Discord is under fire after a recent data breach exposed users’ government IDs.

Donald Trump's reckless and cruel leadership has pushed families to the brink. While he uses shutdowns to scapegoat workers, California is stepping up by providing 248,000 federal workers with critical state protections and relief. We don’t treat public servants as pawns.

OOOPS! UPDATE: Two HHS officials tell me that disease detectives, measles response officers, global health officials and the MMWR staff were laid off by mistake and will be reinstated. But Washington office is still RIFed

#GetOutTheVought‼️ Trump and Vought are decimating the federal workforce. This isn't just a shutdown stunt, this is in line with Project 2025's goal of cutting our government by 1 million workers. STAND WITH SCIENCE! ✊Rally to TAKE BACK SCIENCE 10/17 @ 3pm ET 200 Independence Ave SW, Washington DC

OPM started laying off feds again yesterday - the administration and some Congressional leadership are acting like it's BECAUSE of the shutdown. I explain why that is nonsense and my concerns for how all this impacts federal science. Also discuss impactful wx East and West. tinyurl.com/yc7mtndv

We will NOT stand for Trump and Vought decimating our health sciences with RFK Jr's permission. JOIN US FOR A RALLY AT HHS ON FRIDAY 10/17! WE ARE TAKING BACK SCIENCE. #ImpeachTheQuack #GetOutTheVought #TakeBackScience

1. This is illegal as it makes enforcement of the Fair Housing Act of 1968 effectively impossible. 2. Congress appropriates more than $300M each year for enforcement because housing discrimination has one of the ugliest legacies in American history after slavery and Native American genocide.

an incontestable fact of the second trump administration is it is actively trying to sicken and kill as many americans as it can

A rare admission from the administration that policy choices have knock-off effects. In this case: immigration crackdowns raise your grocery bill. @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Today is #NationalComingOutDay. To all my #LGBTQIA family, and especially to those who have not yet come out, be strong, keep faith in yourself, and know you are not alone. coming-out-guide.sogiecenter.org

RIFed: LLS - Laboratory Leadership Service Y’know, another crucial hands-on and practical training program where fellows hone their laboratory expertise and skills. Yet another blow for when the next novel disease outbreak comes….. So fucking short sighted.

Ok… we are getting a theme here, right? RIFing communications offices across CDC. Because the people who know how to TALK to the public. Y’know, like this genius one 👇

RIFed: Several CDC staff currently working on an Ebola outbreak overseas. You know — the ones literally helping contain and prevent it from spreading. (Like, to the U.S.) Trust us: dying from Ebola is a MISERABLE way to die.

More RIFed themes…. Getting rid of leadership. Because when you remove the people with vision and priorities, you make room for 🧠🪱 and his idiot cronies to grab the wheel — and drive us all straight into chaos.

RIFed: NCHC, National Center for Health Statistics - comms, policy, leadership 🧠🪱 - Do you need me to define health statistics for you? All your concerns about chronic disease, indigenous health disparities, etc — we know what’s an issue AFTER we measure it.

RIFed: PHIC - Public Health Infrastructure Center Their job? Make public health infrastructure and workforce development actually work. They help state, tribal, local, and territorial health agencies. Y’know… everyone in the U.S. 🫠

Ok, update: Worklife Wellness Office and Occupational Health and Safety Office were RIFed. CDC was targeted by a shooter just over a month ago. Many of us are traumatized. So honestly… cutting the teams that help staff recover and stay safe? 🖕

RIFed: OSSAM - Office of Safety, Security, and Asset Management Let this sink in. They are getting rid of federal employees tasked w/ protecting sensitive public health data - that we would NOT want foreign entities to get access to. (Foreign entities - China, etc. But can we add Vought🤮💩 too?)

1/2 A reminder to anyone who was RIFed. 💯 you do NOT deserve this. Quick tips if you do get a RIF notice: ❌ Do not send a read receipt ❌ Do not respond right away - the union will probably provide language for response ✅ Forward notice to your personal email

FULL STORY HERE: Emails began flooding CDC inboxes late Friday night announcing dozens of layoffs. HR people brought back from furlough to oversee the RIFs. Disease detectives, entire Washington office, global health, injury prevention, MMWR staff among those hit. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...

and note: These cowards are doing this on a late Friday night of a three day weekend.

People. CDC is Literally being decimated right now. Our hearts are breaking for our colleagues at @altcdc.altgov.info. You can check out their page to see the growing list of departments affected. They don’t deserve this and America doesn’t deserve this.

Just to give Chump, his criminal regime, and worthless MAGAts a helping hand, I thought I’d save them the time and give them the location for the HQ of #Antifa.

Bob is a retired educator in Idaho and his wife spent decades working in health care. If Republicans refuse to work with Democrats to protect the health care tax credits, his premiums will increase from $51 to $2,250 a MONTH.

For years, San Franciscans considered him the rare big-hearted billionaire. But days before his Dreamforce conference begins, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff said he would support President Trump sending the National Guard to SF and that Trump is doing “a great job.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

#Salesforce CEO #MarcBenioff, on his private plane, told the #NYTimes #Trump should deploy the #NationalGuard in #SanFrancisco to combat crime — which is itself ILLEGAL. #Benioff is a selfish, whiny, #fascist who’s going to get people killed. www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/m... #BoycottSalesforce

Russell Vought, OMB Director, is using this shutdown to further the aims of Project 2025. He is slashing the federal workforce, and dismantling our agencies. This is not just a shutdown standoff — it's finishing the job of DOGE. Take action for federal workers here! zurl.co/up9de

Thank you to our brave NIHers like @ianlmorgan.bsky.social who have continuously shown true patriotism in standing up for the health and safety of the American people Sign your support for these brave employees here if you haven’t already 👉 www.standupforscience.net/bethesda-dec...

We help people before during and after disasters. We meet people on what is often the worse day of their life, and walk them through it. #FedStrong

Another body has been found in Houston’s bayou — the 16th this year, and the 6th in just weeks. Families deserve answers. When tragedy repeats itself this often, it’s not coincidence — it’s a crisis. City leaders must confront what’s happening.

Staff at #FEMA warned they’ll face termination if they don’t “tattle” on those signing open letter criticizing #KristiNoem & #Trump’s disaster response “efforts.”https://www.thedailybeast.com/fema-workers-ordered-to-out-ice-barbie-critics-or-be-fired/ #EM #greysky

he's going to come after you either way, so you might as well act with integrity

Six former U.S. Surgeons General slap WARNING on RFK Jr. - he’s a serious threat to our nation’s health. RFK Jr. isn’t leading HHS, he’s poisoning it. Join our fight to impeach RFK Jr. here 👉 www.standupforscience.net/quack-o-gram... www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202... #impeachthequack

It's been over 9 months since the Palisades and Eaton Fires tore through Los Angeles. We asked for federal support, but we haven’t heard a word from the White House. Not a single offer. Is this what leadership looks like? Abandoning the American people when they call for help?

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square. Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files. Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Trump is misappropriating life-saving funds without explanation, and saddling us with a weakened disaster response for 2026. FEMA employees spoke out, and now they are being retaliated against. Stand with the #FEMA36 as we point the finger at Trump and Noem for putting Americans in danger.

White House and DHS cancelling a $11b payment in disaster-relief funds meant to reimburse states that have already had to bear the brunt of recovery — from NC to TX. It becomes an IOU for next year, reducing FEMA's already diminished $26.5b by nearly half. We'll have only $15.5b until Sept. 2026.

House Republicans have been on vacation for 19 days. The government is shut down and health care costs are exploding. Cancel the vacation, and let’s get back to Washington. We have work to do.

#FEMA folks are organizing a rally. It’s a ways off but let’s save the date. Share this shamelessly & let everyone know whether it’s your fellow FEMA employees or allies in the DMV area. 1/2

It’s your friendly national pawn here. Thus will massively backfire on the admin, Fed workers are waking up collectively. They aren’t feeling helpless or hopeless, on the contrary they are angry. The lapse and rhetoric around the shutdown and RIFFs awoke that anger, this news is stoking it.

Thanks @calfire.bsky.social! Appreciate you!! #CALFIRE

@calfire.bsky.social reports forward progress on the #SchoolFire near town of #SanGregorio in #SanMateoCounty has been stopped. www.fire.ca.gov/incidents/20... #CALFIRE #CA #EM

BREAKING: Brush fire burning in the San Gregorio area of San Mateo County, Cal Fire says. nbcbay.com/2VR1EaL An estimated 4-5 acres have burned.

He should start with every one of his sycophants. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/07/u...

Instead of finding terrorists, drug smugglers, and human traffickers, Trump is diverting resources to silence people engaging in free speech. This is dangerous, undemocratic, and makes America less safe.

Whether you're a casual news reader or a breaking news reporter at the NYTimes, I implore you--please, please, please--do not believe or report DHS/ICE/CBP's side of events uncritically. End the state's monopoly on legitimate storytelling. They are not the objective arbiter of what really happened.

When a goat found itself in a baaaaad situation Friday night — stuck tight between two large rocks-- firefighters from CAL FIRE San Diego sprang into action. 1/2 #GoatRescue #CALFIRE

Thanks, Donald Trump! Burbank Airport has ZERO air traffic controllers from 4:15pm to 10pm today because of YOUR government shutdown.

I just signed legislation to further protect consumers and put money back in your pocket, including: ✅ Making it easier to get food delivery app refunds ✅ Banning car retailers from tacking on add-on services ✅ Strengthening our Financial Protection Department after Trump's gutting of the CFPB
