CDC rally, lots of love from passerbys

Walz: The president said it's a bunch of radicals. You're damn right we've been radicalized. Radicalized by compassion, radicalized by decency, radicalized by due process, radicalized by democracy.

The best part about 1917 is SD leaders told women not to turn out for International Women's Day protests in March because it was a lib-coded distraction and they wanted to save their juice for May Day. Instead the women turned out anyway and those protests literally sparked the revolution

@maddow.bsky.social @nicollewallace.bsky.social Here is our No Kings III March from Decorah, IA. We were 700 strong!

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a new mRNA vaccine that has been shown to suppress abnormal blood vessel growth in the retina, offering hope to MILLIONS of patients with age-related vision loss. The vaccine triggered strong antibody responses that REDUCED retinal damage by UP TO 85%.

“When homophobic hate comes my way and says, ‘Why did you have to make it a gay story?’ We say, ‘Because you ask questions like that. It’s not a gay story it’s a love story, you asshole” —Nick Offerman, his response to people bitching about his character being gay in The Last of Us.

Philly says No Kings!!!

Even a dog knows a piece of shit human when it see one.

Help us give OMB Director & Project 2025 architect Russell Vought the 50th birthday he deserves.

Federal workers are making sure Russell Vought gets the same love on his birthday that he's shown America all year. Join with us in posting birthday wishes for Russell Vought every day until his birthday on March 26.

Last year, he got his own puppet! (Trump on a puppet string) That will be hard to outdo

But current & former CDC staff are up to the task! Our birthday wish for Russell Vought is.... A nice relaxing vacation in Lowndes County, Alabama. Vought cancelled CDC funds to protect Lowndes County from raw sewage and hookworm resulting from outdated water infrastructure.

A little birdie told us that a truly foul, morally bankrupt, repugnant creature name Russell Vought has a birthday soon. Join us in wishing him the birthday karma he is so deserving of! 😌

Hbd (🙄) to the evil bigot who’s aging like raw milk! 🥛🤮

Using our tax dollars to defend himself 🤢

The Pentagon’s restrictions on news outlets violate the First Amendment, a federal judge ruled, and issued an order tossing parts of the department’s policy. It’s a victory for The New York Times, which filed suit in December over the restrictions. nyti.ms/3PegXt0

If I had known Chuck Norris was so politically bad, I would have mindfully not watched his movies instead of just never seeing them.

Look, I may have disagreed with Chuck Norris‘s politics, but that doesn’t mean I can’t also acknowledge he was an untalented actor who made shitty movies. RIP

Happy Birthday to Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and a massive thank you to her for inventing rock and roll

Judge rules US government overreached with transgender health care declaration A federal judge has ruled that the government overreached when it declared certain types of gender-affirming care unsafe for young people.

In a small win for the 🏳️‍⚧️ community, a judge has ruled that 🧠 🪱 didn’t follow proper procedures when he said doctors would be excluded from Medicare and Medicaid programs if they provided treatment to 🏳️‍⚧️ individuals.

So, healthcare for the 🏳️‍⚧️ community remains legal!

Abolish ICE.

There’s no reforming it.

There’s no compromise.

There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

US committee is reconsidering all vaccine recommendations Move is dramatic departure for advisory group under Kirk Milhoan, who says he dislikes the term ‘established science’

RFK Jr’s sham of a vaccine advisory board is now “reevaluating” decades of evidence based, life-saving science & denigrating routine shots while vaccine preventable diseases return. Surely a wise choice as the US has all but lost measles elimination status, and ongoing measles outbreaks persist 🤡🎪

“Thank you all for all of your kind words. When I first started to speak at the meeting today, I had no idea what the reaction was going to be. I am no hero. I am just one of the many public health scientists at CDC who happens to have been entrusted with a leadership role and the platform to be able to put words to what we were all thinking. The real credit (and the cookies) should go to the teams in the Division of Viral Hepatitis, Immunization Safety Office (DHQP), Immunization Services Division, and NCIRD OD who did the real work that led up to today. If you want to do something to recognize the hard work that went into making it possible for me to stand up this week and advocate for our children, do something for those groups, or better yet, do something for the unsung heroes you work with every day. They deserve the acclamation as much or more than I do.”

We are leaving you tonight we words from Adam Langer aka our fav CDC hero who went toe to toe with ACIP today. 💪

Before October ends, it’s worth reminding folks of the importance of breast cancer screening. Mammograms are recommended for 👻🐝 >40 and folks of all ages with higher risk of breast cancer. Everyone (even you, men!) should do self-examinations ~1x per month.

Fuck heaven, then.

I wonder how they'll turn this worker into a loyalist. Had a serious discussion the other day with a former spy about loyalty oaths.
