Elon Musk reportedly spent $40 million dollars on #Superbowl ads calling #USAID wasteful. Here are just a few ways we would’ve spent $40M: 🏈Purchased life-saving HIV treatment from American pharmaceutical companies to keep 1,060,000 million people alive for one year 🏈Bought enough emergency food aid products made in Rhode Island and Georgia to treat 800,000 severely malnourished children 🏈Slowed the flow of migrants to our borders by providing job training to 50,000 people in Central America 🏈Protected 30,000,000 football fields of tropical forest in Africa, preventing China and Russia from exploiting timber and critical minerals that fuel our world 🏈Saved the lives of 25 million children suffering from severe malaria. We think this one has value on its own but maybe Musk would disagree This Super Bowl Sunday, tell Congress to #saveforeignaid and #standwithUSAID Save Foreign Aid

Everyone concerned about data loss right now should learn about the End of Term Web Archive, which I believe has been working on preserving federal websites for the past 8 months. The dataset you fear has been lost may well be here

Just an incredible project. Thank you to everyone involved

This is a big deal, y'all. Federal health websites are being stripped of content or removed in their entirety. Stick with this thread for a look at what's disappeared so far! 1/x

The problems are not only with coercion (though that's real) but with lack of economic resources to pay for phones, and lack of access to education/digital literacy for girls. See our studies here: gh.bmj.com/content/8/5/...

For many people, esp. women, in low- and middle-income countries, sharing a phone is the only option, and this creates all kinds of challenges in terms of medical and personal privacy. Not nec. healthier...
