crisis hits, leadership matters. The FAA, NTSB, and first responders were doing their jobs—but instead of supporting them, the Trump administration turned the tragedy into a political spectacle. Here’s why that response was reckless, and how businesses can prepare.

I was really looking forward to this week's #H5N1 situation update from the CDC before all health information from the federal government went dark. Several flocks of chickens, turkeys, ducks are testing positive for #H5N1 and being culled in multiple states. www.whio.com/news/local/b...

Speaking of healthcare. Let's make @bsky.app the platform that fights misinformation. Some great follows are @drsusanoliver.bsky.social @jsm2334.bsky.social @therealtruther.bsky.social Let's get them more followers and engagement than other platforms and let health science accounts find a home

Every week, I check the CDC's Mortality and Morbidity Weekly Report. This week for the first time in its 60 years it was not published on schedule. American healthcare workers all over the country are less informed about health crises that affect their patients. CDC led reports matter a 🧵

PEPFAR is one of the most successful global health programs ever It provides HIV treatment for 20 million people And now it faces a funding delay of up to 6 months Without access to treatment, HIV can rebound in less than a month. This is self-defeating stupidity. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/24/u...

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

I'm unsure if Blue Sky has a “cat tax,” so I might as well err on the side of caution. Here’s Cousteau, my current EA. 😺
