Beyond sickening. These people will pay for their crimes.

‘It’s a massacre’: CDC battered by government shutdown firings The White House’s mass firing of CDC staff on Friday has decimated offices related to injury prevention, respiratory disease surveillance, and chronic disease, according to four people familiar with t...

Five years ago a worldwide pandemic killed millions. Today, using the shutdown as a transparently lame excuse, Trump decimated the CDC.
This will have terrible consequences for decades to come.

This should be interesting!🍿🥤

Nobel Committee:
“Democracy depends on people who refuse to stay silent, who dare to step forward despite grave risk, and who remind us that freedom must never be taken for granted, but must always be defended – with words, with courage and with determination.”
Let’s show OUR courage!! No Kings!!

The minute Trump stops his clearly authoritarian actions, I will be glad to give him some credit where it’s deserved.

Brisk it was. 🥶

Visited Duluth last spring. Lived it. Cold but beautiful.

Yes. Unbelievably sad.

I would definitely be thinking of that too but we have a disabled daughter here which makes things trickier. So glad you were able to relocate and your wife was able to retain her funding.

Yet she voted for the Big Bad Bill. A bit late to have second thoughts.

Posting fact-based stuff, along with some mild trolling, on X is useful because MAGA needs to know there are others out there who haven’t drunk the Kool Aid. Here you are preaching to the converted.

Let’s protest even more and pray that the courts protect us and the Constitution.

Actually I have been spending more time on X, trolling, than on Blue sky. Here you are largely peaching to the converted.

Trump is deeply unwell, both physically and mentally. Everyone can see it.

Tom, what is wrong with you? Really.

“You have the power to make a difference. Don’t give up.” Thank you, Dr. Goodall.

So glad I canceled!

Agreed.

Los Angeles, Washington, Chicago, Portland. With more to come.

The Republican Shutdown Argument is a Giant Lie No, Democrats aren’t trying to fund health care for “illegal aliens.”

Every time you hear Trump, Vance or a GOP leader talk about “illegal aliens” getting health care, remember they are trying desperately to dodge blame for an insurance premium jump about to hit 20M+ Americans

Also they are lying www.thebulwark.com/p/republican...

Tuff guys.
