The Trump-Supreme Court battle is not really the crisis. The crisis is here now. Trump is enacting an insidious coordinated attack on our institutions of democratic accountability, designed to crater democracy before next fall. 1/ A long 🧵to explain the plan & how we stop it.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

You know Kate Winslet in Contagion? Where she runs into a hot zone, risking her life, so Americans could be safer? She was an EIS officer. That’s who was just fired at CDC today. EIS officers. And many, many more public servants fighting every day for your health.

Despite CDC’s recent publication of a Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) and Health Agency Network (HAN) alert, the communications ban is still in place. No further guidance has been issued re the ban and no end-date specified. MMWRs on avian influenza and other publications remain on hold

"It takes years to build a science lab." New post from us. "The long timelines to build up a team... make science research work different than many parts of the private sector." Science is hard to build but easy to break. The uncertainty is right now breaking cancer research. 🧪

It takes years to build a science lab
Productive science requires a great team, and that team develops together. That's one reason chaotic interference is dangerous for science.

So what do we do? We have to slow things down while we educate the public and rouse public attention. - Senate and House Dems go to maximum obstruction. Deny all unanimous consent. - Sen and House Dems lead protests at illegally altered agencies. - We work like crazy to raise public awareness.

The #PEPFAR tracker is following the real time impact of each passing day of the funding suspensions spurred by the USAID funding freeze. Although there is a waiver to allow dispersion of ART, this is not happening because clinic workers have been laid off. People are dying. pepfarimpact.vercel.app

We are hearing from multiple CDC sources that DOGE is at the Roybal campus. If you’re on campus and see anything you’d like to share, please reach out. Stay safe.

This is what the rich want, when the market is volatile it gives them a chance to make huge profit. If you think wall street crashing is sticking it to trump you're missing that this is exactly what they wanted.

This isn't my first or even second time at the rodeo. I dealt with Ronald Reagan & George Bush trying to kill my community by ignoring the AIDS epidemic. It happened again when I lived in South Africa with Thabo Mbeki. And we won twice. So: courage. We will beat them too. Stay focused. Get to work.
