These people are liars, and their goal with this “leak” bullshit is to discredit real science.
The want to do this to privatize US science, so oligarchs can steal the US science budget.

We should reject it straight up.

Trump is lying about COVID to take away your cancer cures, for profit. 1/

Aren't you tired of being sick and tired?

COVID-19 isn't just another cold. It can cause lasting harm even without symptoms. We have the power to break this cycle. Wearing a high-quality mask in public drastically reduces infections, protecting you and your community.

“The Trump administration acknowledged in a court filing Monday that it had grabbed a Maryland father with protected legal status and mistakenly deported him to El Salvador, but said that U.S. courts lack jurisdiction to order his return.”
An ‘Administrative Error’ Sends a Maryland Father to a Salvadoran Prison
The Trump administration says it mistakenly deported an immigrant with protected status but that courts are powerless to order his return.

Here’s what pro RFK doctors enabled.

Remind them of it often.

They own it.

And we are just getting started.

There's a blatant rise of anti-science influencers on X since RFK became health secretary. In the past week I've seen blue check health influencers claim cigarettes aren't so bad for us and maybe the sun doesn't cause skin cancer

We need some better language for pushing back against what the administration is doing. They’re not “ending DEI.”

No. They're firing women and people of color in the military.
They’re forbidding whole fields of research.
They’re erasing trans people from existence.

A long post about what’s happening to the science funding agencies in the US and why. As mentioned, this one just kept getting longer even as I kept stripping curse words from it.

I mean, great. I love Elizabeth Warren, but neither she nor any other Democratic senators are up to the task here. "Congress must investigate?" DOGE weirdos are inside the Treasury RIGHT NOW. This is like watching a bank robbery in progress and saying, "hmm, we should investigate."
It’s alarming that Elon Musk has access to government payment systems used to deliver Social Security and Medicare benefits. 
 
He also drove out the senior career official at Treasury responsible for preventing a potential default on U.S. debt.
 
Congress must investigate.
Elon Musk’s Team Now Has Full Access to Treasury’s Payments System
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent gave Mr. Musk’s representatives at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency a powerful tool to monitor and potentially limit government spending.

Get people safe. Get the fires out. Then, build back different. No more building for the climate of the 20th century. Build back like we know climate disasters are coming. Build back like we know climate disasters are here.

“All of this fear mongering & scapegoating ultimately serves multiple purposes: ginning up skepticism about the next pandemic—whatever it may be, before it even appears—as well as preemptively creating hostility against any vaccine that might be developed to fight it in order to peddle fake cures.”
Dr. Peter Hotez, a scientist and vaccine expert, went on TV recently to explain that Trump’s second term is going to involve responding to new disease outbreaks. His remarks are being twisted to create a very profitable and virulent new conspiracy theory: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
The conspiracy world is pushing paranoia about a post-inauguration “plandemic”
Trump will face new viral threats, but anti-vax forces are twisting words to suggest a targeted plot.

We’ve all said for four years it’s mild and wash your hands. Now it looks like we’re wrong.

Except if we change our mind we might be held accountable for our errors and persistent rejection of science.

So we really have no choice but to say the same things, and to ignore evidence to the contrary.

I wish people would understand that the threat of Covid is so significant that the choice isn’t “wear a mask or don’t wear a mask”

It’s “wear a mask or risk your long term health & health of everyone else”.

Your health is worth protecting and there’s value in caring about protecting others

It is exhausting having to research and figure out everything from black plastics to best ventilation practices to COVID vaccine schedules, I know this is a wild idea but have we thought about creating publicly funded government bodies that could manage and regulate this stuff on our behalf

Disabled people are often canaries in coal mine - anything that will harm or impact others tends to hit us harder & faster (climate issues, healthcare cuts, medication & supply chain issues)

Depending on others for survival is precarious

Include us in any resistance efforts. Don’t leave us behind.
