These emails, sent across agencies, compel all federal employees to snitch on any colleague whose work might have some vague DEIA inflection. Those who refuse to snitch will be disciplined.
Seems designed to put all workers who aren’t white men under a cloud of suspicion. Truly vile stuff.

As a pediatric nurse, I’m already seeing the drop in vaccination rates, and devastating effects, in children. So many children will die under this psycho.
The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices is currently stacked with academic experts well versed in the science of vaccines. A new secretary of Health and Human Services could rapidly change that, Katherine J. Wu writes: theatln.tc/Y9p27ghh
The Quiet Way RFK Jr. Could Curtail Vaccinations
Changing the membership of an obscure advisory committee could have an outsize effect on Americans’ protection against disease.

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.
