Every Friday, @firedbutfighting.bsky.social shares the story of a real federal employee that was fired through the Trump administration's reckless cuts. The one for this week just dropped and it got us in the feels. 22 YEARS OF WORK. #firedbutfighting #RIF
1/7 🧵 This week’s Fed Worker Friday started her training as a lab scientist in high school. She continued this training in college. During college she spent a summer in Kenya through NIH’s Fogarty International Research Training Program. She did water quality testing & learned about public health.

Most people don’t pay attention to who runs public health agencies until a crisis hits. By then, damage may already be done. Our latest article explores what happens when political appointees take over institutions built on scientific credibility. open.substack.com/pub/national...

Caroline Deberry, the new acting deputy director for public affairs, acting director of communications, acting chief of staff, AND senior advisor at the CDC, is a CHRISTIAN POLITICAL ROMANCE AUTHOR, a term I learned against my will from @firedbutfighting 🫣😭

Every PhD student and postdoc who worked their butts off to learn hard things about science, and then contribute to human knowledge— especially those fired by Andrew Nixon’s HHS— should laugh at him.

This is right.

He’s a grossly unqualified person in charge of public health.

CDC Library staff and the larger Office of Science Quality and Library Services have yet to be re-hired at the CDC!!! Please contact your elected reps to advocate for the reinstatement of the CDC Library. Every little bit helps!

Heartbroken & devastated at Trump administration’s directive to end specialized support for LGBTQ+ youth callers to 988 hotline. This attack will DIRECTLY HARM American children. Youth using hotline are at their lowest point; specialized support is LIFE SAVING.

We stand with the LGBTQ+ community.

@firedbutfighting.bsky.social posted some useful info on Mr. Andrew Nixon.

He’s 27, and his main experience is being the press person for Trump’s inauguration.

Conservative hacks like this fail upwards into other rightwing money positions.

It is not RFK Jr's voice that scares us most for his upcoming podcast. The lies, mis- and disinformation, & junk that he will say scares us more.
The taxpayer funded podcast will be “The Secretary Kennedy Podcast”.
We really hope this podcast gets canceled before it is able to kick off.

2026 is a big election year - so much is at stake. This is why we created a new series exploring why a strong public health infrastructure is essential to a healthy democracy.
