He nails it.

Important to remind Congress everyday of facts: 1. POTUS immunity to break law, doesn't make it legal. He is still breaking the law. 2. Immunity is only protects against criminal charges in court system. 3. Impeachment is outside this, it's political, and Congress has duty to uphold Constitution.

There’s a huge budget showdown coming next week. If we don’t win it we all stand to lose a lot. Hit the phones. youtu.be/uKgnBLQ_GnA

A new executive order from the Trump Administration commands the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to terminate the Secretary’s Advisory Committee on Long COVID. Read more from @mileswgriffis.bsky.social: bit.ly/3CY2vj1

With a measles outbreak growing in West Texas, and cases popping up across the country, experts say vaccination is your best protection. And it's not just for kids. Some adults may need a booster.

Make sure you are resting while you’re resisting

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

“Flu has been brutal this season. The CDC estimates at least 24 million illnesses, 310,000 hospitalizations, and 13,000 deaths from the flu since the start of October… But CDC analyses that would inform people about these situations are delayed, and the CDC has cut off communication with doctors”

🚨 👀

The Trump admin has "disrupted the response" to bird flu by withholding reports and canceling meetings with both Congress and state health officials, leading to confusion and concern among federal staff, states, veterinarians and health experts. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

after the overturning of roe, black infant mortality has spiked nearly 11% in states with abortion bans: www.reuters.com/world/us/inf...

Fed goons removing the T & Q from the LGBTQ at Stonewall should make you more angry than it makes you sad. Rage for those killed by this government during the AIDS crisis. Rage for all of us who have to live fraught lives just for being ourselves. Not just sadness, rage. This was done to us.

Fellow New Englanders, see here 👀

So… H5N1 can spread asymptomatically (meaning people don’t know they, or their animals, are sick) which means there’s more bird flu out there than we know. Likely by a lot. Wear a mask. Distance. Don’t mingle when you’re ill. Don’t wear outside shoes inside. Wash your damn hands.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

On a day like this, it’s important to say THANK YOU to all the science and public health communicators for all you do. Your work will be even more critical in the coming years. Keep going! You are very much needed and appreciated. ❤️

This is all a good reminder that, “no help, no votes until the criminal conduct stops” is neither a big ask nor a politically perilous one.

This is where you go to tell the National Park Service to restore the word "transgender" in its entry on the Stonewall monument. (Scroll down.)

NEW: A federal judge (Trump-appointed Carl Nichols), gave another weeklong reprieve to thousands of USAID employees from being forced onto administrative leave. w/ @joshgerstein.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Trans youth deserve access to the health care they need — and a federal judge agrees.

WEAR A MASK PLEASE

NEW: My office is hearing that DOGE is now at the IRS. That means Musk's henchmen are in a position to dig through a trove of data about every taxpayer in America. And if your refund is delayed, they could very well be the reason.

The lawsuit alleges the migrants have been "disappeared into a black box" and are unable to communicate with attorneys.

THIS MORNING: The Senate will vote on Robert Kennedy Jr.’s nomination for HHS Secretary. Confirming this conspiracy theorist would jeopardize the health and safety of millions. Contact your senators ASAP. Call: indivisible.org/resource/cal... Email: act.indivisible.org/sign/oppose-...

There is literally HIV being transmitted from mom to baby because of the illegal shutdown of US AID and now Trump’s State Department wants to spend 400 million dollars on Tesla cyber trucks. This is not about efficiency. It’s a smash and grab.

Some good trouble. Enjoy!

We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.

COVID-19 levels remain high in the U.S. as our longer-than-usual winter surge continues. We’re also seeing a record-high seasonal flu season, as concerns about the bird flu H5N1 continue to grow. bit.ly/40YZ4QS

And the Germans learned how to do it *from the US’s own genocide* against the indigenous peoples here.

📢 RFK Jr’s Floor Vote is Today 🏛️ ⏱️ ACTION STEPS ⏱️ 💥Call your Senators and Reps and demand they OPPOSE RFK Jr, NIH Cuts and the Musk Takeover 5calls.org 💥Call your state’s Attorney General and demand they fight Musk’s access to data and funding cuts. www.usa.gov/state-attorn...

This is a good way of putting it. Democracy requires bureaucracy and fixed rules; since collective decisions can be made only occasionally, the system has to be on autopilot most of the time. A system based on personal hierarchy and domination can rely more on command and less on administration.

Hear, hear!

That’s my rep! Keep up that scrappy energy, Becca . . . We need it. 👏

Just saw a farmer say, "you don't have to admit you were wrong, you have to admit you were lied to, " and idk that seems like a good framing to call people in

US military budget: $850 billion US National Institutes of Health indirect costs: $9 billion That they are so focused on cutting the budget of the latter says everything.

If you are upset about the devastating cuts to science, remember to call your elected officials and let them know about it. Regardless of if they are red or blue, supportive of science or not, they all track calls. Calls matter. Do it! Find your elected officials: www.usa.gov/elected-officials

Trumps halt on research funding is halting GLOBAL clinical trials. People on cancer trials WILL DIE. Trump is murdering not just Americans, but citizens of other countries. People like my father. We don’t have time for law suits & court battles to reinstate funds. This is murder. #cancertrial
