The August 8 shooting at CDC did not happen in a vacuum--it grew from years of attacks on public health by people like RFK Jr. and Russell Vought, who are 'putting us in trauma' ...just like they promised.
The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed.
Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.

09.08.2025 17:37 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 2 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0The shooting targeting CDC, which resulted in the death of a police officer was horrific, and it was completely preventable. Cuts to CDC programs that reduce gun violence and support mental health, and anti-science rhetoric from political appointees set the stage for this senseless act of violence. Something needs to change.

Thread on CDC shooting๐...
Good morning.
Yesterday, after hours of hiding, trying not to make a sound, we stepped outside and saw massive bullet holes in our office windows.
Those werenโt random shots. That was a high-powered weapon no civilian should ever own.
Conspiracies arenโt harmless chatter. In 2016, a man stormed a D.C. pizzeria over the fake โPizzagateโ story. In 2019, the El Paso shooter killed 23 over the โGreat Replacementโ lie. Politicians who weaponize lies for power bear that blame โ and Trump is a master at it.
09.08.2025 15:47 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 1 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0The events of yesterday are sinking in and we are all feeling very shaken up.
CDC staff, please reach out to family and friends. We need each other right now. If anyone doesnโt have a buddy to talk to, DM us here or on signal.
Here's some info from the NCIRD all hands that happened at 11 today๐
Per CNN, police believe the Emory shooter targeted the CDC because he was sick or thought he was sick โand blamed the illness on the Covid-19 vaccine.โ
And this is why we keep telling you that anti-vax conspiracy theories are dangerous.

When Putin comes to Alaska, he will be the second world leader to visit Trump with an outstanding International Criminal Court warrant for his arrest for war crimes. The other is Netanyahu. Wonder why Trump hasn't turned them over, as international law requires...
