"The abrupt termination of critical USAID-funded clinical trials, with insufficient time to safeguard the welfare of people who are participating, is profoundly unethical and utterly inexcusable" www.statnews.com/2025/02/16/u... via @statnews.com

The abrupt end of USAID-funded clinical trials is profoundly unethical

USAID's stop-work order threatens to undo decades of progress in medical research ethics and cause harm to clinical trial participants.

Wouldn’t the easiest solution to Trump’s annexation threats be to make a huge ad buy on Fox & Facebook & absolutely bombard the US populace with misinformation like removing the border would mean our cold would escape & freeze Georgia or that we’d amass roving gangs to hunt & eat their house cats.

the CFPB that Musk wants to shut down has won $21 billion for Americans from predatory financial institutions and big banks quick, does anyone know if $21 billion is more than $711 million

@elonmusk:

CFPB has $711M? That money should be returned
to taxpayers.

‼️ The National Park Service has REMOVED mentions of transgender people being involved with Stonewall. Not only did the remove the world "Transgender" but changed "LGBTQ+" to "LGBQ+". The federal government is attempting to erase us and take away our history. This pride, we riot.

A national park service webpage about Stonewall.

"Before the 1960s, almost everything about living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual, or queer (LGBQ+) person was illegal. The Stonewall Uprising on June 28, 1969 is a milestone in
the quest for LGBQ+ civil rights and provided momentum for a movement."

It's ILLEGAL for special government employees to do government work that affects their own financial interests! Musk's companies got $3.3 BILLION in US government contracts in 2024, and now he's deciding who gets federal funding. House Judiciary Dems are calling on the DOJ to investigate NOW.

Make no mistake, "you do you" Covid policies helped pave the way for Trump's victory They emboldened him to be more aggressive and openly fascist this time around You can't throw away entire groups of people & not see very real consequences The Spanish Flu pandemic helped pave the way for Hitler

If you have resolved to try your best to be kinder in this new year, and are looking for something to do, for something small to do, for something tangible to do, consider wearing a mask, there is still more you can do there is still more you must do but a mask is a start.

If H5N1 bird flu becomes a pandemic there will be no doubt about where it started and why. No arguing over lab leaks or wet markets, bats or bioweapon. It will be made in America by capitalism, the dairy industry and the politicians they bribed to do nothing

I was tempted to politely push back on an obvious troll but then realized if everyone does that, it becomes the culture so… Keep the paint out of the waterways, everyone. You think you’re the only one tipping out 3oz of eggshell white at 3am and the wetlands can take it but you’re definitely not.

Some claim scientific studies show masks don’t work, or that surgical masks are as good as N95s. Just released paper shows this claim is false. Masks work, and N95 respirators give a much higher benefit than surgical masks.1/
