After making a plan to vote out the spineless reps responsible for this

I am white hot. You do not want me white hot.

It should have ended at this moment.

As the disability nurse who has been screaming into the void

Dear Denmark: Bring on the hygge. Love, Your friendly CA native nurse

If fentanyl is a weapon of mass destruction then what is unleashing measles across vulnerable populations in the United States

6/ This is not a debate. That data is crystal clear. Since the 1996 Port Arthur massacre, Australia’s buyback program and strict licensing have kept mass shootings to ~0–1 per year. The U.S. has about 400–650 mass shootings annually and over 46,000 gun deaths each year. It’s not even close.

Special kind of hell for those who go after the most vulnerable.

Really not a great idea to piss off nurses, for obvious reasons

Except, of course, it’s *not* all he can say. Cassidy could concede publicly that confirming Kennedy was a tragic mistake. He could call for RFK Jr's resignation. He could schedule hearings, haul the secretary to Capitol Hill, and demand the CDC’s public resources reflect the scientific cannon.

The science hasn’t changed. COVID-19 vaccines work & are much safer than getting the disease. CDPH continues to recommend that everyone ages 6 months & older should have access to receive COVID-19 vaccines. 📲 Learn more:  https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/COVID-19/Covid19Vaccines.aspx

On Monday, RFK posted a rambling video on the HHS X account showing a series of graphs and directly stating that vaccines have had minimal impact on human health and saving lives. Today, in response, we brought our own graphs. We will not let his dangerous nonsense go unanswered.

Early voting begins Tuesday, October 6th, 2025 On Nov 4, Californians take power into our own hands. No politicians rigging maps behind closed doors—our voices, our votes, our future. It’s time to level the playing ground‼️ #YesOnProp50

I’m autistic. Not because of Tylenol. Not because of vaccines. Not because of some headline. I’m autistic because that’s how my brain works. Stop treating us like a problem. Start listening to us.

Quite the fucking bad idea Love, Your Friendly Neighborhood Nurse

NEW Kaiser will be offering Covid vax to all members ages 6mos+ 🙌🏼

CA legislators vote today on SB/AB 144 which would remove all references to ACIP from state law + replace with recs from physician-led prof orgs that rely on science. This law would give teeth to the West Coast Health Alliance by requiring that insurers offer shots based on evidence-based guidance

Dear RFK: You can fuck all the way off Love, CA, OR, WA

Hey @capublichealth.bsky.social, where’s our health order?

Guys, nurses are far from being elite establishment. When we sound the alarm it’s legit. Pass the word. Hardcore MAGA won’t budge but others might

Blue state health secretaries need to organize and soft secede STAT

Amen

Call your Senators/Reps to impeach/fire RFK Jr. before he kills us all. www.5calls.org makes it easy to reach them and has a script. CVS and Walgreens Clamp Down on Covid Vaccines in Many States www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/w...

Psych nurse here. Newsom’s tweets are ironic and illuminating. People being pissed means something is hitting. Deep down many know but have been in denial about how disordered Trump is. Being confronted with this forces cognitive dissonance. Hard core MAGA will not budge but others might

Nurse cosign

Blue state health secretaries need to organize AG-style stat

Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:

rfkjr: we just want people to be able to make choices about their own health america: cool can we choose to take the covid booster rfkjr: lol no

Nurse approves

being aware of bad things happening is important, but doomerism is corrosive. it’s a form of voter suppression in that it makes people feel helpless and disincentivizes them from participating (“why bother when we can’t win anyway”). block early and often.

Full support from this 2nd gen Californian, nurse, union member A temporary defensive response Voters must approve Only kicks in if red states gerrymander for ‘26 midterms Does not repeal CA independent redistricting commission Calls for indep redistricting nationwide LFG @governor.ca.gov

"Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr, who oversees the CDC, did not make a statement the day of the shooting. Late the following morning, more than 30 minutes after posting photos of fishing with his family, Kennedy posted condolences on his official X account..." www.nytimes.com/2025/08/09/u...

This was an attack on a federal institution. An attack BECAUSE it is Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This was domestic terrorism. Why isn’t it getting more press coverage? Some coverage, not enough. Domestic. Terrorism.

PSA Love, your friendly neighborhood nurse

next we’ll eliminate looking both ways before crossing the street and fuel a need for tombstones

Immigrants account for 1 in 6 hospital workers 1 in 4 for nursing homes, group homes, and home care 1 in 3 for home care alone The anti-immigrant actions and vibes will cost us dearly As a nurse in disability services this is what keeps me up at night

Good news

Exactly The challenge will be to message this so folks connect the dots And blame the right people

Huge. Hope it sticks. LFG
