Can’t quite put my finger on it but I’m getting a feeling that they don’t really care for Trump or Elon in Germany….this was at the street carnival in Düsseldorf today 🤣

The hits just keep on coming...

Edward Coristine joined Elon Musk’s DOGE team at 19 but lost his Path Network internship in June 2022 after leaking proprietary information to a competitor. Following his dismissal, Coristine revealed on Discord that he still had system access and could have disrupted operations but chose not to.

So Pramila, what the fuck are you doing about it? Pramila

Links to archived versions of every CDC.gov page available pre-purge (Part 10 of 15) Note: All 15 pages can be found here. As horrific as it is that the Trump/Musk Administration is purging data from federal websites, it's good to know that the Internet Archive has been archiving much...

UPDATE: The 10th batch is now available.

This includes links to 500 pages covering everything from National Healthcare Safety Network training to the *Spanish-language* version of information about Oropuche virus infection.

While this is hardly ruble, at least copies were preserved recently

The End of Term Archive team @eotarchive.org crawled millions of federal webpages! If you are worried about a page going down or changing information on it, you can check to see if it is saved in the Internet Archive's @waybackmachine.bsky.social. 1/2

🚨 The CDC website is purging resources on LGBTQ+ health, diversity, equity, and health disparities. This is not just a bureaucratic change. It’s a dangerous decision with profound negative public health consequences. Let’s break down the harm this will cause. 🧵⬇️

Their grip can not contain us all.

Hey, @altspaceforce1.bsky.social @altcdc.bsky.social, did you guys see this?

I just read this to Tirzah - it is a good thing her mouth was empty…

🛬UPDATE—Airport control tower was understaffed at time of DCA airport crash—one controller was working 2 different tower positions, normally done by 2 people—which FAA memo says was “not normal for the time of day and volume of traffic”. ➡️We should not downsize the FAA

White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

Y'all: This is devastating for universities. Imagine you have a colony of research animals and can't re-order the food. Or you are a grad student on grant funding who lives paycheck-to-paycheck (also know as a student on grant funding). wapo.st/4gfgcHQ

Top USAID career staff placed on immediate leave “This is like taking out all the generals,” said a former Trump administration official informed of the decision.

In addition to the WHO, CDC has halted communication with USAID. This is not just a humanitarian disaster, but drastically limits our visibility of health events that could impact us.

Thanks, @hcrichardson.bsky.social for directing me here in today’s Letter.

Is Trump suggesting state owned media? I can’t stress how dangerous this is. I’m also concerned no one will care because they’ll get to keep their TikTok

TODAY’S EPISODE OF:
WE FU*CKING WARNED YOU

Trump ran on cutting government waste. Apparently, your healthcare IS government waste.

First there were books. Then a movie based on the books. Then a book adapted from that. Then a stage musical. Now a theatrical release. Truly, there is no rest for the Wicked

Being asked what it will take...pray for rain. Socal has had 0.1 inches of rain since July. Normally it increases starting in Sept or October. This shift is due to climate change.

Who else is really looking forward to not watching the Inauguration?
