thanks so much to the Queer Ultimatum for making sure that no one believes the horrible stereotype that queers arent also toxic😂

Pierre Poilievre says he'll end woke ideology - he isn't saying what that means (headline on CTV)

It means you get human trafficked to El Salvador if you oppose genocide or don't get healthcare if you're trans

Leftists need to learn the difference between “stop infighting” and marginalized people telling them “this behavior I experience from your camp is harmful and I need it to stop to work with you effectively.”

If it’s more offensive to you to be called out as a movement than that the harm exists-

A screenshot of a Reuters article stating that the US FDA suspended milk quality test workforce cuts.

Previous to the FDA, folks would put chalk and plaster of Paris in milk to make it appear white. They could also add formaldehyde to cover the smell and taste of spoiled milk.

YouTube video by The Serf Times Tim Pool and the right now targeting GAY MARRIAGE?!?

The right are now targeting same sex marriage in their crusade to subjugate and eliminate every minority group they feel to be inferior.

If you thought it was safe to be LGBQ+ and go after trans people welcome to the reality that no one is safe under fascists

The American Psychiatric Association vs Mark Zuckerberg Mark Zuckerberg has told Meta that whether or not being LGBT is a mental illness is up for debate. The American Psychiatric Association disagrees.

Let’s not forget that Mark Zuckerberg & Meta announced that they think it’s a matter of opinion whether being #LGBT is a mental illness.

LinkedIn post: On January 24th I formally resigned from my position with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). I started at CDC in 2010, and I have spent 20 years in public service, including my 15 years in service at the federal level. Here is a little bit of what I wrote in my resignation, because I'm not sure that anyone is actually going to read it. "I feel honored to be among the public health professionals that have had the privilege to work at CDC. As I reflect on my own experiences and accomplishments during my time here, I am humbled by the magnitude and the importance of our work. To my colleagues: we have worked together through chaos and uncertainty, transition, reorganization, preparation, and response. You are the most selfless, dedicated, and passionate people I know. I have watched you work around the clock, take additional details, deployments, and responsibilities, try to balance work and family, forego self-care, and keep pushing and work together to protect the public’s health. I’ve seen your sacrifice. I want you to know that your support and guidance has been invaluable, and I am proud of the work we have accomplished together." While I was backing up files I found my oath that I signed in 2010. I believe in our work, and I am sad to be leaving federal service. But I have immense gratitude for all of the opportunities that I've had and the connections that I've made. I will continue to protect the public's health in a different capacity (stay tuned...) but for now, thank you for trusting me.

The policy lead for CDC's H5N1 response has abruptly resigned.

Sources tell me CDC's response to the bird flu pandemic has been severely hobbled by the chaos of the past two weeks.

i absolutely love when i realize that i’m handling a situation better than my old self would have!!! we love ✨character development✨

Good, there should be consequences for baselessly accusing people of antisemitism.

Elon Musk tweet: We spent the wekend feeding USAID

Imagine you were the richest man in the world. You could have anything you wanted, go anywhere you wished, do whatever took you fancy. How would you spend your weekend? Depriving the poorest people in the world of food and healthcare and boasting about it?

Important update: H5N1 variant D1.1 identified in milk and dairy cattle in Nevada. This is not the same as the variant that has been circulating in cattle until now, it is the one responsible for the death in Louisiana and a severely sick teenager in canada.

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

This really can’t be emphasized enough.

no funding if it seems like the research MIGHT involve a woman or a nonwhite person

if you're concerned about justice, please for the love of all that's holy, use alt text on your images - ESPECIALLY if they're screen shots of text - goddamn it. what'll it take to convince you. No justice without disability justice. Now, more than ever.

There is still beauty in this world

Yeah you dont need one of those in a fascist state.

I know technofeudalism probably isn't an accurate term but idk what else to call it

The corporate coup is global.

Trump's mad tariffs do not mark the end of neoliberalism or free trade or whatever you want to call it.

They mark the end game of what we have been fighting for decades: corporate rule.

They do not believe in the public. They believe in their wealth.

@cswe.bsky.social ‘s theme is Disability Justice, yet your policies—no masking, no COVID testing, no virtual presentations—exclude those most impacted. How will you pivot now to ensure true accessibility? Social work values demand better. Failing to act contradicts the justice you claim to uphold.

These are all paraphrased but are ideas that are important to share:

Don't obey in advance. (Democracy Now)

Their goal is to overwhelm us. Shock is a common right wing tactic. (Naomi Klein)

Facts aren't enough to change people's behaviours and build social movements. (Let This Radicalize You)

Goes beyond MMWR +other CDC pubs. Applies to research already submitted to top medical journals.
