This is just disgusting. Gold-gilded greed - while children, seniors, families, and the working poor go hungry.

An important update from MCOHS Director Susan Arnold on the NIOSH funding cuts and the impact to MCOHS. The elimination of NIOSH places the future of MCOHS and our entire national occupational health and safety infrastructure in jeopardy.

This is disrespectful to all veterans! Veterans Day is a day we recognize and honor the service of ALL Veterans! I'm so sick of this grandstanding and damn obsession with so-called winning. Yes, it's just one more distraction in a sea of ridiculousness, but it still angers me.

THIS. I can't shout it loud enough! We MUST save DHHS, NIH, etc. RESTORE DHHS. REMOVE RFK.

Oh, and shout out to #TeamD! I am proud to say I work for that MN center and developed their website. Funny as the name is, they do invaluable food safety work!

Praying for our neighbors to the north tonight! #Canada you can do this! Don't make the mistake of your crazy downstairs neighbor who let the crazed rabid raccoon in the house. 🤦‍♀️ VOTE. STAY IN LINE. The sane neighbors down here are pulling for you. Much love from a Minnesotan! 🍁💓

Deaths from heart disease down 75%, that’s NIH.

Deaths from stroke down 75%, that’s NIH.

HIV/AIDS no longer a death sentence, that’s NIH.

99% of FDA approved drugs in the last decade, that’s NIH.

Please show this video to anyone who doesn’t understand why the NIH is so important.

On April 1, the NIOSH workforce was fired, ending 50 years of infrastructure and programs that reduced and prevented workplace injuries, illnesses, and deaths. Help save NIOSH! Take action today - call your legislators and spread awareness on social media. Learn more at mcohs.umn.edu/save-niosh/

Oh Canada indeed! 🍁 Every day, I find the urge to permanently cross that northern border more and more compelling. Couldn't Canada just adopt Minnesota? Pretty, pretty please?

Canada, will you adopt us??? I love Minnesota, but I would gladly join my neighbors to the north.

is it good or bad that a billionaire oligarch with close ties to foreign dictators is currently downloading the most sensitive information the us federal government has about its citizens to his own private servers?

Last April, my daughter and I had the best trip of our lives, a week in beautiful Canada. Amazing scenery, fun, food, and most of all, the people! I encourage everyone to visit and support our neighbors to the north! I can't wait to go back! I just need a shirt that says "I didn't vote for him." 🇨🇦❤️
