This is unconscionable. Martins is just another tool for the FELON looking to silence any and all critics. (Has he checked Truth Social posts lately for all the threats the Orange menace has made??

THE RESIST LIST IS HERE. Proud my team just started this @resistlist.bsky.social, which will list actions that happened and that are slated to happen.

I hope Sen Bill Cassidy is really feeling good about his vote to confirm RFK Jr, who said today “nothing is off the table” when it comes to the #vaccine schedule. So how’s that measles outbreak going?

This is being done as a precursor to using US troops on civilian protestors. Hegseth is making sure people who will follow illegal orders to murder US citizens are in charge.

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

ATTENTION FEDS In NM et al v Musk, the judge denied a TRO against DOGE firings due to lack of evidence of immediate and irreparable harm. Attorneys are asking us for evidence of harm to states (including individuals) due to firing/cancelled services. Message altcdc.99 on signal for submission email

An unconscionable post from Donald Trump about Zelenskyy, in which he calls him a "dictator" and threatens Ukraine's existence.

“I am all for making our government more efficient, but firing nurses and pharmacists who keep families healthy, disease experts who protect us from the next pandemic, and scientists finding cures for cancer is not what Americans signed up for…This will make Americans less healthy & safe — not more”

I highly recommend attending this talk if you can! @marynmck.bsky.social is a fantastic journalist & interviewer, and @adamratnermd.bsky.social is a highly respected pediatrician & infectious disease specialist who wrote Booster Shots. humanhealth.emory.edu/events/livin...

Looking to talk with federal employees with disabilities who were terminated this weekend, especially folks hired through Schedule A or disabled veterans. Please boost! #disability #journorequest

Sure would be a shame to share this…

Senate Democrats have the power to block federal contracts to Tesla and SpaceX. It’s the path to pushing Musk out of politics.

Here are the GOP members of the Senate Finance Committee--consider going to their LOCAL office this week and exhorting them to figure out why DOGE is in your financial records.

Last night, we broke the news that the top US election security watchdog has frozen all of its election security work and is reviewing everything it has done to help state and local officials secure their elections for the past eight years. https://wrd.cm/3QkfGh3

Sheryl Crow: “My parents always said you are who you hang out with. There comes a time when you have to decide who you are willing to align with. So long Tesla. Money donated to NPR, which is under threat by President Musk, in hopes the truth will…find its way to those willing to know [it].”

There’s a real chance that we staring down a new pandemic in the form of bird flu. It could never happen or happen in the coming months. And we are in the process of decimating our core national public health and infectious disease service.

This disclaimer on CDC websites is pure insanity and fantasy. Just because you "believe" something doesn't mean it's true.

Judge: “I want to encourage all of the providers in this state, in the state of Oregon and the state of Minnesota, who also joined this effort, to get back to work to continue to provide the medically necessary care for their children,." www.doj.state.or.us/media-home/n...

Doing the unthinkable: The deep cuts to the #CDC's workforce today are expected to decimate the Epidemic Intelligence Service, a program that has trained public health rapid responders for decades. Envy of the world. Poof! www.statnews.com/2025/02/14/t...

Federalist Society member who clerked for Scalia resigns because of DOJ corruption. MAGA: SHE’S A DEM PLANT!! You really, really can’t reason with the majority of these people.

@govkathyhochul.bsky.social Thank you for protecting the rights of all women and especially women in New York. #protectwomen

There have been plenty of corrupt mayors in NYC. But what @maddow.msnbc.com and others are reporting about mayor Adams may take the cake. Of course that’s why he went to Mar-a-lago. Good for those at SDNY and main Justice who put ethics first.

New EO put out to "Make America Healthy Again" has some notable language that seems to again speak to RFK's mistrust of pharmaceuticals and the current scientific process happening at US health agencies. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

This is good thehill.com/regulation/c...

FOR OBVIOUS REASONS, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE UP TO DATE ON YOUR VACCINATIONS NOW.

98% of NIH grants that should have gone out this month, didn't. Despite court orders 'unfreezing' the funds, they are frozen. Biomedical research will grind to a halt. Clinical trials will end. All for no reason: the total impact on the US budget is miniscule

"If and when Trump is incapacitated or dies, there will be a fight to fill his shoes. Like Stalin, Musk is taking steps to make sure he will be able to command key government agencies in that eventuality by setting up a parallel nongovernment institution under his direct control: DOGE."

Yes to this ⤵️From here on out every single thing that happens -like this measles outbreak-should be attached to trump & his co-conspirators.

Thank goodness for the American Medical Association. Here is their YouTube page. Please share far and wide. Right now bird flu is spreading throughout our country and most people have no clue. Please stay updated and bookmark this page for your health and well-being. www.youtube.com/@americanmed...

If this is a direct quote, it's one of the most irresponsible and reckless things a SECDEF has ever said

In case this won't be reported, Senate Dems are holding the floor for 30 hours to try to stall the RFK Vote! Here's the press release from Wyden's office.
