United States Completes WHO Withdrawal WASHINGTON —  January 22, 2026 — The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of State today announced the United States’ completion of its withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO) due to the organization's mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic that arose out of Wuhan, China, its failure to adopt urgently needed reforms, and its inability to demonstrate independence from the inappropriate political influence of WHO member states.

The United States has officially withdrawn from the World Health Organization.

This is a shameful move that puts both Americans and people all over the world at greater risk from disease outbreaks, which require international collaboration to contain.

I’LL BELIEVE IN ANYTHING AND YOU’LL BELIEVE IN ANYTHING

My dog is so cute. She loves nothing more (except playing ball) than to curl up on a soft blanket with me while I’m on the couch 🥰 such a great nap/reading buddy!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

Please stop saying ICE agents are “wearing masks”

They’re wearing face coverings. Gaitors.

The anti-mask rhetoric has caused untold harm to disabled people.

Mask bans have already been enacted in many places.

We must fight for our right to continue wearing medical masks & respirators.

AAAAAAAAAHHHH

L.A. Protests Prompt Calls for Police Restraint After Journalist Injuries

Amazing how hard it is to write: “Police shoot at journalists.”

Masks are important at protests for protecting everyone’s health! Also it’s not nefarious to hide your face from a fascist regime that’s also hiding theirs anyway while they commit crimes against humanity!

Not surprised that a police officer would say that, but am very disheartened that the news outlet chose to include that and highlight it. I commented on their post pushing back on that mindset. We’ll see if they respond. So infuriating.

Just saw a local newspaper cover a break in story, but, for some reason they asked the police department how to “protest safely” & the police said to avoid anyone wearing a mask bc they’re “covering their face for a reason”. I’m so disappointed in this rhetoric being pushed

it doesn’t have to be like this, but it will be if you cannot think beyond government as it once looked. we were lucky to be born into a unique time when public health grew like never before in history—so few humans knew less disease—but that unique time may be over if we do nothing else to stop it.

RFK Jr. boots all members of the CDC's vaccine advisory committee Health Secretary RFK Jr. has removed all 17 members of the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. He says replacing them with new members will help restore 'public trust' in vaccines.

Los Ángeles is only the first city, MAGA and Trump don’t have enough troops to keep up the pace. Mayors and governors need to back the American people over the Trump regime ICE forces.

No cops at Pride includes the cop in your head who tells you to police other queer people. Learn the difference between being uncomfortable and being harmed. Deal with your discomfort on your own time. Pride is for the community, not just you.

A New COVID Variant, NB.1.8.1, Is Starting to Spread in the U.S. What Are Its Symptoms? NB.1.8.1 recently caused surges in China and other parts of Asia. Will cases spike in the US this summer? Here's what we know about the new variant so far.

The media have been complicit with the government in covering up the threat of the ongoing Covid pandemic and the risks to the public.

If they’re recommending N95s, we should pay attention.

They don’t suggest masks lightly.

AAAAAAAAAHHH

One would think if community care meant anything to people we'd only permit cars with designs that minimise damage.

Alas, no need to wonder if anyone cares about community, simply look at mask usage. 😮‍💨🙄
