Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.

These actions by Trump/Musk show America as a nation trampling the rule of law. Trump/Musk cannot unilaterally close USAID or transfer under State. USAID is codified by the Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act of 1998, 22 U.S.C. 6501 et seq. 7/8

Breaking: The Handbasket is first to report catastrophic OMB funding memo Posted on Bluesky earlier this evening, other major outlets have since confirmed.

“There’s still this idea that news is only ‘real’ once it’s confirmed by big corporate outlets. After all, could one woman with absolutely zero institutional backing in leggings and a sweatshirt in her NYC apartment really be the one to break such an important story? Now we know the answer is yes.”

I saw during COVID what RFK Jr.'s brand of skepticism could do | Op-Ed During COVID, when health professionals needed support from the public with vaccinations, I saw firsthand how misinformation led to death and trauma.

Thank you @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social for publishing my Op-Ed today.

RFK Jr.’s “confirmation would undermine public health and betray hardworking health care professionals and researchers who work relentlessly to keep our patients safe and healthy”
