So as an ED/Trauma #nurse I'm thinking about all the free resources that we rely on to do our jobs and that may disappear or sunset into obsolescence with the attacks on federal agencies and employees.

I triaged and deconned a chemical burn patient a couple days ago using the ERG app on my phone. When the Burn ICU provider came down to the ED they thanked me for effectively stopping the burn. Thank you to the #federal #DOT employees who developed the #ERG and app!

Not only does this memo give serious Handmaids Tale vibes (prioritizing the pious and the fertile while the rest of us go without)….

But don’t snooze on the fact that they’ve made it so if you get funding from the Department of Transportation you can’t have a vaccine or mask mandate.

COVID isn’t over. H5N1 is spreading rapidly and has pandemic potential.

We’ve got RFK Jr poised to take over HHS and do untold amounts of damage to public health.

Yet they’re still coming for masks and vaccines.

Please wear a mask while you still can. Mask to protect your own health and to show solidarity with disabled and marginalized people who’ve been cast aside and treated as expendable for years.

Mask to Resist.

The mid-air collision at Reagan National Airport on Wednesday night has presented #SeanDuffy with a major crisis just hours after he was sworn in as secretary of transportation.

Meanwhile, the #FAA, which is part of the #DOT, is operating without a permanent administrator since Mike Whitaker stepped down earlier this month.
