Person A: This isn't who we are!
Me: Yes, it is. This is who we've always been.
Person B: How did we get here???
Me: We've been here all along.
Absolutely. Masks off racism is so familiar to me from the early 90s dismissal of people’s humanity as “political correctness.”
Going to avoid reposting the WH’s stmt for Child Abuse Prevention Month instead say:
Every child deserves to grow up safe, supported, and free to be themselves.
Affirming care helps trans youth thrive.
Let’s lead with compassion, facts, and a shared commitment to every kid’s well-being.
CDC’s tobacco program wasn’t eliminated to save money. Federal employee salaries are only about 4% of the Federal budget. The Office on Smoking & Health was eliminated BECAUSE our work is highly efficient and cost effective. Make no mistake that tobacco companies won today.
The CDC's Office of Smoking and Health funds local and state tobacco prevention and treatment programs. 490,000 people *still* die of tobacco-related illness in the US annually. This will have enormous health consequences.
This is a great piece on how acting NIH Director Matthew Memoli and his MAGA cronies at HHS are twisting the story on indirect costs. @insidehighered.com www.insidehighered.com/opinion/view...
TAG strongly opposes the nomination of Dr. Jay Bhattacharya for director of the NIH. Get the full details in our statement here: www.treatmentactiongroup.org/statement/tr...
PubMed is a VITAL public health tool. This is not a niche nerdy thing. It’s how your doctor knows what chemotherapy combinations work, at what doses, for whom. It’s how biomedical researchers learn from what came before to prioritize new research directions.
This is chilling. To claim that trans health is not human health is eugenics, and has no place in scientific research
One of the important ways NIH funding is being gutted: eliminating a pathway for diversifying the research workforce

Before we talk more about disability, we need to address the history of eugenics, ableism and racism that haunts US public health work.
Don’t stop doing the things you love, loving the people you love and showing that love in acts of communal care because you’re afraid. Fear is how they thrive. Community. Care. Joy and Love is how we rebel. 🌈 💙✊🏽#communityasrebellion
I think this is fantastic. For broader reach, I also suggest a plain language version. A lot of the language here (e.g., loyalists, efficiency, autocratic, political theorist) requires a high literacy level. (I am happy to take a stab at this - if it's helpful, please DM me the text).
Did you know that the CDC's work goes way beyond responding to outbreaks? They're also vital for tracking long-term health issues like tobacco use, which has devastating, chronic consequences.

Tomorrow, I'm doing a webinar for clinicians who want to advocate for Medicaid with their federal elected leaders, as Medicaid faces existential threats.
Clinicians are some of the best possible advocates for Medicaid, and I am really, really good at this. We won't waste your time. 🧵

8/8. So, if you’re feeling down about these attacks, I understand—I feel that way too. But just remember that they’re not attacking because your work doesn’t matter; they’re attacking *precisely* because it does. So, get some rest, connect with your people, and keep doing it.
^ that should have been in quotes, and is from the Bassett and Reinhart article that is linked
Appreciate you adding the alt text
If we want to reduce the burden of disease and keep people alive, this list centers exactly where our efforts must focus.
Staff at CDC are being asked to scrub data on trans and non-binary folks from datasets.
Public health ethics hold us to the highest ethical, professional, and scientific standards. Deleting data about Americans is unethical.
OPM has ZERO authority over CDC practices. Obey the law.

This Fiona Apple narrated explainer PSA on how to film (and release footage from, not livestream) ICE arrests is exactly what we need from people with production skills right now and is worth about 3 million celebrity “imagine” covers in terms of survival utility
As we organise with one another to begin the impossible but necessary task of atoning for the violence with which our nation and its medical field have been – and continue to be – complicit, we must own our ethical responsibility.

Watching in real time how the policy of complying in advance actually reduces scientific productivity
CDC staff have been forced to remove dozens of chronic health applications and to change open data sets that contain gender.
These are YOUR data and YOUR tools.
Be angry. Be LOUD.
