All probationary federal employees at NOAA’s EMC that’s responsible for keeping all US weather model systems running have been fired with 1 hours notice. And that includes me and colleagues. We will not go quietly because we care about the NOAA mission to protect the public.

I will remind folks every day for as long as it takes until working class Americans hear it and act: Elon Musk called you, me, your grandma, little children, veterans, disabled folks, farmers, ALL OF US "the parasite class". Everything they're doing is to make us suffer and die. It's eugenics.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

I subsist on Social Security Disability/Medicare/Medicaid/SNAP. Medicaid pays the majority of my medications. Due to my disabilities & chronic illnesses I rely on 38 different medications annually. 1 of my medications for Lupus has slowed the progression of the disease. Without access I would die.😔

I need corporate America to give me Joanns back and close Hobby Lobby instead.

Seems fair enough.

#DontCutOurMedicaid to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. Pass it on.

We can’t forget who Vladimir Putin is: -Launched biggest land-war in Europe since Hitler -Kidnapped thousands of Ukrainian children -Tortured & killed Ukrainians -Assassinated enemies at home & abroad Putin is a dictator, not an ally.

Hey, local governments, pass laws in your states making it illegal to throw up a Nazi salute, like in Australia. Refuse to normalize the Nazi takeover of our federal government www.dw.com/en/australia...

17 states are trying to overturn Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, it lead to the creation of The Americans with Disabilities Act. If they succeed you know the ADA will be next!

If Chuck, Nancy, and Hakeem don't want to do it. Then maybe we can. Let's get this to every elected Dem! @aoc.bsky.social @repjasmine.bsky.social @raskin.house.gov @cherijacobus.bsky.social @petebuttigieg.bsky.social #resistance #contractforAmerica youtu.be/b1KJa-BBXzc

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who killed so many children in Samoa they ran out of child-sized coffins, has been confirmed to lead Health and Human Services. The vote was 52-48. All Dems and Mitch McConnell, whose fault this is, voted no. All other Republicans voted yes. The blood will be on their hands.

Controversial take: Batman is the villain. A wealthy multibillionaire who funds a vigilante cult who help cops abuse poor people who turned to crime out of desperation. He never solves Gotham’s crime problem, because it’s systematically tied to income inequality, which he directly benefits from.

Susan Collins is deluded—as usual. RFK will not address the gutting of biomedical research. He will make it worse. The confirmation vote is life & death. It’s more than his anti-vaccine profiteering. It’s more than his anti-farming rhetoric. It’s more than his ignorance about basic science. 1/

I can’t wait for the day where I never have to see or hear DOGE again.
