States Move to Limit Access to H.I.V. Treatment

this will be a public health disaster.

We could end the transmission of HIV this year. That has been true for a decade. That we have not done so is a public policy choice.

An Interview with Sahar Delijani Evergreen Review

β€œI was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven’t lived in blood and bone. That doesn’t mean I want my people bombed, killed, their homes in ruins.” - Sahar Delijani

They don't hate government, these guys hate government for the people. Vought has dedicated his life to working for the US government in DC to "drain the swamp" and "eliminate government" services for those in need.
Government for me, not for thee!

Will be a rude awakening when they learn about the standard US work week, lack of vacation, & high costs for housing, food, healthcare, childcare, and a home full of servants.

yes, we're tied down. We have an old book that we want to make an OA 2nd edition. Just put it on the internet & let people use it - we don't need the $. The publisher will not release the 1st ed to us & will not do an OA 2nd ed. If we go on our own, we cannot use the 1st ed content.

🚩🚩🚩Needing Ackman & RFK Jr funding & wanting to do it in Guinea-Bissau 🚩🚩🚩

If anything about the Stabell Benn & Aaby vaccine study were appropriate, the Danish government would have already funded it. I’m surprised these people are still employed.

seems nearly all PA journals are in the hybrid model for OA. I'm also learning that increasingly few of them do even basic open review (like sharing reviews & decision letters with all reviewers). We are decades away from actual open peer review.

Every time I see a report of ICE leaving Minnesota or Minneapolis I think "I wish" because uh, they're still here being assholes & terrorizing people, just not as much in some places but more so in other places best I can tell and of course people are still imprisoned in misery at Whipple & . . . 🧡

I still think the best way to think of the ending of US AID is as the single worst genocide committed by any one US presidential administration.

even given all the horrific things the US has done, it's not really that close. 750k dead already; expected 14 million.

The drunk uncle theory.

You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

More people in the US lost jobs bc of the moral panic around tasteless social media posts about Charlie Kirk’s murder than have been punished for appearing in the Epstein files or for participating in his sex trafficking operations. The latter’s been going on for >10 yrs!

Savannah teacher killed in crash by man fleeing from ICE According to the Chatham County Police Department, Monday morning’s fatal crash was the result of a chase between Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and a suspect.

ICE killed a teacher in Georgia today when they chose to chase a man who posed no danger and had no criminal history.

I'm sure this program does great things for these students. But why is our solution to structural inequalities in education always to create more programs & longer educational training for these students, instead of fixing the issues that leave them still at a disadvantage post-bachelor's degree?

PostBac, PreDoc, PostDoc. How many ways can the American university (re)package education? Are US degree programs so weak, we need to supplement before & after? Or so elitist, applicants need more assistance to get admitted? Or is this a new, cheap labor model for underfunded academic science?

Trump officials propose testing a citizenship question amid a push to alter the census The Trump administration proposes to include a question about U.S. citizenship status in this year's field test of the 2030 census, as Republicans push to alter the counts behind voting maps.

What happens if we all (or a large proportion of us) refuse to answer the citizenship question? Can citizen resistance to these and other types of checks, make life in the US safer for non-citizens?

DHS is shutting down because it refuses to obey the law. They are tear-gassing schools, killing American citizens, and disappearing legal immigrants. Democrats shouldn’t fund an out of control ICE.
