Inside CDC: Your Tax Dollars At Work

Why I made this account: I've been with CDC for going on a decade. I'm scared. I've tried to get information out through other channels and it falls flat. Let me be clear: This is not about efficiency. This is not about saving money. THIS IS A COUP. #cdc #publichealth #rfkjr #wearefucked

Fucking gross.

I've been too depressed to post... everything is terrible. #cdc #hhs #jfkjr #wearefucked

cluck schumer - you know, cuz he's a chicken

"Difference, for Kennedy, is not something to be accommodated, celebrated, or cultivated. It is a tragedy to be stamped out."

The closure of the CDC’s entire FOIA office is unacceptable and in fact, illegal. Americans shouldn't be left in the dark about how the CDC is operating. Transparency matters. So we're suing.

New: A 64-page HHS restructuring proposal outlines sweeping cuts to US public health. Here it is, in its entirety. open.substack.com/pub/insideme...

Scoop: Leaked PDF outlines major HHS restructuring proposal—authenticity not yet confirmed. “The stuff the American public has lost already...is impossible for most people to understand. The safety nets are being blown up right and left.” open.substack.com/pub/insideme...

These are not detainments—they are kidnappings. These are not deportations—they are human trafficking. These are not detention centers—they are concentration camps. Language matters. This is fascism.

For the people who have been showing up week after week to show support for the CDC and public health, thank you with all of my heart. For @warnock.senate.gov and @hankjohnson.house.gov, thanks for showing up today, but what's the plan for tomorrow? #impeachment #thisisacoup

The Trump regime is on the cusp of a showdown with the Supreme Court. Depending on what the Court does and how the regime responds, it could openly become a dictatorship two ways. Some thoughts... robertreich.substack.com/p/the-two-ti...

How do your tax dollars get back into your community? Health departments and non-profits get funding for public health programming like vaccine education and overdose prevention from CDC - all through grants.gov. Now DOGE controls that too. #thisisacoup img3.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Thank you Fired but Fighting for keeping the stories of CDC colleagues going! #cdc #hhs #rfkjr #thisisacoup

Don't believe anything you hear from Trump or his goons. They are all lying and killing people for profit and personal gain. This is not about efficiency. This is not about saving money. THIS IS A COUP. #cdc #publichealth #rfkjr #hhs #measles

Fuck this is embarrassing. No communication from RFK Jr, or any leadership, but I can read about the fate of CDC in an OpEd he wrote for the fucking NY Post... nypost.com/2025/04/10/o... #cdc #publichealth #rfkjr #coup #hhs

On four separate occasions, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Health and Human Services secretary, has suggested that the measles outbreak in Texas, which is now over 500 cases, is beginning to subside and grow more slowly. But a review of state data indicates there’s no decline yet in the pace of cases.

HHS Secretary RFK Jr. is a danger to the public’s health and should resign or be fired, says APHA. In just a few short weeks, his actions on vacccines, fluoride and other public health science have shown how wrong he is for the job. Read & share our statement: apha.org/news-and-med...

I made it through the RIF. Survivor's guilt is real. For the last week I've had to show up in person not knowing what happens next. Did you know that CDC leadership cannot definitively say the RIFs are over? #fascistcoup #cdc #tryingtokeepfoodonthetable #rfkjr #wearefucked

For weeks I've been wondering where the fuck our leadership is... Dr. Susan Monarez was named as Acting CDC Director by Trump on January 23rd. Came across this today: open.substack.com/pub/insideme... #cdc #rfkjr #wearefucked
