Merry fucking Christmas from CDC leadership 🎄🔥 Multiple Title 42 scientists recently had their contracts renewed--then days before Christmas were told the renewals were a mistake. Some are now being told they may have to pay back salary earned in the interim.

If you make a billion dollars — or $500 million or even $100 million dollars — and you keep trying to make more, then there is something seriously wrong with you. It's a mental illness akin to hoarding or drug addiction.

BREAKING: Advice for new moms from old white men. 🤰
Look, we are all about breastfeeding. We think it’s the right choice for women who can, especially in the first 6m. But if you cannot breastfeed your baby, using formula is FINE.
Using formula doesn’t make you a bad mom. Listening to 🧠🪱 may.

Why should this matter beyond CDC? Targeting vulnerable groups isn’t just unethical; history shows it’s a hallmark of authoritarian regimes.
Nazis, for example, systematically oppressed and murdered disabled people to consolidate power.
