Give you one guess

 These are dark days for public health. Things are going to get more challenging, but we cannot give in and give up. What this means right now for most of you is to get involved locally.  Understand what the issues are and use all your heart and soul to fight for them.

Thanks @michelewoodward.bsky.social !

CDC source:

“We just had word that all our fellows and post doc staff are laid off effective immediately. The famous Epidemic Intelligence Service, aka the Disease Detectives, is no more. That’s 1260 staff.

They are calling this ‘Phase 1’.”

Who should I follow on bluesky? I need recommendations! ❤️❤️❤️thank you!

Guess what? We’re still here. 😂

People are asking what they can do:

1) Keep calling your electeds!
2) If you’re local to DC, come protest at OPM & the Old Executive Bldg, where word has it Musk works out of. (haven’t confirmed that)

Just stay on public sidewalks and be kind to federal employees.

Thank you friend!!

So terrible. Reckless in the extreme.

We are one!❤️🫶🏽

Yes.

I read that these have been ongoing even with Biden + previous admins

These are so great!!

Will you guys be going to state capitol on Weds?

We are all related.

What harms one harms all.

🦅MAY WE SEE THE LARGER VIEW WITH SHARP CLARITY.

❤️MAY WE SEE THE THINGS OUR HEARTS ARE BEING CALLED TO AND GO AFTER THEM WITH FIERCE POWER AND COURAGE.

⛰️MAY WE SEE OUR PLACE IN THE WORLD AND HOW TO LIVE IN HARMONY WITH ALL CREATION.

I’m a writer and artist and glad to be here! Post election, I’ve been v. Inspired by the words of Wendell Berry. "Expect the end of the world. Laugh.
Laughter is immeasurable. Be joyful though you have considered all the facts."
