Rufo called me a groomer and sent his audience after my family because I said I was fine with my daughter going to therapy. CPS got called. It took months to get rid of them. My former colleagues thought it was hilarious and did nothing.

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.

All the women and Black officers? This is going to ENRAGE and DISGUST every single person who is left because it says to THEM that they DIDN’T get fired ONLY because they are men and white. It makes them look complicit, like they agree with Trump and pipsqueak Hegseth, the WORST secdef ever!

The University of Pittsburgh is one of the top research institutions in the nation. I have close colleagues there. And due to this regime’s war on science, they are pausing PhD admissions university wide. That includes their NIH funded programs. We’re going to lose a generation of researchers.

None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Universities really need to pay attention to this. It's not just about the indirects and frozen funds. If these layoffs continue, which by all signs are continuing and going well beyond probationary employees, these agencies will not be functional, including NIH, CDC, and NSF
