You know what else NIOSH was responsible for? Testing and certifying respirators like N95s. Ensuring they could provide adequate protection from smoke, hazardous debris and viral threats.
How can people protect themselves when they can’t access the tools they need?

The entirety of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health was wiped out last night in a form letter sent by RFK Jr.
NIOSH is an agency in the CDC that investigates workplace hazards and finds solutions. It protects workers, so it’s gone. Even firefighters.

The real nut these tech oligarchs are trying to crack is to eliminate the human from the equation entirely. Once they solve that problem they'll really make bank.

Over 85 million Americans are uninsured or underinsured, and more than 60,000 die each year because they can't afford to see a doctor. Health care should be a human right—not a privilege. I'm proud to support Medicare for All.

My latest is a conversation with @sarahkendzior.bsky.social about dehumanization, fighting back, and what the oligarchs can't take away from us. "They want us to forget our own humanity, to surrender our humanity and to not know what it means to be a human being."

I’ll be supporting Phil Weiser for Colorado Governor. No question. Much better for Colorado .
Based on the voting patterns of the rest of the caucus, Hickenlooper would be expected to vote with Republicans about 15% of the time. His actual figure is almost twice that — the largest pro-Trump skew of any Dem senator. Bennet ranks sixth out of 47 by the same metric.
