"All we say to America is, 'Be true to what you said on paper.'" These words — spoken by MLK Jr. shortly before he was killed on this day in 1968 — ring just as true now. Let's honor his legacy by continuing the fight for social and economic justice.

Or - here's an idea - we take the time to learn how the system currently works and thoughtfully and thoroughly review where processes and programs can be streamlined FIRST, before just firing people and traumatizing them and the public

Nationwide protests will be taking place this Saturday! Join in at the Utah State capital @12

From fluoride bans to staff cuts… it’s been a hard week in public health.

This Saturday 👇

For folks who are unable to make it to UAC's town hall in person tonight, check in with us on YouTube beginning at 7pm! youtube.com/live/7Adx1a9...

When the world pulls you in a million directions—notifications buzzing, emails stacking up, and responsibilities piling on—it’s easy to put yourself last. But here’s the truth: taking care of your mental health isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity.

I already want to move to Canada - stop rubbing it in!

Protect yourself and your loved ones from measles! This virus spreads very easily, even before symptoms appear. Make sure you're protected with the MMR vaccine, which is over 97% effective in preventing measles.

@msnbc.com Please don't cancel #TheReidOut!! Joy has a truly unique perspective and way of framing situations for easier public understanding and is so easy to listen to/watch. While The Weekend crew and Jen Psaki seem to be talented, they are not fun to watch and I turn the channel away every time!

El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

Trump and Musk report the government is rife with fraud and infested with parasites. Well have they tried ivermectin? What about bleach? Or waiting until April-it could go away with the heat? Stop looking for fraud cases-you won't find as many. 🤔 #whitehousefraudresponseteam

The hardest part about public health is that when we succeed, there's no crisis, no epidemic. People carry on with daily life, unaware of a near-miss. We may never know how bad it could have been - because our public health workforce is always taking action to avoid, prevent, and control threats.

What if history just didn't repeat itself, for once?

I know, I've said this before, but: if Joe Biden made Selena Gomez a "special government employee," she blocked all appropriated funding for ICE and their grants/contracts, and then started posting about how DHS didn't exist, nobody would doubt that was all unconstitutional and illegal.

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

Oh, FFS! 🙄🤬

This is Alan. He has recently encountered his first house. Does not know where to stand, what to do, or where the sky went. But other than that thinks it's going pretty well. 12/10

Very nervous times as the new WH admin attempts to freeze federal grants & loans to untold numbers of worthy non-profits, moves to eliminate key positions in the OIG and puts large numbers of federal workers on notice to resign. Why is this relevant to dogs? As one example … (More)

We are proud to share that @aphapublichealth.bsky.social has filed suit to block the freeze.

🚨If your senator is below, call them “No on RFK Jr” (202) 224-3121 • Booker (D-NJ) • Cortez Masto (D-NV) • Whitehouse (D-RI) • Murkowski (R-AK) • Ernst (R-IA) • McConnell (R-KY) • Cassidy (R-LA) • Collins (R-ME) • Tillis (R-NC) • Lankford (R-OK) • Cornyn (R-TX) • Curtis (R-UT) • Moore Capito (R-WV)

Having flashbacks to "there won't be more COVID cases if we don't test for them"... 😡

If you’re afraid that books might change someone’s thinking, you’re not afraid of books, you’re afraid of thinking.

Christians who are upset about what Bishop Mariann Budde said have told on themselves. Showing mercy and compassion to the least of these is literally the teachings of Jesus. They follow power not Christ. They preach nationalism and not the Gospel.

NPR Exclusive: The Episcopal bishop of Washington spoke with NPR to discuss her sermon addressing President Trump and why she asked him to have mercy.

Who wore it better? Fry or Badger?

Regulations exist to protect what cannot protect itself!

probably worth remembering that most of Trump's executive orders will be symbolic, not-legally-enforceable bullshit and you should: - follow non-sensationalist sources for analysis - wait to panic until things shake out a bit

“When women are free to make their own decisions about their lives and to follow our dreams, we are unstoppable.” Cecile was a force of nature. May her memory be a blessing. 19thnews.org/2025/01/ceci...

Watching so many people having spent money to go to the inauguration, and then Trump canceling it because he’s worried about the pictures and small crowds, is a perfect picture of his whole relationship with his supporters. They give and give, he takes and takes.

It’s Saturday! Use the weekend to mentally prepare yourself for next week!

We thrilled to welcome our very first Critically Endangered Somali wild ass foal! Born 1/14 to mom Daisy and first-time dad Kamowa, this little one has already become a beloved member of our animal family. Learn more: denverzoo.org/zootales/dzc...

The president-elect had expressed concern that Democrats seemed happy to see the flag lowered during the inauguration ceremony despite the tradition of lowering flags after a president's death.
