9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
Yup
Absolutely
I’m going to keep saying it. RFK must resign or be fired. People will not only be sicker because of him; they will die.
Of course!
This is the way!
So I’m making resolutions- 1) be more social 2) sing and play more music 3) strength training. 4) continue to laugh a lot.
September 1 is like New Years to me. I grew up with teacher parents, spouse is a teacher- as far as I’m concerned the year begins in September and ends in June.

You’re raising a future filmmaker there aren’t you?
I just found a nice hardbound copy of James at one of those little free library (take a book leave a book) things in the neighborhood! I was so excited I leapt about!
Nice. Want.
My daughter has a great mostly WFH situation as does her wife. They have plenty of money, a house, the cutest toddler ever etc. yesterday she said “my life is perfect, I assume something horrible will happen soon”. Yup. That’s my kid all right.
Good morning people of the pleasant blue sky. My glorious family and I will go and watch some ocean beasties today. Captain, there be whales here.
@katshew.bsky.social his bumped into you on threads- I rarely go there because it’s really nice over here!
I fell in love with him in Secaucus 7. It’s a very long term celebrity crush. He’s incredible.
I love Strathairn so much
as an old it's unpleasant how perfectly American media apes the Soviet Pravda they once made fun of, right down to running dubious photos 'proving' Yuri Andropov is in excellent health and going golfing, Actually
It’s nice to have you guys to banter with because there are sleeping people that we don’t want to wake just yet- everywhere!
I’m so delighted with what a good mom my daughter has turned out to be. She and her wife have got this handling a two year old thing down! Daughter is a scientist who loves research so, of course, she knows the best evidence based parenting practices- but she’s flexible and knows how to enjoy it all
Ha. Led me to this... www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYJ8...
If Biden outlives Trump I will consider the balance of the universe at least slightly restored.
Hah! There is a resemblance!
Oh my! That’s… potentially highly amusing. I did not know that. Thoughts and prayers (that we never see him again).
Yeah- both mine were early talkers! The toddler stage is so funny. I miss those little ones but I’m very fond of the lovely women they turned into!
Same to you, lovely person!
Why? What’s going on? I can’t turn on the news there’s a toddler asleep in the house…shhhhhh
Same. He’s the one I fear the most. He is capable of killing a lot of gullible people. And we’ll all get caught in his current of stupidity flowing from DC.
We were taught to fear communism & socialism but Christian Nationalism wasn’t even on the radar. Genius.
One of the best of the era and of all time!
Well. Five hours isn’t nearly enough sleep especially since we’ll be trying to keep up with a two year old. Listening to her pleas to stay awake last night was hilarious. She’s quite creative. I love when they’re early talkers and you get hints of how they see the world. She’s so funny and bright.
Oh gee, thanks for that thought that will haunt my nightmares forever.
Ask her parents what exactly?
I find a lot of people are facing their last few years on the planet. It’s brought up a lot of feeling for me as I am one of them. Who wants to meet and really talk about that stuff?
I think I’d like to meet a group of women in my time of life that I could have real conversations with- about big stuff. Life, death, what the fuck does any of it mean, etc. our upcoming deaths and how we feel about it - how to live these last few years and not be terrified…how to make this happen?
It was kind of amusing from over here. She was just so blatant about her digustingosity (a word I just made up). This makes them that much easier to toy with. It’s been swell, have a good night
Daughter, daughter in law, and granddaughter have arrived.lots of terrific women in our house tonight. I love them so much!
That’s exactly what I witnessed.
Hah! That’s very funny! Well done.
You’re right, I’m pretty trashy. My husband likes me that way.
@grazinghorse.bsky.social thanks for the follow- where are you from in Jersey? I grew up in Livingston.
Oh, right!
Oooooohhhhhh . I see.
I know nothing about football.
Yeah. Huh. Well I’ve oft maintained that we’ve never stopped fighting that particular war…
I have no idea who Mahome is…
Yeah. She’s terrific. I mean when she broke big I was mainly surrounded by small children and listening to a lot of Rafffi during that time period but I’m aware.
This is actually intensely intriguing when you think about it. Could this be the start of something big?
And MA.
Damn, I love the northeast.
Good.
Hmmmmm. Nah, I don’t want to appear even more ridiculous than I already am.
I guess! Can I get Bruce Springsteen to love me if I post a lot?
IIRC Fiona Apple had quite few- I believe people call them-*hits* and won a Grammy or two. Did she like steal a parking space from you or something? Also, this is kind of fun- it’s generally so *nice* in these parts that it gets dull. Thanks for the blatant ridiculousness. Entertaining!
Are you Taylor Swift’s mother or something?
Now see, this particularly is something I don’t get. Are you saying that Swift is a boomer? Damn, I would like to meet her plastic surgeon- but it’s likely too late for me since I’m 74. BTW, you’re not well.
Wait that football player that swift is marrying is a Trumpie? Seriously?
What she said.
I’m a boomer and wtf are you talking about?
The same people who villainize Dr. Anthony Fauci, an actual doctor with a speciality in immunology and research in virology, are praising RFK Jr who has never seen the inside of a lab.
@governor.ca.gov The ACTUAL great REPLACEMENT has begun! Trump has: ❌Fired a general a BLACK general after 40 years of service ❌ Removed BLACK president Obama's portrait from where other presidents' are kept a stairwell ❌ Revoked BLACK ex VP Harris secret service protection. Does America care?
Love her stuff. She’s terrific.
there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
Yeah. I’ve heard that as well.
Oy.
And a waste of an amazing cast!
On the same day Trump cancelled the Secret Service protection for the only Black woman VP in our nation’s history.
RFK jr is going to try and ban all vaccines for children and childbearing women. He will say vaccines cause autism and try and ban women from getting them. He is a danger to the entire world. His only platform is eugenics.
he's incredibly stupid?
Indeed. They could, say, explore various strange new worlds, seek out new life, and boldly go...somewhere.
One can only hope...
Right??? Isn't this supposed to be some sort of star trek they're all on? Seriously, more exploration with fascinating aliens and less silly stuff. I like some silly stuff, but it's getting to be a bit much.
I want going to...you know...strange new worlds.
Yeah. That was pretty awful. I loved Seasons 1&2- I'm even a huge fan of the musical episode, but this was cringey as heck. Ethan Peck is a very funny actor, though.
I just gave the dog a bath. This is getting really difficult in my old age (and his!). Kids and grandkid descending tonight so I wanted him all clean. Next time I get a Mexican Hairless.
Congratulations and thank you for your service.
Wait. Starheal?? That made my whole morning.
You met Ethan Peck? Is he as dreamy in person?
I should specify that I’m only talking about tonight’s episode. Most of the time I love it. #SNW
I think Strange New Worlds might finally be starting to lose me. I ranted a bit about canon to the spouse who whispered “it’s all made up”. No it’s not! These are the Historical Documents!!!! Oh well (it’s not even very funny and it tries so hard). #SNW
I absolutely love the FEARLESS Dr. Peter Hotez!!!!!
Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation” That’s NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.
Oh look, Trump fired another Black official without reason, warning or cause: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/b...
Share this tweet if you are down for a national walkout.
General strike?
Bruce The Cat at rest.
yup
Just because you can say ‘mitochondrial’ doesn’t mean you understand what it means. Same for ‘inflammation’. Maybe also ‘kids’.
Resign or impeach him.
This is Thanos. He has figured out how to rest and babysit at the same time. Very impressive, very Montessori. 13/10 (TT: thanosthesaint)
Hey, hey! Ho, ho! The national guard has got to go! Hey hey! Ho ho! These federal troops have got to go! Let’s get loud DC! #FreeDC
In another instalment of: “Didn’t Age Well” This video was deleted from Twitter. So you know what to do. 😏
And power, unto itself most commendable, Hath not a tomb so evident as a chair To extol what it hath done. One fire drives out one fire; one nail, one nail; Rights by rights falter, strengths by strengths do fail.
Coriolanus is right that the tribunes are scheming power-hungry politicians undermining civic virtue. The tribunes are right that Coriolanus is a would-be despot who has utter contempt for the people. Neither has admirable motives even as they speak the truth about the other.
Coriolanus is Bill at his most depressingly politically astute: everyone in it's awful one way or another, there's no hero, but all their denunciations and accusations back and forth have the sting of truth. They aren't simply liars, they all make accurate and thus persuasive attacks on each other.
I'm a constituent- so worried about my family. RFKjr needs to be impeached. We can't afford to wait.
Impeach RFK. Now.
“I’m going to let him go wild on health. I’m going to let him go wild on the food. I’m going to let him go wild on the medicines” - Donald Trump on RFK Jr, October 2024. Your newly minted dictator wants you dead, America.
RKF Jr. is a dangerous man who is determined to abuse his authority to act on truly terrifying conspiracy theories and disinformation—leaving us unprepared for the next deadly pandemic and snuffing out potential cures while he’s at it. My full statement.
