If you look at all the firings across the government over the last two weeks it's frequently been taken as a given that any black or woman official or officer is either a DEI hire or supports DEI and is summarily fired on that basis. Seems like the same model here.

1776 — 2025 R.I.P. 🇺🇸

Better not call it a “vaccine” or it might not get approved. Maybe market it as a recreational drug.

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.

Measles, Mumps, Tuberculosis (TB) is making a comeback. Our food is poisoned, daily record recalls. Cancer and other diseases were going down bring in F47. Research dollars are being scraped, add this brain-worm, heroine addict nut, vaccine denier as agency head ...SERIOUSLY, RFKJr 🤯WTH AMERICA😤WTH

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

The USA isn't just on a path towards being universally hated around the world, it's also fast becoming irrelevant. I fear it will destroy a lot as it goes down but I also expect that w/in my lifetime it'll become dried out & forgettable like post-imperial Britain.

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

In a small trial, nearly half of pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine had no signs of relapse after three years. Dr. Vinod Balachandran from @mskcancercenter.bsky.social joins us to discuss the results and what they could mean for cancer treatment.

This is like opposing a joint resolution declaring that the Sun sets in the West America doesn’t just look like an idiot here, we look like goddamn Flat Earthers

How it started. How it’s going

"The U.S. Postal Service is wildly popular with the American people and its service is essential and irreplaceable. Nobody voted for this. It is brazenly illegal, unconstitutional, and corrupt." - Rep. Don Beyer (D-VA08) bluevirginia.us/2025/02/frid...

The @nytimes.com changed the story and has now added this info after I caught them last night. This is why I screenshot these stories. There was no editors note added nor did they point out that a stealth edit was made. h/t @shoq.bsky.social

This is real

On this day John Lewis was born. If you don't know why he's a civil rights icon, please read about him. In his honor, always get in good trouble. It's time. Just because the administration declares something illegal doesn't mean it's wrong. www.si.edu/spotlight/jo...

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

Jeez, I wonder why an organization that has people living undercover in hundreds of countries around the world would want to recruit “diverse” individuals? The stupidity is breathtaking. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/u...

Costco and Trader Joes are yin and yang. Together they form a harmonious balance. One sells big piles of normal food, the other sells small piles of weird food. These are the two food piles people need
