HHS just sent federal employees an email praising the pro-life "March for Life" in DC today and advising how feds can attend.

We thought we'd help out with promotion. Send this to your MAGA contacts

(Yes, there are nationwide ICE protests today including in ATL: actionnetwork.org/events/atlan...)

We are collecting information on terminated SAMHSA grants at Grant Witness: grant-witness.us/submit-samhs...

As a Millenial this is great for us because our big thing is pretending we aren’t middle aged

Oh dear - at first glance I thought Biscuit had her own Dunkin Donuts. I’ve been living in Boston for too long

If you want to know how to make a bad map and/or chart, just watch the presidential address

This kind of thinking is one of the reasons why some kids develop C-PTSD.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.

The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

1/2 A reminder to anyone who was RIFed.

💯 you do NOT deserve this.

Quick tips if you do get a RIF notice:
❌ Do not send a read receipt
❌ Do not respond right away - the union will probably provide language for response
✅ Forward notice to your personal email

I can’t love this enough.

Also to succeed and survive, even if one is not a narcissist, one has to comply with other narcissists (e.g., ignoring or not naming harm to appease or not upset said narcissists)

Nothing has disappointed me more than watching institutions cave to ending programs they KNOW have an impact and bring in talented and qualified scientists from different backgrounds. Someday we will have to face what was done here and what we lost.

@bostonu.bsky.social administrators side with bigots. Targeted pride flags for removal, selectively. Alum MLK Jr. would be ashamed.

Both Sinclair and Nexstar caved. There’s a lesson here for would-be leaders, including university presidents.

two ways you can help protect public health next:

- talking about the hearing and what the CDC officials said during it with the folks in your life who are not on here

- call your reps and senators. demand they continue using all their tools to investigate RFK Jr. cap switchboard: (202) 224-3121

CDC temporarily revokes remote work approvals for employees with disabilities The CDC revoked permission for employees with disabilities to work from home, at least temporarily.

1/4 🧵
“You’re being told that your disability doesn’t matter.” 😢😡

ICYMI: CDC just paused all long-term telework approvals for employees with disabilities -- including (especially?) those with PTSD from the 8/8 Roybal shooting that killed Officer David Rose.

It’s an epidemic

Don’t forget subcommittees of the subgroups that write lukewarm statements

Some good news!

Math is hard!

Senator Warnock to RFK Jr.:

You are a hazard to the American people and I think you ought to resign or be fired.

This is correct.

RFK JR: You're making things up to scare people. And it's a lie.

Hassan: With respect, I do not think I'm the one making things up.

Opinion | Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the CDC and Me I was fired after 29 days because I held the line and insisted on rigorous scientific review.

gift link to dr. susan monarez’s piece in the wall street journal this morning.

Senator Cantwell (D, Badass from WA) to RFK Jr:

“Sir, you’re a charlatan, that’s what you are”.

This is correct

Who’s asking the questions again?

RFK Jr. disgraces his father’s memory again by crowing about cutting HHS efforts around diversity, equity and inclusion.

RFK wants us to focus on the root causes of disease. We used to do that, we called it the social determinants of health. That was banned as DEI.

Dr. Susan Monarez, recently removed as director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, warned in a Wall Street Journal op-ed that the Trump administration is deliberately weakening the country’s public health and vaccine protections. This is a danger that should concern us all.
