Large peaceful protest from over the weekend. What doesnt get views on the news is what's actually happening in the majority of places. Peaceful protests that the local police are more than happy to keep safe while occuring.
This is what Mayor Karen Bass is calling for to continue.
A line graph of estimated AIDS-related deaths from 2025 through 2040 in 55 PEPFAR-supported countries. The Y axis is estimated number of deaths and ranges from 200,000 to 2 million. The X axis is years and ranges from 2010 to 2040. There is a black line labeled “historical trend” from 2010 to 2025 showing a decrease in deaths from 1.2 million to ~420,000. Then in 2025 the black line splits into three scenarios: 1) a dashed green line showing deaths if USAID were to increase, 2) a dashed blue line showing deaths if USAID remained at 2024 levels, and 3) a dashed red line showing deaths if USAID stopped and was not replaced. In scenario 1 (funding increased) deaths continue to decrease from ~420,000 to 200,000. In scenario 2 (funding stays the same) deaths stay the same at 420,000. In scenario 3 (funding cut and not replaced) deaths increase from ~420,000 to 1.7 million.
A Lancet preprint estimates that if US funding is cut and not replaced, from 2025-2040 there will be 15.2 mil add'l AIDS deaths, 2.2 mil add'l TB deaths, 7.9 mil add'l child deaths from other causes, and 40-55 mil add'l unplanned pregnancies.

NEWS: The USAID official put on leave for disseminating two memos about Rubio's failure to push through life-saving foreign aid was in the process of writing a THIRD memo when fired. We obtained it. It's far more alarming than the first two.

Investigations are ongoing, and no one - not Donald Trump or anyone else - should be drawing conclusions until all the facts have been released.
But here is what we do know. (1/7)
