There needs to be a class action suit against RFK, Jr., NIH, and Donald Trump for endangering the lives of Americans with their kooky, unscientific negligence.

It’s Caturday! Today we are snuggling with a good book.📕 🐈‍⬛

Let’s make it viral folks. Thank you @histoftech.bsky.social.

He’s insane.

CDC Deputy Director Ralph Abraham thinks measles outbreaks are the “cost of doing business” in a world of global travel. Because travel didn't exist during the last 20 years, when we had effectively eliminated the disease. lnk.thebulwark.com/4tv9aXt

Can’t believe they released the Epstein files to cover up for the Melania movie.

Arresting journalists.

Fatally shooting protestors.

Turning the military on citizens.

Attempting to rig elections.

Toying with the idea of declaring martial law.

If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

Great project for leftovers and if you are in the deep freeze right now like I am, this is a wonderful neck warmer.

Our country was founded on resistance to a tyrant.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

America is being besieged by two ICE storms this weekend.

One we can't stop.

One, we sure as hell can.

This is apparently real. People who voted for him must've wanted someone stupider than they are. I'm sorry, but he's a " low-IQ individual," to quote the Low-IQ Individual in Chief.

This puts American lives at risk.

A spoof poster for the Year One of MAHA report. Overlaid over a photo of the Cheeto in Chief, Brain Worm, and a talk show host is text that says "Vaccine-preventable diseases that have surged since January 2025. In 2025: 787% increase in measles cases, included 3 pediatric deaths. 134% increase in pediatric flu-associated deaths. Year One of MAHA."

Contrary to what some HHS and CDC political appointee think 🙄 losing measles elimination status is actually a problem

After a quick look at 2024 and 2025 numbers, here's the REAL impact of Year One of MAHA

(Spoiler: they'd get a D on their report card)

No one in the Trump family has ever served in the military including during WWII. A draft dodger lecturing the world. Pathetic.

Wow. #NoKings #Davos2026

As a scientist, this is both incredibly sad and infuriating. We were the world’s leader in cutting edge science across disciplines.

Pew Research Institute (2023):

• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants

• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants

• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.

And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."

It's *not* about immigration.

This is the story of the day. Share it. We are all being called to be our highest selves. The cavalier treatment of the Nobel Prize is a disgrace. It represents another way to destroy and defile that which should be precious and revered.

We can all make choices to be better.

EPA says it will no longer consider health costs in pollution regulations The EPA weakened emissions standards for new power plants and said it would no longer consider the economic impacts of public health in rule making.

The Trump administration is quite literally willing to poison Americans to save giant corporations money. Your kids get sick & oil CEOs get richer.

Hmmmm ….. 🤔

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

When will enough be enough for the GOP Congress.
