My racist HS physics teacher just put a photo of Snoop and Trump on his feed and my classmate posted a response that said "you wrote me up for listening to Snoop in your class in 1993 so fuck you and I think it's about time you know that your daughter stayed over at my house after prom"

Omg. This is horrifying. Congresswoman Kelly Morrison just revealed that Medicaid covers HALF of the kids in the United states, more than 40% of the births — and Republicans want it gone. The Republican funding bill impacts ALL OF US.

"Data doesn't lie"? It's amazing how much the same people who mocked pre-eminent scientists during COVID are now blindly following a ketamine-fueled hustler and the teenage DOGE dorks.

Pulling in Nazis from every crevasse of America like cartoon characters getting a whiff of a fresh pie.

The Resistance is alive and well and angry.

Musk called DOGE “maximally transparent,” but it has refused to release info about its spending and operations — including the names of its employees. ProPublica has identified 46 of them, including 12 new names we've just added.

#MedSky #ScienceSky ~ Help a nurse out, please. Is this something we should worry about?

Perhaps the first #ProtestSong ~ La Marseillaise, the national anthem of France, was written in 1792 and adopted as the rallying call to the French Revolution. "TO ARMS, citizens!"

Two coders have already infiltrated the DOGE website and left their own messages on it at the time of 404’s reporting on Thursday evening: “THis is a joke of a .gov site,” said one, and “THESE ‘EXPERTS’ LEFT THEIR DATABASE OPEN -roro” said another.

Emergency crews are responding to a plane crash in Toronto involving Delta Airlines that has injured eight people, one of them critically

Canada’s Toronto Pearson Airport said it is aware of an incident involving a Delta Air Lines plane that was arriving from Minneapolis. Footage from CTV shows an overturned plane on a runway. cnn.it/3X7wnQR

This is probably the most accurate take.

What the HELL is going on with all the DM trolls? #BlueSkySafety needs a new class of automatic account deletions: If someone follows a profile that says "no DMs", and DMs anyway, the account can report them for trolling. Am I wrong that this is a sitewide problem?

This!!

#MedSky Don't make assumptions about older patients. Case: I'm 76 & never had measles. A big outbreak near me ~10 yrs ago led this RN to get vaccinated x2. I had to pay 100% as CDC assumed my cohort ALL had measles as kids. We're worth saving. Never assume anything.

BOOK NEWS! Booster Shots is available for preorder! Measles, the world’s most infectious virus, evolves with us – aided by poverty, war, and neglect.

After learning the hard way that government data may not always be available or reliable, the research community is finding alternative ways to host important government health data and guidance online. @kkjetelina.bsky.social @altcdc.bsky.social #MedSky www.medpagetoday.com/special-repo...

Judge orders CDC, FDA to restore websites taken down after Trump gender order

This is a great to-do list! What would you add to it?

A US judge temporarily reinstated the head of a US watchdog agency focused on protecting government whistleblowers after the official filed a lawsuit claiming his removal by President Donald Trump' administration was unlawful reut.rs/3CKFNdY

BREAKING: VIRUS FROM NEVADA DAIRY WORKER WITH BIRD FLU HAS THE SAME GENETIC MUTATION seen in the Nevada cows – a change of PB2 D701N that has previously been assoc with more efficient virus replication in ppl & mammals. CDC told Fortune that the D1.1 variant in this worker is the same strain of

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

More details on censorship at the CDC from @alexander-a-tin.bsky.social: Trump officials at HHS, and acting CDC Director Susan Monarez, refused repeated requests by career health officials to publish the completed research on bird flu in the MMWR, officials say.

MUZZLED FACT—💡Last year, 95% of people hospitalized for COVID-19 weren't up to date on the latest vaccine booster. 📌And people who skipped the flu shot? They were ⬆️2x twice as likely to need medical care from the flu P.s. Trump WH has pulled & banned these public health ads

KEEP CATS SAFE—there is clear proof of cat-human household transmission of bird flu. CDC scientists posted the data—but suddenly deleted soon afterwards. CDC is being blatantly muzzled. C.D.C. Posts, Then Deletes, Data on Bird Flu Spread Between Cats and People 🎁🔗 www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/h...

It isn’t a law. We don’t need to comply at this moment. I understand the fear of repercussions, but doesn’t that pale in comparison to the fear and vulnerability these kids have from the loss of healthcare? 🛟 #medsky

The Navy and Marine Corps said that some sexual assault prevention and response training has been paused to ensure compliance.

⚡️Trump to lay off nearly all USAID staff worldwide, NYT reports. The cuts will reduce the agency from 10,000 staff around the world to just 290, three sources with knowledge of the layoffs said.

When the Super Bowl kicks off at New Orleans’ Caesars Superdome on Sunday, football fans won’t be allowed to bring coolers into the nearby French Quarter. Guns, however, can be carried freely, both openly and concealed.

SCOOP: The US Treasury claimed a DOGE's Marco Elez didn’t have ‘write access,’ when he actually did. Sources tell WIRED that his ability to alter code controlling trillions in federal spending was rescinded, days after officials said it didn't exist.

"As a 30-year #cybersecurity veteran, I find the activities of DOGE thus far concerning. Its broad mandate across government, seemingly nonexistent oversight, and the apparent lack of operational competence of its employees..."
