Here’s some advice for those outside our coalition, as the administration is actively leading a witch hunt for resistance members. If you’re a government employee, avoid using government devices to coordinate. Do not use standard messaging apps on Android or Apple devices.

Canada's flu season is rapidly escalating, with over 1 in 5 tests returning positive.

In the past week alone, 8,586 cases have been detected.

Notably, 94.2% of these cases are attributed to Influenza A, a strain with pandemic potential.

Is anyone paying attention?

There was a family at Costco that bought a roasted chicken and ate it at the canteen. I didn't know you could do that. The world is full of beauty.

USAID friends are asking this video be shared on social media at 5:30pm eastern, as E**n M**k has spent $40M on a Super Bowl ad to trash USAID, which accounts for 1% of the federal budget. Please spread the word. youtu.be/PqUESHfuO_8

Tara Setmayer just said, that we (Democrats) were doing this (what Musk is doing) Republicans would move Heaven and Earth to shut it down.

I agree. So...if we can agree on this, why are Democrats...not moving Heaven and Earth?

Democrats:The "Rules" need to be suspended: The bottom line is STOP IT.

We need to call out the blatant lie being pushed by the Trump administrationβ€”that Elon’s staffers have only β€œread-only” access. It has been confirmed across departments that they have β€œadministrative” access to computer systems.

NIH scraps program to diversify the biomedical workforce, a longtime goal of science Applications for a prestigious NIH grant that supports Ph.D. students from marginalized backgrounds are not being funded

β€œIt’s a very unsettling moment for science:" Prestigious #NIH grant program meant to support PhD students from marginalized backgrounds is shelved to comply with the anti-DEI policy of the Trump administration. @usha.bsky.social & @aniloza.bsky.social report. www.statnews.com/2025/02/07/t...

Surprisingly, we find ourselves thanking a Trump appointeeβ€”so thank you, Judge. Judge Carl Nichols of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia announced after a hearing that he would issue a temporary restraining order to halt the imminent administrative leave of 2,200 USAID employees.

Experts fear disruptions at FDA as Trump offers buyouts and layoff reports swirl The FDA is always trying to staff up, and already struggles to fulfill some duties.

With rumors swirling that agencies like #CDC & #FDA are about to face major layoffs, experts worry about how critical tasks β€”Β like conducting safety inspections at drug manufacturing plants β€”Β are going to proceed. @lizzylawrence.bsky.social reports. www.statnews.com/2025/02/07/f...

I'm seeing emails from the CDC "HR" department that start with a long string of alphanumerics from the LIST.NIH.GOV domain.

Those emails are honey traps to find leaks. The email doesn't just identify the sender. It identifies the receiver. The alphanumerics connect to idiosyncrasies in the text.

It ends up creating sceneries where people die and suffer.

The recent surge in violence in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo has led to significant loss of life, trauma, displacement, and the destruction of critical health infrastructure, exacerbating an already dire situation for millions of people.

The situation remains tense and volatile, and the health needs are immense. WHO remains on the ground, and has continued to respond to the health needs by providing lifesaving medical supplies, supporting health workers, and coordinating the emergency response.

I work on a federal contract through a private company. We just got our first "Hey, the government says racism is good again so we're going to 'review our policies' around diversity" email this morning.

I hate everything.

We want to take a moment to express how proud we are of you, America. You have stood up and spoken out every step of the wayβ€”especially when Congress and the media remained silent. When we called for help, you answered.

It's a cold, sunny day in Toronto. The current temp is -7, feeling like -15C (20, feeling like 5F). I'm working all day. It's not quite my Friday as I still have to work tomorrow.

I hope you have a fabulous day! β™₯️β™₯️

Make your resistance efforts accessible. Wear a mask. Clean the air for indoor events. Encourage people to stay home if they’re sick.

Disabled people want to be involved and can bring a ton to the table if you include us.

We live in constant fight or flight. We are uniquely built for resistance.

National security starts with people.

Today, I joined three U.S. Senators in urging the Secretary of Defense to course-correct on the White House’s reckless Deferred Resignation letter which severely weakens our national security posture.
