    MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) has been put on hold, for the first time in it’s 60 year history.

    “On January 23, 2025, the CDC failed to release a new weekly issue of MMWR for the first time in the publication’s over 60-year history. The failure was a direct result of the second Trump administration ordering an indefinite “pause” on public communications by all branches of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. “Preventing CDC from publishing scientific data via the MMWR represents a radical departure from protocol that will undermine the public’s trust in the Trump Administration,” Jennifer Nuzzo, who runs the Pandemic Center at Brown University, wrote.[25]”

    But yeah, it’s all cool. /s No IT’S NOT! I’m not sure how this can undermine public trust, if there wasn’t any to begin with. It only confirms that disaster will be arriving soon. And the Fed isn’t going to be much help. Work within your communities, mutual aid will be what keeps us afloat.

      The whole “the cruelty is the point” thing is so foreign to me. It isn’t difficult to cause hardship with clean intentions. To cause intentional pain broadly and blindly just doesn’t make sense to me. And I can “devils advocate” and try to empathize fairly well (hard to know if that’s true without acting like a creeper).

      Global dominance?

        Nope you have seen it in school unless you were home schooled or something. Kids call names and punch for no reason except they are hurt inside and they want to hurt others. We know this is the same because Trump told us over and over. He is sad and angry and will hurt people now that don’t have anything to do with him. You chose this together and I don’t know how you now ask what is this. It is what you chose together
