Hold RFK Jr accountable by signing the letter: savehhs.org #HHSUnited #SaveHHS

CDC scientists receive a heroes welcome after walking out today.

This is all true. We are in for some dark times, unless something dramatic changes, quickly. AND: those of us in the field of public health, are needed more now, than ever. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/o...

Today we approach the 20th anniversary of Katrina, FEMA workers across the nation sound the alarm on unqualified leadership, interference w/ ability to execute, our mission,staff cuts & more. Join us in signing The Katrina Declaration. #katrinadeclaration www.standupforscience.net/fema-katrina...

The ISEE-NAC Policy Committee recently released a statement about the U.S. Trump Administration's policies to dismantle systems and agencies that protect public and environmental health. Read the full statement here: https://loom.ly/wvIraJg

Been hearing folks don’t realize NIH is more than its internal labs. That cutting NIH is ok because Dana Farber will still do cancer research. Joslin will cover diabetes, etc. But these centers get most of their funding from NIH. Stop NIH, and the whole system fails, across the entire US.

Two things had a huge influence on the CDC shooting: 1️⃣ The head of HHS spreading antivax rhetoric 2️⃣ Social media companies failing to address rampant antivax misinformation on their platforms

100% true. What’s needed is courage and fight. Speak out against the politicization of science.

Trump has entered into a new and wilder stage of authoritarian neofascism. No holds barred. Nothing out of bounds. But tyrants cannot succeed where people refuse to submit to them. And we must not submit.

Science: Protecting Our Communities. Serving the Common Good. We designed these signs for the March for Science to convey that scientists are every day heroes for helping everyone live better lives. Shame on those spreading misinformation and making scientists targets of violence and harassment.

Outstanding and depressing piece "Victor Ambros, a Nobel Prize-winning worm biologist, zooms in on mutant roundworms wriggling across a yellowish agar gel."

Non-science post: This is the kind of thing the British King did that caused Americans to rise up, issue the Declaration of Independence, and launch the Revolutionary War.

Remember when we all used to clap every night to thank doctors, nurses, scientists, and public health workers for saving lives? Thanks to disinformation, people in these professions are now frequently threatened and attacked. There is no way society can keep functioning like this.

Fully agree with my CDC colleagues: RFK should resign, or be removed. @alsobrooks.senate.gov moved to remove RFK, but it never made it out of committee. She needs more allies. Call your Congresspeople. Tell them you want RFK & his dangerous rhetoric out. www.decaturish.com/public_safet...

The number of people receiving treatment at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center — which cares for patients with rare or life-threatening diseases — has tumbled under the second Trump administration. My story based on interviews w/workers and gov’t docs kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

The Supreme Court is reviewing a vitally important NIH case on its shadow docket. It is likely that the Court will back Trump, and say his (illegal) grant terminations are ok. We must speak up now. 1/

As medical and scientific professional societies committed to clean air and healthy lungs, ATS and ISEE North America Chapter, are very concerned that a recent announcement to dismantle the scientific research arm of the EPA will make it harder for people to breathe. Read more:

If you signed the #BethesdaDeclaration, consider also joining the #EPAHeroes speaking out against similarly harmful policies. act.standupforscience.net/forms/epa-ad... If you haven’t yet, today is a great day to sign both! act.standupforscience.net/forms/add-na... @standupforscience.bsky.social

Listen to your mom. Again. Harder. The global warmers are killing us, that's why we're seeking signer/supporters for the brave #EPA staff who dropped #DeclarationOfDissent yesterday calling out oligarch-friendly boss #Zeldin. Resist here act.standupforscience.net/forms/epa-ad... #EverybodyUP

Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom, but also a reminder: freedom delayed is freedom denied. #Juneteenth #BlackHistory #FreedomDay #NeverForget

Imagine a family sues to stop a dangerous chemical plant expansion near their home. They’d be told: “Pay up first.” Even if they’re right, they can’t get the court’s help without cash. It’s a paywall on justice, shielding government overreach by pricing the public out of court.

Remember when Trump falsely claimed that Biden wasn’t doing enough to help North Carolina recover from Hurricane Helene? Now his FEMA is holding up or denying states' disaster mitigation requests, which fund projects that help communities recover faster after natural disasters. Hello?

"Intellectuals often expose the lies of governments and provide challenging analyses of our society and culture. When they are silenced and their institutions crippled, critical thinking disappears—and with it, the foundation of a free Republic." #DefendHigherEd

"An open letter from staff to their own agency’s director is atypical—but, National Institute of General Medical Sciences research fellow Ian Morgan says, staffers have tried fruitlessly to reach Bhattacharya through more conventional routes." zurl.co/8Ngp4 #BethesdaDeclaration #StandUpForScience

A little more on RFK's new vaccine committee: Malone - claimed vaccines cause AIDS Kulldorff - promoted mass COVID infection Meissner - opposed vaccines and masks for kids Pebsworth - worked at antivax nonprofit Levi - FL Surgeon General cited his paper when recommending not to get COVID vax

Good morning. Today we celebrate Loving Day—honoring the 1967 Supreme Court decision that struck down bans on interracial marriage. It’s a powerful reminder that love can change the law—and the world. Here’s to progress, unity, and love in all its forms. ❤️

We proudly stood up for science and the health of our nation today. #NIH You can too! Sign this open letter of support: 🧪🧠🧬

“Jay Bhattacharya, the NIH director, has made a point of welcoming dissent. A letter from from his officials will test that.” 💥Be careful what you wish for, Jay. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi... #StandUpForScience #BethesdaDeclaration

It doesn't end with the illegal immigrants folks, it's actually just the beginning.

Our authenticity is our power. We deserve the freedom to be ourselves — not who the Trump administration wants us to be.

The #BethesdaDeclaration stories are now up on the front pages of both the New York Times and the Washington Post. Thanks again to the brave folks at NIH who stood up and worked together to make this happen. 1/n

The agenda of mass deportations is deeply anti-worker. One in five workers in America is an immigrant. They’re vital to the fabric of our communities. The real threat workers face is corporate greed, not immigrants.

Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism. https://www.commondreams.org/news/david-huerta-arrested

www.politico.com/newsletters/... "Half an hour in, about 50 people walked out, led by members of the NIH fellows union, in protest of program cuts, layoffs and funding uncertainty." @nihfellowsunited.bsky.social

NEW: Dozens of staffers walked out of Jay Bhattacharya’s first town hall event on Monday after the NIH director said he believed the lab leak conspiracy theory. We got video. www.importantcontext.news/p/i-believe-...

The NIH Director continues to misunderstand (or mischaracterize) the extent to which research is being gutted. I appreciate this program officer for speaking up.

Yesterday — just weeks after a judge released him from detention — our client Mohsen Mahdawi graduated from Columbia University. This is a momentous moment for him and for all of us who believe in our right to speak truth to power.

Heartbreaking article on trauma White House officials deliberately inflicted on federal workers. Russell Vought is behind this cruelty—don’t forget his name. Fed fam & beyond: You matter. You’re not alone. If you’re struggling, call 988 for support. [gift link below—thanks, public health guy]

Today, NIH Fellows United and our colleagues walked out of NIH Director Jayanta Bhattacharya’s Town Hall. Dr. Bhattacharya's tenure at NIH has been marked with damaging cuts to NIH personnel and biomedical research funding.

I like presidents who make war on cancer, not on cancer researchers. This #MothersDay, how many of you have mothers who were hurt by cancer? Be outraged. In their name or memory, tell your legislators you don’t vote for cancer promoters. Congressional switchboard: (202) 224-3121

We love to see it! Thank you to the many unions and nonprofits stepping up to fight We are stronger together!

The hits keep coming, y’all. In a new move in their continued dismantling of the National Park Service, the Trump administration, hundreds of employees were removed from their position as rangers. Employees were told Friday afternoon they were being “consolidated” to the Department of the Interior.
