During Oz’s failed 2022 bid for the U.S. Senate, “he called to expand Medicare Advantage, [which is] run by private insurers who have been accused of defrauding the government by billions of dollars.”

I think it’s not helpful to repeat claims that the administration is working on eliminating “DEIA” as though it’s some kind of corporate strategy; just say explicitly that they’re trying to eliminate diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, and explain how.

You know, they never stop at one group. Never. They come for one, they (eventually) come for all. They start with the smallest because they know the others will go about their business, thinking it will never happen to them. We should all be thinking about this. Because they will get to you.

They investigated Zika, anthrax, Ebola—now they’re out. CDC’s Epidemic Intelligence Service officers were among thousands let go as the administration downsizes federal health agencies. Dr. Schuchat calls it a serious blow to public safety. What’s the plan to protect us from emerging threats now?

Proud supporter of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. I'm not interested in recognizing deplorables who are against Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). Trying to remove DEI exposes the racist, the sexist, and the bigot who can't compete when a more level playing field is established.

I'm feeling as if my plate is full between trying to be active on three newer social media platforms I've migrated to, staying informed on tyrannical moves by evil actors, and plotting diabolical superhero responses.

Can someone ask Trump which stage of “Make America Great Again” this is?

A friend of mine is a medical researcher and there was a big morning meeting today telling everyone to lock down all their social media and move all their communications to encrypted platforms in order to avoid being targeted by the government. Thanks for all this freedom, Trump voters!

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we must recommit ourselves to educating each other about the horrors of the Holocaust — and fight back against authoritarianism. There isn't "too much focus on past guilt." There's a blatant attempt to rewrite the atrocities of the past.

Power corrupts, but cowardice corrupts more completely. Zuckerberg had every resource needed to stand up to Trump's assault on American institutions. He chose weak-willed, flaccid submission in its place.

Habitant of the Pacific NW. I enjoy adventures on the least populated paths. Campfires, swims in lakes, & on a good day a freshly caught trout for dinner. Urban explorer & outdoor events. Enjoy people who are calm, collected, and the well-mannered. Advocate for equality & our diverse neighbors.

Arrived at the Bluesky campground, started setting up my campsite, and seeing how the first night goes. Already recognize a few campers. Hopefully the platform will be a more comfortable fit than the Facebook campsite I am hoping to leave behind.
