🧵 Summary of Ruben Gallego's tele-town hall, which lasted less than an hour since it started late. Lots of concerns from constituents about Elon Musk and DOGE cuts. Gallego also said he'll be holding IRL town halls throughout March.

"The abrupt termination of critical USAID-funded clinical trials, with insufficient time to safeguard the welfare of people who are participating, is profoundly unethical and utterly inexcusable"

The abrupt end of USAID-funded clinical trials is profoundly unethical
USAID's stop-work order threatens to undo decades of progress in medical research ethics and cause harm to clinical trial participants.

New article in @convergence about the dignity and power of rural people, places, and organizing which we should all invest in. Proud to be a co-author with my friend Stephen Smith, also one of my fellow co-founders of the Rural Defenders Union. ❤️‍🔥

Ohh nooo local democrats introduced one measure trying to protect immigrant communities, how dare they. Maybe they should just keep cranking endlessly to the right and do nothing to protect their community. Damn dems not taking cues from the guy organizing with the fascist crypto billionaire

Idk why Gallego gets to create this narrative that he knows what’s best because he beat Kari Lake, who never won an election and was literally getting booed at GOP events for her flip flopping stance of abortion then her primary challenger got 40% of the vote before she squeaked by another general L

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990.
One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS.

The administration’s actions right now are nothing short of petty.

With multiple crises unfolding (Marburg, Ebola, H5N1) they’re using science as a weapon rather than releasing important and timely information.

I thought politicization of COVID was bad, but this is on another level—unbelievable.
It's not just that officials have blocked CDC from publishing bird flu studies

Scientists were ordered to come up with studies on health risks of wildfires instead

That came as the president was criticizing the California governor's handling of fires

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%.

I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters.

You may wonder why altCDC is so political. Public health is as much about the disease as it is about the society in which that disease occurs. We are battling an admin that wants to dismantle US public health, sow misinformation, devalue science, and cripple our ability to respond to health threats.
