We all know it's soup season, but did we also know it's 💩season? Norovirus causes 🤮 and 💩 and cases rise in the winter. It's transmitted the "fecal-oral" route -- that's what you think.

🙌 Wash your hands, people!

Thank you @seattletimes.com for publishing.

The exclusion of nursing as a professional degree will impact the future pipeline of advanced practice nurses, educators, & future leaders. We must demand inclusion of nurses in the Dept of Education's proposed rule

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Enough…We all must firmly reject the misrepresentation of the facts by the CDC and RFK Jr. Patients should trust the nurses, physicians, and healthcare experts who do the work are accountable for the advice they provide.
WSNA unequivocally rejects language recently posted by the CDC on its website stating that: “The claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism.”

We call on the CDC to remove this harmful misinformation immediately.

WSNA opposes a Department of Education proposal that would bar nursing graduate programs from “professional degree” status, limiting loans and harming the future nursing workforce.
WSNA opposes excluding nursing from “professional degree” programs
Without access to sufficient loans, the impact on the nursing workforce, including the work of preparing new nurses to enter the workforce, can be severe.

The CDC is now stating that vaccines may cause autism - a claim that has been serially debunked by scientists and doctors alike.

Dr. Gupta said it best: Ultimately, what this means for all of us, is that we can’t trust the CDC anymore. They are not a scientific or public health authority.

I don’t know why, and I don’t want to make a big hairy deal out it so ICE’s Special Media Prosecutor Division doesn’t notice, but People Magazine has been incredibly straightforward with their Trump headlines when he’s being a weird old asshole.

They’re a quiet Facebook behemoth, so this is good.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

9/9 AltCDC remembers when “service” meant showing up.

We want to help - our admin won’t let us.

Reporters: please look into this.
👉 Ask why CDC won’t send Epi-Aid teams when lives are at stake.
👉 Ask who made the call.

Good morning! Day 4 of the Sandwich Guy’s trial. He is finally wearing a suit (the rest of the week’s evidence suggests he seems to prefer pullovers in cooler weather). The jury has a note for the judge.

If the sandwich don’t split, you must acquit
Defense says that the officer's testimony was "very questionable" because he said the sandwich both exploded in spray of mustard and onions and also landed in its wrapper on the ground.

Defense begins, “This case, ladies and gentlemen, is about a sandwich. A sandwich that according to Agent Lairmore somehow both exploded on his chest in a spray of mustard and onions but also landed intact on the ground still in its Subway wrapper.”

The officer Sandwich Guy is charged with assaulting testifies that he could feel the impact of the sandwich through his ballistic vest, and it “exploded all over my uniform.” He says he could “smell the onions and the mustard.”

Donald Trump is telling his DOJ to prosecute people involved in defeating him in 2020. He will claim the 2025 California referendum was fraudulent. He is going to try to impose voter ID and ban mail-in and early voting for 2026.

I will do everything I can in the courtroom and in public to stop him.
