Someone needs to ask, "how does it save money to lay off people who aren't receiving paychecks?"

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 18h

BRENNAN: CBS confirmed the Trump administration rescinded the layoffs of CDC scientists. Some were involved with the federal measles response. How does a mistake like this happen?

VANCE: The govt shutdown inevitably leads to some chaos. It happened because of Schumer

B: But this was a WH decision

They are building a Propaganda State.

They are cooking the books on job creation.

Now they are rigging death numbers so no one knows how many people die because of their attacks on vaccines and science.

Posting this for anyone- myself included- who gets questioned for doing “white people stuff.” No, it’s our stuff. How do you think our ancestors survived, not just in the colonial diaspora, but in our ancestral homelands?
Being in nature is returning to our native roots also. 🍄 🌱

We gave up much of our soft power by dismantling USAID. Now the epidemiologists and global health specialists at CDC are getting axed, further reducing our ability to make friends and influence people abroad (and help contain their outbreaks)

The MAGA Twitter/X accounts I monitor seem to so far be avoiding mention that Trump got a COVID booster today, but Katie Pavlich just tweeted an image of the report, without comment, and more than half the replies are horror that he got the evil jab.

EPA is required to reconsider air quality standards every 5 years. Trump #1 opted not to lower the PM2.5 limit (despite epi support to change), Biden lowered it in a re-do, but Trump #2 is gonna do whatever the f he wants

Nor do we have a known dose-response relationship for many of these chemicals that would tell whether a health effect is likely at trace levels.

So.. more research is needed ok. And I'm personally trying to use fewer plastics (especially single use) for environmental reasons. Enjoy your panicking!

This CNN piece is typical environmental fear-mongering

"alarming" "toxic stew" "we are the canary. everyone's a canary" halp

They tested for plastics-related chemicals in wristbands worn by 3 reporters. The presence of these compounds does not tell how much is actually being absorbed.

CNN screenshot: headline "three cnn reporters on three continents wore chemical-tracking wristbands. the results were alarming". photos of 3 people looking at a black silicon band on their wrist.

It is intolerable that Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez, a non-citizen, was killed in Illinois. Our legal status does not determine whether it is okay for undertrained & overhyped goons in uniform to shoot us on the spot

This is not going to end well. Sooner or later an American citizen is going to get killed.

MAGA Americans sent to the meat grinder on the Ukraine front.
On a muffled phone line to Moscow, a member of the Russian armed forces deployed to Ukraine can be heard reassuring his family that he is “alive and well”. The soldier is not Russian, he is Derek Huffman, Arizona welder and father of 6

The Americans moving to wartime Russia for ‘traditional values’

Moscow promotes visa scheme aimed at those disaffected by western society
