In the U.S., taxpayer money is being wasted on conspiracy theories, absurd arrests of immigrants and homeless people, and even on concentration camps.
I donβt understand why Republicans keep thinking these leaders are wise with our money.
Why, Mr. Fetterman? You took a path we did not elect you to take.

Replacing scientists and doctors with loyalists and grifters in the National healthcare sectors has one outcome: SUFFERING
Suffering for the marginalized, disabled
Suffering for children
Suffering for the elderly
Suffering for laborers

Too hot for TikTok, they muted this one immediately π Kind of surprising tho since Iβve said way worse without repercussions π€·π»ββοΈ Anyway, donβt mind me Iβm just trollinβ Elon.
This guy voted for RFK Jr. to lead HHS.
The hypocrisy would be comical if it wasnβt so tragic.

Amazing little thread over on the Bad Placeβit seems the numbers DOGE posted about supposed savings are, in some instances, comically wrong. (Haven't finished checking all these ourselves...)

In 3 days, the number of measles cases in a highly unvaccinated area of Texas has doubled. There are now 48 cases, all of whom are unvaccinated, and 13 of whom have been hospitalized so far, for a hospitalization rate of 27%. This is huge figure in epidemiology. This outbreak will keep spreading.
It should not be lost on anyone that the vaccine that prevents measles, MMR, is the one about which RFK Jr. has spread the most misinformation. The head of HHS should be out front, strongly recommending MMR vaccine in Texas right now. But RFKJ canβt without admitting heβs been lying.
Did you Know USAID buys from farmers through Food for Peace, a program of USAID, to feed hungry people around the world. Food for Peace not only provides a valuable market for family farms like mine, it allows us to show the spirit of generosity that defines being an American, and an American farmer
Call your Senator Rep Urge them to support USAID and Food For Peace. Good for Farmers, Good for America, Good for the world. This is a bipartisan ask, feeding hungry children and supporting farmers. Bob Dole supported it.

the same wall but now blank
how it started at USAID > how it's going
Why arenβt we looking into corporate welfare? In the United States, it costs taxpayers billions each year, with estimates ranging from $92 billion to $100 billion annually. Meanwhile, USAID costs only $40 billion. Hmmmβ¦ doesnβt add up.
Community health centers are now starting to shut down across the country because of Trumpβs executive orders.
These centers serve 1-in-5 rural patients in America.
i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isnβt just uncouth or βcontroversialβ but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country
We are deeply concerned about the current state of our country. As civil servants, we are doing everything in our power to resist, even if it costs us our jobs. We are proud to be Americans, but what is happening right now does not reflect the values we, as Americans, stand for!
Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?
Do you remember smog days? I doβthose times when we couldnβt play outside. I donβt want that for my kids.
Oh the shade!

Now is THIS the face of a person who'd support cutting funds of research for kids with cancer?
Yes.
Yes it is.
"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all."

Look bringing back polio sounds bad. But itβs a small price to pay to get rid of pronouns in email signatures and black women in star wars.
FUN FACT: Measles, polio, diphtheria, mumps, rubella and tetanus are six once-common illnesses that vaccines have contained for decades, saving many millions of lives.
This needs to be said, loud, and often.
