This week marks a year since 10% of the CDC work force was fired. We are more vulnerable to the next pandemic,outbreak monitoring is crumbling, measles is basically endemic again,vaccine guidelines are now RFK Jr fan fiction.
All it took was one year.

Hey, if you think what’s happening with healthcare in the US is terrible because healthcare is a human right and it’s being made inaccessible… you could stop spreading illness that folks can’t afford to treat, take time off work to recover from, etc.
Mask up. N95s are community care.

I called! Did you call?
Really important to call your senators if you haven’t already and tell them unequivocal no for money to DHS and no on reforms. They haven’t voted yet and already have history of caving. Also tell them no one believes in Schumer, he has led the party to defeat after defeat & his strategies suck ass.
Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”
Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.
So pathetic and weak.
