In addition to cleaning house at the CDC today, they’ve “RIF’d” CISA as well. It’s telling what they’ve decided are “Democrat-oriented” agencies. Unsettling thread on the consequences of CISA’s decimation 👇 bsky.app/profile/skil...

RIFed: The Center for Forecasting and Outbreak Analytics(CFA)/ informatics. 🧠🪱 - I thought we WANTED to stop public health emergencies? And efficiency and improvement sound like … good things 🫠 🧠🪱 - respectfully, you’re a human malware update nobody approved. Fuckin’ idiot. Killing people.

RIFed: National Center for Immunization & Respiratory Diseases (NCIRD), Office of Director OD sets tone for the rest of the center, determine priorities, review high profile science, etc NCIRD focuses: Flu. Whooping cough. Polio. Covid. Meningitis. Yeah, you want this center to fully function 🤯

RIFed: Office of Science (OS) - MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) MMWR is crucial to quickly disseminate info about infectious disease. Like the famous MMWR in 1981 about an outbreak of pneumocystis pneumonia among gay men in LA. That was the first mention of what is now known as AIDS

RIFed: Office of Science - CDC Library They have helped SO many of us with their expertise & guidance so we can do efficient & quick research. You don’t need us toiling in Pubmed for days at a time during an outbreak. The library helps us get what we need quickly so we can continue our work.

RIFed Civilians in Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS)-CDC’s Disease Detectives Read about this rigorous training program 👇 "They are not household names but over the years they were first to confront the outbreaks that became known as hantavirus, Ebola & AIDS." This decision will haunt our future

RIFed: Global Health Center - Office of the Director GHC works to reduce illness and respond to health threats worldwide - BECAUSE HEALTH ISSUES WORLDWIDE WILL AFFECT THE USA AS WELL. (and also, it’s the right thing to do) GHC’s leadership - gone. Doesn’t seem efficient (or wise) to me.

all at once? won’t that make him autistic

Portland is showing us the way. Who else has ordered their costume for the No Kings rally? 🐸🐼🐭🐸🐵🐤🐧🐞🦖

🧵👇

I don't know if there's such a thing as a "world cyberwar" but I think we are in one? and the US is determined to lose it. 🧵 Today the admin is mass-firing the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the nation's cybersecurity protection across all levels of government.

Spot the difference.

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

Frog speaks out. ❤️🐸🤍🐸💙 ✊️🇺🇸✊️

I confirmed that around 9:45 a.m. Friday a group of Ravenswood neighbors yelled for federal immigration agents near Ravenswood Elementary School, 4332 N. Paulina St., to leave. They did. This and more from @blockclubchi.bsky.social's team here: blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/10/w...

Yet another lawsuit needed. 🤬

Pritzker to @gregsargent.bsky.social: "Trump says a lot of crazy things. I genuinely think there's something wrong with him. I wish his family would intervene... I don’t think anybody around is going to do it bc they’re benefiting from his dementia" Full interview: newrepublic.com/article/2016...

It was never about “free health care for illegals.” This is always what it was about. They have no intention of “fixing” the ACA, they intend to defund it.

The administration has added another layer of Orwellian vandalism to the DOJ Civil Rights website.

💙This is awesome.💙 Love and support Governor Pritzker and Chi-town.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke the information that the administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act is the report that Stephen Miller is driving the issue.

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law. Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois. And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

BREAKING: A federal judge has partially blocked the Trump administration's efforts to mobilize the National Guard in Chicago. blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/09/j...

✊️🇺🇸✊️. ❤️🤍💙

What Governor Pritzker is doing is right for his state, but it is vital for the Republic.

🚨🚨🚨Chicago - NOW!🚨🚨🚨 1/2

Way to go, Chicago, more of this! Kristi Noem is upset that ICE agents in Chicago are being “denied entry” to restrooms and lunch spots.

Chicago Police were ordered to not help ICE Gestapo! 🤣😂✊🏼 #iceout #chicago

Greg Abbott is a lackey of Donald Trump. He’s going against exactly what he said he would do last year.

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker explains what he believes is Donald Trump's real goal in normalizing a military presence in U.S. cities by dressing ICE and Border Patrol agents in military gear. Watch:

Pretty clear Stephen Miller, Noem, Hegseth and Trump are trying to provoke a Civil War at this point. What's interesting is they want to do it now, because even though they're unpopular, they seem to believe this is the most popular they'll be ever again. We can't let them win.

Things to consider: Document the violence & violations--on camera, w/photos, saving images--any way you can. Speaking as a historian- it will matter Point out violations--w/images & text--even if you think it won't matter. It will. It needs to be called out & exposed You are a witness. Expose it.

Holy 💩 Proof the #ICE agents are not trained. They are a danger tot themselves and everyone else. What a mess. These are crazy times.

I literally just posted about this. I wrote a scribble. She wrote prose. 💜 Our hearts break. #ChicagoStrong ✊️ From @leonicia.bsky.social substack.com/home/post/p-...

This country is going to need massive therapy. 🤬 1/2

If you’re running for office and you cannot say that these criminals should be held responsible for their crimes and abuses then you are not worthy of being trusted with power. Period. End of story. This is the absolute baseline for everyone who wants to be a leader right now.

Well, that's a bald-faced lie. "Law-abiding Americans who love this country" would eliminate Kristi Noem AND the whole of ICE. 😒

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE: This statement is a clear example of what is known as “State Terrorism”: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

My message to Kristi Noem is clear: Get out of Chicago.

He'll no doubt be given an ICE uniform and sworn in before you know it. 😠

The year is 2003. 17-year-old Stephen Miller is sitting in the back of a school bus talking about torture, as in “Torture is a celebration of human life and dignity." Miller looks directly into the camera and describes the torturing Iraqis in gruesome detail, as his peers laugh uncomfortably.
