An important thread 🧵
A terrorist targeted federal workers last week. There wasn’t much reporting on it. But I’m not finished thinking about it! 🧵
An anti-vaxxer fired more than 500 gunshots into CDC Atlanta, shattering 150 “blast-proof” windows on 6 buildings. Employees were pinned down in terror.

Four CDC buildings shot up. Employees under lockdown and in fear for hours. Public health is physically under attack, and the silence from the administration is deafening.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

You were right the first time Sec Kennedy: none of us should take medical advice from you.
This administration and HHS Sec are ensuring that the USA loses its measles eradication status this year. We would be better off listening to CDC scientists during this outbreak of measles.

The Trump/Musk chainsaw massacre of public services continues.
The Trump Admin has said that these patriotic public servants have been fired for performance. That was a BIG LIE. If poor performance were the test, it’s Trump, Musk and the billionaire cabinet who should be FIRED.

Here is a list of critical federal health programs for families that they want to cut.
Without these programs families will have fewer resources to care for loved ones, young and old. Those on the edge will fall into poverty.

This is Scott – a CDC researcher working to help screen coal miners for black lung.
His entire department was eliminated last week, leaving miners across the country at greater risk of sickness and death. I’m fighting back.
