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.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

You: Look at Black artists during this difficult time and how they're creating and spreading joy. Me, Black artist: I have a show tonight and I don't want to put on pants. I wonder how much I can talk about suicide during an 8 minute set without freaking out the audience.

As I wrote in Chapter 6 of my book Damaged People...If you support Trump and his degradation and vitriol toward foreigners, immigrants, minority populations, and predominantly black and brown countries, then you are either racist or indifferent to racism and bigotry, which is no better.

Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who agrees that a bunch of fucking 19-year old randos named "Big Balls" should not have access to our most sensitive information, and that should be a bipartisan issue. This is a national security crisis waiting to happen.

Just two weeks ago, everyone was screeching about China stealing all of our data through TikTok, but now Elon steals it and the MAGA crisis actors are OK with it? That's some fucking bullshit.

Where are the defenders of the US as Elon and nameless private agents infiltrate US agencies, commandeer US servers, steal US data, seize US money, march US officials from US buildings? Who sallies forth from the FBI? The CIA? Congress? DoD? The media? This is a coup—and America appears defenseless.

Good morning and Happy Sunday to everyone who puts 100% of the blame on idiot trump for the high prices we have now, especially since he promised to LOWER them immediately -- instead, his idiotic tariffs will push them even HIGHER. We fucking WARNED you he was full of shit.

Remember: The tariffs aren’t about economics, and DOGE isn’t about fiscal responsibility. They are both about ••psychopathology**.

If you told me that the sole purpose of this administration was to cause the country to collapse I would be on board with that explanation and have no evidence to offer to the contrary

A must-read. This’d be worth creating a Facebook account just to read—and I know what a claim that is to make. It’s a bracing essay about Elon Musk by someone very close to him. (This is very much _not_ about me, of course, but I’ll say that if you ever doubted my writing on Musk, this will help.)

Looking back on my old art I realize I took myself way too seriously for the level I was at. Fortunately my artist friends never discouraged me. Encourage your art friends. Even if their work is rough and amateur. #inspiration #encourage #art

The bird flu is spreading to more than 50 mammal species and putting food supplies at risk. H5N1 is airborne and spread by migratory birds, making it hard to control. Despite culling millions of birds, the virus spreads, raising prices and increasing human cases. This is a global health crisis.

As American journalists start writing about the Nazi salute that Elon Musk just gave twice on camera, it's essential that they contextualize it for readers as part of a years-long course of publicly embracing antisemitic politicians and causes. They better not dare pretend this was a one-off event.

Uhh...that's not how government works? What is this document even supposed to be? How can an executive order unilaterally execute market shifts by fiat? I guess what I really mean is, is there anyone who was involved in this EO who _thinks_ that's how this works? If so, how are they still employed?
