When I saw the examples are numerous, I mean it. Feel free to head to any of these organizations pages on this site. Outside of TSA and FDA (who as of this post being made, has no posts on this platform), they are all violating the Hatch Act across their websites and social media.

Since the whole US Gov't is now on BlueSky posting propaganda, we have to learn about the Hatch Act here too.
I don't think talking about this is going to stop these agencies, but I want you ALL to be aware how people in positions of power can try to control you by feeding you manipulative info.

I'm writing cards again for National Vet Tech Week. But remember, celebration weeks don't replace the much-needed change we need in this profession.
I hope my cards bring you joy, and make you feel valued. It's just one piece of the puzzle to make this profession better 🖤

Apparently I needed to post this here while vetmed professionals attack one another for not grieving a neoNazi. Unbelievable
Didnt know ppl were proud to defend someone who called the Civil Rights Act a mistake & queer people like me a disease. But vet med rarely surprises me.

So many Standards of Accreditation are affected by this roll back. This will not only affect current students and faculty, but also affect the admissions process and prospective veterinary students. It will also affect the abilities of new graduate veterinarians.
