RFK Jr is now in charge of U.S. public health. A man who founded an anti-vaccine group and pushed discredited conspiracy theories will now oversee the CDC, FDA, and Medicare. Not a single Democrat voted for him. Even McConnell voted no. This isn’t about health—it’s about Trump’s war on science.

I really love it when men show exactly why they’re trash. In this case, it’s the entitlement to my time, being butthurt over a random woman’s opinions, and the mansplaining. 😂 Not exactly sure why I need scientific consensus to share my opinion that I think most men are trash, but ok bro, go off!

You were saying?

#Flu is getting hot and heavy. #CDC reports an upward trend in positive tests, we just detected a bunch of cases in child care centers in our MITIGATE FLU study, and my kid says "everyone" at high school is sick. www.cdc.gov/fluview/surv...

If you feel like everyone is sick right now, you are right. Flu is doing something unusual - outpatient visits just hit 7.0%, surpassing January's peak. substack.com/home/post/p-...

And now they are using the military to evict legally employed American citizens from the workplaces…

Note - This kind of violent language is dangerous - there are baseless accusations and conspiracy theories being leveled at USAID and its employees that puts these people at risk or personal harm too.

Holy shit. This was posted on Twitter yesterday BEFORE the crash.

So. The Potomac Crash It wasn't DEI. It was DOGE. Not your first crash, right, Elon Musk?

Why has the right rushed to politicize the LA fires? In part because attention is the currency and attacking the left a guaranteed money-maker. But in part because saying "climate change" is interpreted as a political assertion from the left. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Homes lost, animals and communities burnt.This isn't about politics, likes, or anything of the sort. These #LAfires are a real tragedy. Please check on the people you love. Sadly many don't have fire insurance,because companies 've been cancelling policies in CA. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

An estimated 30k people have had to evacuate from Los Angeles so far…. One local news woman got choked up live on air minutes ago when trying to put into words how massive and devastating these fires are…. And it’s hardly over… with multiple fires nowhere near full containment. #lafires
