Thank you 🥹❤️

I specifically want my tax dollars to pay for the healthcare of those who can’t afford it and would otherwise die. That’s what I want. It’s not a burden. It’s what civilized societies do. If you can’t understand that, you’re the problem.

Trump now has the lowest approval rating of any president in the last 80 years. He’s 78. That means the worst president of his entire lifetime…is him. Second worst? Also him. Dude battled himself for last place…and won!

The poll is for the first 100 days of a presidential term.

CDC staff and retired workers call for Kennedy’s resignation in a protest outside headquarters The demonstration came a day after Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. gutted a federal vaccine safety panel and vowed to replace all its members.

One more post before we get some rest. A news article about the rally today. Thank you to those who stood up & stepped out. It takes strength and courage to raise voices when fearful of retaliation.
We saw you. We heard you. We will keep fighting for science and public health. #saveCDC

They just get it 🤷🏻‍♀️💜

Everyone’s gonna be wide awake at his funeral. If only because they’ll play Kool & The Gang’s “Celebration” at full volume.

Red and Blue counties receiving federal assistance.

They scream about Socialism while their roads, hospitals, and schools are basically on a Federal IV drip.

To the person who said they like me best when I am not ranting about politics: I like me best when I am not ignoring fascism.

A legal document titled "Order on Motion for Temporary Restraining Order" from the United States District Court, District of Maine. The case is "State of Maine v. United States Department of Agriculture, et al.," case number 1:25-cv-00131-JAW. The document grants the State of Maine's request to prevent the USDA from terminating or interfering with federal funds based on alleged Title IX violations without due legal process. The court orders the release of frozen funds and prohibits further interference without following required procedures. The document is marked as Document 12, filed on April 11, 2025, and is page 1 of 70.

HUGE WIN: A federal judge just issued a lengthy TRO prohibiting the Trump administration from freezing federal funds to Maine over their policies protecting transgender youth.

Zero faith in these people atp…but I’d love to be surprised

Good morning, friends. The mass firings at CDC and health depts are a blow to public health—and democracy itself.

Those still holding the line: Your work has never been more vital.

This regime attacks us because they fear our strength.

The people united will never be defeated.

Copy of RIF email. I regret to inform you that you are being affected by a reduction in force (RIF) action. Please find attached a notice memorandum explaining the RIF and next steps. This RIF action does not reflect directly on your service, performance, or conduct. It is being taken solely for the reasons stated in the memorandum. After you receive this notice, you will be placed on administrative leave and will no longer have building access beginning Tuesday, April 1, unless directed otherwise by your leadership. Additionally, please save this email and its attachments, or forward them to a personal email address, for your records. Leadership at HHS appreciates your service Sincerely,

These HHS RIFs are reckless and cruel. In a typical RIF, employees aren’t locked out immediately—they stay to wrap up work and ensure a smooth transition. Instead, this admin abruptly shut everyone out, creating chaos that harms both workers and the people they serve.

The nerve to write that they appreciate their service. 🤬

Crazed Monte is just what I (and I suspect we ALL) needed to see. 💜

Good morning. We’ve learned that RIF notices went out by branch overnight—timed for maximum cruelty. We’ll share info and resources throughout the day.

To those affected: We’re so sorry. This is a deep personal loss and a loss for everyone you keep safe and healthy through your work. 💚

Breast cancer survival rate in 1920, 5%, 1960, 25%, 1990, 64-80%, 2025, 91% Research did this.

The challenge with public health is that when it works, it’s invisible. We don’t hear about the cancer caught early, the child who didn’t get sick, or the outbreak contained. But when funding gets pulled and systems break down, consequences become fast-and by then, it may be too late.
