What's happening at the CDC should frighten every American
Regardless of whether you are MAGA, MAHA, neither, or don't give a damn about labels or politics.
It's unclear whether the CDC director—confirmed just weeks ago—has been fired or not. Absolute shitshow.
And incredible career professionals resigned tonight, sounding a massive alarm.
This is pure chaos that leaves the country unprepared.
Imagine cases of Ebola in the U.S. right now?
We would be an absolute mess.
It's easy to tune this all out, to celebrate what you might see as 'cleaning house', or just not care what's happening.
But I promise you, when confronted with the next serious health threat, we will quickly see everything we've lost.
We will regret this. I promise, we will regret this.

People really love to rewrite history.
Schools began phased return June 2020, with all back by Sept.
‘Eat Out to Help Out’ was Aug 2020, people were literally encouraged into restaurants.
Nightclubs reopened July 19th 2021.
Hardly the endless, oppressive lockdown cited here.

I told Beth I felt sort of pre-dead: I’d given up all my goals for life, every purpose I’d organized myself around, every expectation that used to ground me. And yet I was still alive. So what was left, with all of that gone? What is it to live, pre-dead? jrehmeyer.substack.com/p/hol…

“Living with #MECFS is like holding what has no meaning.”
@julierehmeyer’s new piece about illness and grief for her friend Beth Mazur is searing and unforgettable. I’m better today, but when I was sickest, this paragraph was my life:

RIP Paul Durcan.
This was the first poem I read by him, and it absolutely broke me.

I want everyone to understand the impossible scale of Israel’s slaughter. Every single family killed should be a story in its own right, should be multiple articles and TV news reports. Consider how many hours, months, years it would take to give each family in Gaza the news coverage they deserve. My god.
This is Khalil Al-Tatari, a nursing graduate. When life grew difficult, he came to work with us at @EuroMedHR for a time, helping in support services.
Last night, Israel killed him along with his children, his wife, his mother, & his siblings, though they had committed no crime.

Politicians who refer to foreign care workers as 'low skilled' should be forced to work in an understaffed care home for a week

"You have no idea that in reality you have no actual rights over your own family life."
Thanks @IsabellaMcraeWas for covering the stories of some of the thousands of families kept apart or exiled as a result of the UK's migration rules.

@GeorgeMonbiot @peterjukes blowing the dust off this old thread because we need to focus on what Farage is in simple terms. The stream of bullshit and hate masks a very simple strategy.

The science has not failed.
What’s failed is the political will to protect.
The understanding that vaccines are not a luxury, they’re infrastructure.
That trust is not optional, it’s strategic.
That public health is not a cost, it’s a national security asset.

Vaccination rates among kindergartners are collapsing in entire states.
Some schools have <70% MMR coverage.
The threshold for herd immunity? 95%.
We’re not slipping.
We’ve already fallen off the cliff.

What we’re watching across North America is a controlled demolition of public health.

can someone inform @RachelReevesMP that disabled adults aren’t children who want pocket money for frivolous things, but are in fact adults who need to pay rent/buy food/access healthcare? infantilising us at the same time you cut support to basic human rights isn’t a great look
Chancellor tells @IainDale she pays her kids between five and ten pounds a week each
And backs Darren Jones who compared cutting benefits to slashing pocket money for kids
Rachel Reeves: "If you have a 16 yr old and say, I won't give you so much pocket money, I want you to go out to work. And the OBR comes and does an impact assessment and says you're going to be worse off... you will be worse off if you don't get a Saturday job, but if they do they will be better off. There are a lot of people who have a disability who are desperate to work."

They coordinated with the Red Cross. They went in to save lives. Israel executed all 16 of them—ambulance crews, first responders—then buried their bodies & destroyed their vehicles. This isn’t self-defense. This is a war crime. A massacre. And the world is still silent.
🚨 BREAKING: Execution of 16 Ambulance Crew Members by Israeli Forces in Rafah southern Gaza
Horrific Massacre : Following coordination with the International Red Cross, Civil Defense teams entered the Tel Al-Sultan area in Rafah, south of Gaza.
It was confirmed that Israeli forces had executed all 16 members of the missing Civil Defense and Red Crescent teams, who had disappeared four days ago.
They were found buried near the barracks. Additionally, all Red Crescent ambulances and Civil Defense firefighting vehicles at the site were deliberately destroyed.

comparing disabled people (a group very famously slaughtered en masse by the nazis) to hitler while the government brings in sweeping benefit cuts is certainly… a choice 😳

Our NIH grant to discover coronavirus antiviral meds was terminated today.
With this grant, we had developed a better SARSCoV2 inhibitor than Paxlovid, and we recently discovered an improved drug that looks better than Pfizer's own second-generation inhibitor.

The Trump Administration gave Columbia University until Thursday to meet its demands before they will even discuss $400 Million it cut in federal funding.
I sat down with one Columbia epidemiologist whose research is on hold as a result.

They arm a tiny sky with F16s and F35s to unleash hell on children who are starving and attempting to find rest in tents and dilapidated homes, some of which are barely holding together.

One of the things that gets me most about @UKLabour coming for disabled people who can’t work, is that it’s heavily implied that it is a choice.
It is not a choice. I would LOVE to be able to work. I have always been driven.
Here is why I CAN’T work… 🧵
