Actually white man or woman š¬
Letās please keep up the mass praying
Absolutely, and AOC too. But I do think for some reason itās much easier for a woman, something about being a man raises the not cringe bar
Man I miss the good olā days
YES THIS A MILLION TIMES
Yes, it was carefully hidden in the New England Journal of Medicine. Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine (www.nejm.org/doi/pdf/10.1... ) 1/2
Letās just hope itās accompanied by unbearable pain
Please dear lord answer our prayers
People obsessed with this country's "heritage" are violently opposed to ever actually addressing its real heritage, so all they're left with are consumerism and symbols chosen for their plausible deniability. Imagine claiming the Cracker Barrel logo as your birthright.
lol no Julie Gerberding
This morning 9 former CDC Directors, whose tenures date back to 1977, published this warning in the NYT: RFK Jr is a danger to public health. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
Yes terrible regime only getting worse.
I think within minutes itāll be a reality tv hellscape of unserious, unprofessional and definitely not smart thin skinned babies trying to kneecap each other but very very embarrassingly
Well, opposition leadersā¦
"Spotify paid 58bn naira ($36.5m) to rights-holders of Nigerian music in 2024. Because many artists and their labels have links with global firms, little of that stayed in Nigeria." | The Economist
Fred Hampton, leader of the Black Panther party in Chicago, would have been 77 today. Instead, he was murdered by the FBI and the Chicago police at age 21. RIP, Chairman Fred.
An actual human cockroach. Trump wishes, heās too soft. If anything the rumors probably hurt his feelings
Right now, your ability to get access to a COVID vaccine this fall is in jeopardy, whether or not you fit the new, restricted eligiblity criteria. Please send a letter to your member of Congress here. And spread the word. @defendpublichealth.bsky.social actionnetwork.org/letters/writ...
I mean, says a lot about a person how you treat others you are paying for services
Yeah good call
My interview with Al Jazeera on ongoing protests in Jakarta and other cities in Indonesia. It's about the police's excessive use of force. What the Indonesian government should do? How is about hundreds of peaceful protesters arrested over the last one week? www.youtube.com/watch?v=qL68...
Eh, W can go. No one else.
FORTUNATELY, for everyone we have a fun way to tell your House rep that you think Bobby Jr is a quack and has to goā¦ For $3 we will hand deliver (by a man in a duck costume) a rubber ducky with a message to āimpeach the quackā to your rep! QUACK-O-GRAMS! act.standupforscience.net/fundraising/...
Itāll expose all these craven and frankly stupid people, the ultimate culmination of our reality tv trash president
Honestly though, donāt you think Congress would massively push back on him? For one thing these recessions and BS on fed agencies would have to end
1. An 18-year-old boy was kidnapped by Immigration and Customs Enforcement outside LA just days before he was to begin his senior year in high school. He was walking his dog when they came for him. www.latimes.com/california/s...
Hahhaaa wait until the calls are coming from JD Vance. All of a sudden every world leader is washing their hair
The disappearance of U.S. aid in Nigeria's northeast has threatened a school that supports children who are victims of Boko Haram extremists.
They are definitely going to have to hide the grave.
āStarhealā lol
I know I shouldnāt say it but my god it will be so beautiful to see how fast heāll be turned on / impeached / tarred and feathered (getting too hopeful)
I like how as a student your year of study makes a difference
This is good: With Trump/RFK destroying CDC, JB Pritzker's officials are exploring the possibility of buying Covid vaccines from manufacturers and distributing them in-state themselves, source tells me. Dem govs must step up and fill the void. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1998...
Thank you for reporting and sharing. I remember the ābrain drainā under GWB, when many left in droves. Never could have imagined just how worse it could get. Weāve failed these public servants. š
Appalling
Malawi was excluded by Global Fund from 9 āfirst waveā lenacapavir PrEP countriesāGileadās appalling price secrecy + Trumpās shocking retreat from supporting PrEP means Malawi RIGHT NOW canāt buy or benefit from this ~100% effective HIV px tool despite national capacity, expertise, and leadership.
Thank you sir š«”
Oh my god. Unbearable.
Love you guys ā¤ļø
Yes, Noem and Boebert are right there
lol, faster to say Iām a rich white privileged man
Inshallah!
70 years ago, on this date, Emmett Till was kidnapped and brutally murdered by white men. His family, including his cousin who was with him at the time, is repeating the train ride he took from Chicago to Mississippi in 1955 to mark the anniversary
Absolutely. Proud of her!
ITāS BASIC SHIT! so infuriating.
Yet another example of how the world organises against night owls
"Honey, I don't have much time. I've been arrested by ICE and they are sending me to a detainment center. I love you and the kids, I will be OK, please call our attorney" -- John Shin, DACA resident, speaking to his wife last week. She hasn't heard from him since www.fox13now.com/news/local-n...
Exactly
And āAIDS funds,ā means money for medicines that keep people from dying of AIDS. Russell Voughtādevout Christianāseeks to withhold these drugs from millions of men, women and children.
Fucking Uganda.
Your work is great. Will follow wherever you land. Be kind to yourself.
This is so crucial: "discomfort is an important compass... it's an opportunity to learn." Solidarity ā¤ļø
Over and over and over and over. Makes me think of Ta Nehisi Coates article on Trump, Americaās First White President.
WTF
ENDLESS WAIT | On 7 August 2025, Primrose Modisane, 36, flickered back into legal existence outside a Home Affairs office in Germiston, just 20 kilometers from the spot where she had evaporated 17 years earlier. @joanvandyk.bsky.social @lhr-sa.bsky.social www.spotlightnsp.co.za/2025/08/22/s...
I remember gifting my brother a sub in the early ā90ās! I think Iāll go ahead and resubscribe for him š (sadly Iām overseas)
Remarkable open letter from Bill Burns. "If intelligence analysts at the CIA saw our rivals engage in this kind of great-power suicide, we would break out the bourbon. Instead, the sound we hear is of champagne glasses clinking in the Kremlin and Zhongnanhai." theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...
like those studies that say praying worksā¦maybe we just need to do this in an organized way
Facebook NOW
Novo Nordiskās move to cut the price of Ozempic to $499 for the uninsured is a modest step forward, but letās not forget. Ozempic costs just $59 in Germany while it costs less than $5 to make. The U.S. must no longer pay the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs.
WTF. Why is she advertising this?!
I think weāve lost understanding that itās not just about elections, itās an ongoing, consistent project of community building
Haha yeah itās the completely oblivious guys we love
All Protocol Observed Welcome to Issue 209 of The Continent The war in Sudan is more than numbers and labels ā itās a war about everything. Five Sudanese writers share stories from the ground, revealing its real contours and what itās truly about. Get your copy here: bit.ly/TC_209
NEW šØ The violence is the point. Elected Dems must call for widespread resignations (RFK, Bhattacharya, Prasad) in response to the CDC shooting. Public health must demand this of them, and the public must demand that of us. With @publichealthguy1.bsky.social in STAT: www.statnews.com/2025/08/15/c...
YAY!
"How Do We Tell the Story of Gazaās Murdered Journalists? Steven W. Thrasher on Trying to Make Sense of a Slaughter" my latest in @literaryhub.bsky.social lithub.com/how-do-we-te...
SAME!!!!
The idea that politics is something "winnable" like the climax of an action movie and not an ongoing process of sustained work & maintenance is I think one of the more pervasive and socially destructive notions of our current age.
Much love to all CDC staff. I am so sorry you are going through this. You deserve so much better. So many of us appreciate all your work and will continue to stand up with you. ā¤ļø
THIS!!!
This kid decided he wasnāt going to get railroaded and inspired a national movement that was then cynically traded in on behalf of a few polling points and op-ed plaudits amsterdamnews.com/news/2025/03...
Thank you!!!
I am so sorry. This is my nightmare. Solidarity and well done on raising a strong critical thinker.
"...the question of whether Columbia gave up 'too much,' whether Harvard should 'settle,' or what UCLA should offer up to appease the Trump administration are absolute and sorry distractions by commentators too afraid to speak the truth aloud." www.thenation.com/article/acti...
NEW: In June, ProPublica reported that the FDA has given more than 20 foreign factories a special pass to send drugs to the U.S. even though they were made at plants the agency had banned. Today, weāre publishing a list of those exempted drugs.
āGang of youthsā
Thanks for sharing
The administration's problem with the Brazilian and South African records on human rights, you see, is that those countries speak up for the protection of the wrong people's rights.
Lmao
#NIH director Jay Bhattacharya says the #BARDA mRNA contracts were terminated because the platform isn't viable because people don't trust it. Experts question some of the claims Bhattacharya made. www.statnews.com/2025/08/11/m...
Omg, I would have been secretly in love with you nerds š
Ummm okay
Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all: āIf this madness doesnāt end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its peopleās voices silenced, their faces erased ā and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.ā Israel just killed him.
šØBREAKING: ISRAEL ASSASSINATES AL JAZEERA CORRESPONDENT ANAS AL-SHARIF Israel also killed Al Jazeera correspondent Mohammed Quraqa and wounded Al-Kawthar correspondent Mohammed Subh in a strike on Al Jazeeraās tent at the Al-Shifa Medical Complex.
Seriously just shut it all down why are we even trying to play along
Amen.
BREAKING: One of the most important and prominent reporters on the ground in Gaza has been Anas Al Sharif. He - and several other Al Jazeera journalists - have just been assassinated by Israelis forces whilst in their press tent in central Gaza. Speechless.
Why is there a new presidential library for teddy Rosevelt? Confused
I admire Mo Salah's restraint. "Farewell". Really? Suleiman al-Obeid was killed by the IDF as he was queuing for food in Gaza. Say it, you cowards.
Incredible. What a gift. ā¤ļø
How wonderful. Will never forget diving with them in Mozambique. The most majestic creatures. Gives me chills!
Appalling. This should effectively end international conferences in the US.
Man these books are the best
The sugar. The lack of sugar is the reason š
Grateful for your voice
Yes itās good!! Yes itās cringe!! My kids were very little and loved it, and still do. We need more cringe rhetoric, imo- ie, immigrants we get the job done š
"It's time for Congress to restore its full protections by passing the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act," says Rep. Terri Sewell as the Voting Rights Act turns 60.
Jay Bhattacharya says that Program Officers made up banned words lists at NIH. This is a real email I got at NIH. (Granted, before Jay started.) But nothing has changed since he joined. I refused to censor the summary, so it remains unposted. And I have tried since Jay arrived.
Itās genuinely insane.
