Southern and Eastern oregonians, call Rep. Cliff Bentz and tell him to cancel the Trump Tariffs.

Post from an account "Liberate-America" showing AI robots in university graduation robes saying "No longer the most educated, they're just the most indoctrinated"

The amount of pro misinformation, pro musk, anti intellectual AI fueled garbage accounts being forced onto my Facebook timeline has increased dramatically. This must be coordinated. How hard is it to just let us see the people we like. It's astounding how intent they are to destroy their product

Make a huge mistake. Then make a false claim about how you fixed it.

They did it for PEPFAR.

Now Ebola.

I follow this particular topic VERY closely, so here's what really happened and why this isn't true AT ALL...🧵

'It's not unusual': RFK Jr. comments on growing Texas measles outbreak When questioned about a growing measles outbreak in West Texas that has claimed at least one life, Health & Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told reporters "we have measles outbreaks eve...

Actually, a measles outbreak IS an unusual occurrence. Especially in a country like the US, which had eliminated the disease thanks to vaccination until recently.
It's so unusual that most physicians in the U.S. have NEVER seen a case!

Arizona AG Kris Mayes, New Mexico AG Raul Torrez, and Oregon AG Dan Rayfield will begin holding Community Impact Hearings — a national series of townhalls "to hear from the public about the impact of federal firings and DOGE funding freezes across the country."

The first will be in Phoenix March 5.

It is really hard to watch people willfully tear down an infrastructure that allowed us to double lifespans, drastically reduce poverty, and become one of the richest countries in the world.

I take care of children who DIE of conditions that we can’t prevent and that despite our very best efforts we cannot cure.

The fact that CHILDREN DIE of diseases that can be completely eradicated with safe and effective vaccines makes me LIVID.

Lmao. Hey Dems maybe you can hold town halls in these red places and let Trump voters ask you questions make your own viral content

F.D.A. Cancels Meeting of Vaccine Experts Scheduled to Advise on Flu Shots (Gift Article) The cancellation plays into fears among scientists who worry that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will use his position as health secretary to sow doubts about vaccines.

With the next FDA vaccine meeting cancelled, concerns are rising about whether flu vaccine will be ready on time for next year. w/ @sherylnyt.bsky.social

The stakes are high: 86 kids and 19,000 adults died so far this flu season.

What Can The Worst Person In the World Do With Access to NIH's Grant Software System? Splinter is your home for news and opinions that challenge power in our political and economic system that's becoming more unhinged each and every day.

Here's my latest on the very grim happenings inside NIH

well that seems sorted then

Journal of the Academy of Public Health

There's "being wrong in early in a pandemic" wrong and then there's "doubling down over and over again until you find yourself in bed with RFK Jr. and founding a whole-ass journal to discredit all of academic publishing along with all of medicine" wrong.

Biden administration allocates $306m in its final days for bird flu response ‘Critical’ funding comes as H5N1 outbreak intensifies and will go toward developing a response to the virus

Hey, guess what has suddenly disappeared from the HHS website?

Any mention of this $306M investment in pandemic flu preparedness that was approved in the last days of the Biden administration.

Not DEI. Not USAID. Our surveillance & response program around H5N1.

I think it already is.

But seriously. Don’t call them names. We want the door open for them when they realize the mistake they made.

We are for a better America. Not a vindictive America

I'm not ok. Not at all.

Musk saying he’s shutting down illegal money launderers and it’s Lutheran Social Services

Lutheran Social Services is one of the largest employers in South Dakota, operating senior living facilities across the state. Republicans are shutting it down

Perhaps more concerning is Mike Flynn, known foreign asset, having access to this data?

Several conversations today w people in the key executive departments. And while the particulars are hard to pin down my impression is that the Musk take over stuff is considerably worse than is being presented in the press. By this I don’t necessarily things they *done* yet but the level of …

PSA: looking for a recently destroyed government dataset (CDC SVI, EJI, etc.)?

Check here: dataverse.harvard.edu/dataverse/ca...

Folks @climatehealthcafe.bsky.social have downloaded several destroyed and at-risk datasets. They're actively posting them now. A few to start (see below), more to come.

I don’t have a definitive source on this yet but it looks like NSF review panels have been canceled.

Sixty-some years ago, Eisenhower transformed higher education because he viewed a science education gap as the single greatest threat to national security.

This is absolutely an act of sabotage.

From a source inside the National Cancer Institute:

“Everyone is scrambling to figure out how we’re supposed to work to serve the public when we can’t engage at all.”

Zionism isn't a religion. God the antisemitism that you don't even notice.

no one is capable of perfect behavior and expecting perfection leaves you vulnerable to liars and predators; it is a manipulation tactic

the people in power want us to fight each other

Stop

Do not lose sight of the actual enemies, do not leave yourself so incredibly vulnerable and weak

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers have discovered a vulnerability in drug-resistant bacteria: zinc- OR a lack thereof. Depriving bacteria of certain nutrients can cause important physiological changes, rendering them VULNERABLE to antibiotics, INCLUDING those they once resisted! Let’s talk about that! 🧪🧵⬇️

Science is under attack.

Urgent trans and nonbinary update: I called a passport office and got a sympathetic rep who told me officially any information about gender markers is posted online. Unofficially, they *literally whispered,* they have heard the same rumors about passports being confiscated.

If You’ve Had COVID-19, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Could Be Next COVID and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome have a lot of overlapping symptoms and researchers are beginning to wonder if the two could be related.

VICE: 'If You’ve Had COVID-19, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Could Be Next'

A new study by researcher Suzanne Vernon from the Bateman Home Center has discovered some new information indicating that SARS-CoV-2 infections may be contributing to a rise of ME/CFS

This is chilling—it gives us a good idea of what NIH under Trump/RFK Jr/Jay Bhattacharya is going to look like

For all NIH scientists, “any public presentations at conferences or meetings must now be cleared by a presidential appointee”

Reminds me of when Ivanka Trump had to clear all CDC comms

Truly one of the biggest self-owns in history. Democrats will pay for this politically for decades.
