If you are experiencing rage and despair about what is happening in America and the world right now because of the Trump-Vance-Musk regime, you are hardly alone. But a groundswell of opposition is growing. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/ten-reasons-for-optimism

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.

Trump wants to extend his tax cuts for rich individuals, which would add $4.6T to the deficit. But he wants to go even further, cutting the corporate tax rate to 15%. It's yet another absolutely shameless giveaway.

Senator Richard Blumenthal on RFK Jr.: "Having a science denier surrounded by, potentially, lobbyists at the helm of this agency is not going to make Americans healthy again, it is going to make them sicker. It is going to, potentially, sell them out for profit." Nailed it! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

This is likely what we’ll continue to see with the rise of the anti-vaccine movement. To protect others: -Stay home when sick -Cover your cough/sneeze with your elbow -Wear a mask around immunocompromised individuals (infants, children, older adults, etc.) -Wash your hands -GET VACCINATED

To America’s 2.3 million federal employees: Don’t accept a buyout. Neither Musk nor even Trump has the legal authority to make such an offer. And even if they did, would you trust them to follow through on it? Sincerely, Robert Reich Former U.S.Secretary of Labor

As someone who works under a CDC funded grant, this is heartbreaking. As a public health professional, I will ALWAYS advocate against hate, and support inclusivity and diversity within my programs. I owe it to my community, to the youth I work with, and to myself. #FDT #EmbraceDiversity #Love

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽
