I think the most wrong I have ever been as a political scientist was when I said in a public forum in 2020 that there would not be political violence in the US (Jan 6 was 2 mos later). Tonight’s purges are a clear precursor to more future such violence. This is textbook authoritarian abuse stuff.

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.

Secretary Turner wants to cancel HUD programs that serve seniors and people with disabilities. Harming seniors and vulnerable Americans does not make our government more efficient. Senator Warren, Senator Smith, and I are holding this Administration accountable.

When ordered by Nazis to give lists of disabled people by disability severity, some doctors sent back exaggerated data to protect patients from forced work They didn't know that the "most disabled" were to be killed first The moral here isn't to tell the truth It's to never co-operate with Nazis

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Pretty interesting that many Americans from a broad spectrum of political perspectives are asking aloud some version of the question «Что Делать?»

Climate change is real. There are only three options: 1. Reduce climate-damaging pollution 2. Adapt to unavoidable climate impacts 3. Suffer. By denying and misrepresenting the science and by cutting science and disaster funds, Trump and the Republicans have chosen the third option.

Why are we calling these accidents? None of these firings are accidents. They're all purposeful, and are only reversed if there's enough of an outcry. ALL OF THIS is intentional.

Every single day I need to remind myself that I can only focus on what is in my control. It is devastating to watch what is being done and the Federal level in this country. What is in my control is myself, my choices and my reaction to these incidents. I can choose my reaction and use my voice.
