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.

THE FLU IS GOING AROUND - AND IT'S A DOOZY. My nurse cousin, despite taking all precautions, still managed to get the flu. She almost had to be hospitalized. Really freaked me out. It doesn't make the news, but yes, you can die from the flu (especially the immunocompromised). Be careful. #wildtomild

Oh nothing to see here — just the United States of America aligning itself with Russia and against Europe. This is fine. Totally fine.

There is a delicate balance between staying informed and "going down the rabbit hole." When it starts affecting your health and relationships, TAKE A BREAK. Do something creative. Take a walk. Phone a friend. And now, I'm going to take my own advice... HAPPY MONDAY!!!

THIS IS SO DANGEROUS. As a former OR Nurse & Mgr, our department relied guidelines & Safety Data Sheets because of the dangerous chemicals we were exposed to in the hospital. Hazardous spill? I guess they have to cross their fingers & hope that someone saved some paper copies. #DoNoHarm #OSHA

My partner worries that my politics will get in the way of my coaching biz. ADVOCACY is huge part of what nurses do - whether or not we work for a hospital system. I don't know if my voice matters, but silence is not an option for me. #PatientAdvocate #DoNoHarm

contrarian.substack.com/p/some-presi... Washington was the antithesis of the current Oval Office occupant. His restraint in the exercising of power, his reputation for honesty, his abhorrence of partisanship, and his insistence on the peaceful transfer of power make him the model president.

Made my first phone call using the 5 Calls app!!! 📱 I have never done this before. It was easy because I had the app open and the script in front of me. I had to leave a voicemail, but I'm ready to do these calls every day! 😀 #ActionOverAnxiety #TakeAction #Resist #DoNotComply #PeoplePower

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

Elon—the richest man on Earth—is gutting the world’s largest provider of food aid. He could end world hunger single-handedly and still be the richest man alive. But he won’t. Instead, he spent 40 million on Super Bowl ads attacking USAID! Stand with USAID: share this counter-ad…

As companies shell out big bucks for Super Bowl commercials, remember that many said they were forced to raise prices due to inflation. Also remember that average profit margins in nearly every sector in the S&P 500 are running near or above 10-year highs. Hello???

The fact that you see how wrong this all is, means your faculties are intact, your mind is fully right, and your heart is working properly; you still have a soul doing what souls are supposed to do: keep you deeply human in profoundly inhumane times. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/dont-gasli...

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Our current health care system is not designed to provide quality care to all people. It is designed to make huge profits for insurance & drug companies. In that sense, the system is working very well. But it is not working for the average American. We need Medicare for All.

Operation ICE Ride-Along isn’t going as planned. 🔥 Fox News tagged along with ICE, hoping for an exclusive look at “dangerous criminals.” Instead, they got a whole lot of nothing. No threats, no big arrests—just a community that wasn’t having it. The narrative is falling apart.
