Trump officials are trying to sneak around federal judges’ orders.

They could be held in civil contempt of court, which can include jail time and can’t be undone with a presidential pardon, according to @sbagen.bsky.social .

In 2025... what a dark new world we're in. 😔
So.

It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year.

I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

just blurted out in class "yes, you have to cite where you got your info. in a world in which lying loudly is the only thing that seems to get rewarded, citing your sources is an act of resistance" and folks, I really believe that.

On Thursday the 2024 issue of @theneweuropean.bsky.social comes out and they have given me the platform to explain why Gisèle Pelicot is my hero and how she radically changed the conversation about shame and sexual assault
It is my proudest writing.

“We share the same fight.”

Gisèle Pelicot pays tribute to other victims of sexual abuse after her husband & 50 other men were jailed for her rape.

Impossible to find the words to adequately describe this lady’s courage.

Unquestionably, irrefutably 2024’s Person of the Year.

Merci Madame.

9months after stopping my #Herceptin & #Perjeta infusions (147 - 9yrs!) I got my #PET-SCAN & #ctDNA results back: ALL IS GOOD! 🥳

After being told, at age 35, that I had 32% chance of celebrating my 40th bday, Tuesday I will be celebrating my 50th!

Take that #TNBC #HER2+ #breastcancer #fuckcancer!

Good morning, Blue Sky.

Being resilient is easier when you're surrounded by the right people.

Build communities that make you smarter and tougher for the battles ahead.

Never give up hope. Never stop fighting for what is right. And just.

Whatever comes our way, we will face it together.
