Many disabled people are trapped in abusive relationships.
They’re living in unhealthy environments because they can’t afford to leave.
They’re homeless.

⚠️ 2025: WHO forecasts a global shortfall of 11.1 million health workers by 2030.
While the nursing workforce has grown to almost 30 million worldwide, inequalities between countries are a barrier to achieving universal health coverage.

A “funeral that would never end.”
That’s how the CEO of a Florida nursing home characterizes the exodus of 38 immigrant workers, as they lose their temporary protected status.
“They’re my best employees.”

First they decided to strip nursing of its “professional” designation.
Now they’re removing a requirement that ensured nursing homes receiving Medicare or Medicaid funding had an RN available 24/7.
This regime doesn’t care about the elderly & disabled.
This policy change will kill people.

Nursing homes are about to get a lot worse, thanks to Trump and RFK Jr.
We can debate tax policy. We can debate spending priorities. But protecting the elderly should not be a debate at all.

Does it interest anyone on here to know that in a few small communities in the Nordics people still eat seabird eggs, and that we are going to screen those eggs for PFAS next summer to estimate the human exposure via consumption of seabird eggs. Let me hear your thoughts #seabirds #PFAS 🧪🌍

Damnatio memoriae, Latin phrase: "condemnation of memory," was a Roman practice of erasing a disgraced person (often a tyrant or enemy of the state) from official records, destroying their images, chiseling names from monuments, and nullifying laws, essentially making it as if they never existed. 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Why are we allowing these billionaires to treat us like our lives have no value?
A Tesla worker in my district was electrocuted because the company cut corners. OSHA’s fine was just $50,000.
Elon Musk makes that back in nine minutes from federal contracts alone.
A worker’s life is worth more than a rounding error to a billionaire.
