History eventually finds the truth. Immerwahr will end up on its wrong side.

They decapitated NIAID yesterday. Our best-in-world scientific establishment is in shambles.

Jeanne Marrazzo and Cliff Lane -- please know that there's a huge community that feels forever in your debt.

Trump’s Foreign Aid Freeze Leaves Millions Without HIV Treatment (Gift Article) President Trump’s pause on aid, and the gutting of the primary aid agency, could jeopardize the health of more than 20 million people worldwide, including 500,000 children, experts say.

Elon Musk’s holocaust.

US issues new waiver for humanitarian aid amid freeze U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued a waiver on Tuesday for life-saving humanitarian assistance during a 90-day pause in foreign aid while Washington undertakes a review, according to a State Department memo seen by Reuters.

Amazing news. I’ve rarely felt panic like I did with PEPFAR’s shutdown. The meds for millions can continue for now.

Trump Administration Halts H.I.V. Drug Distribution in Poor Countries (Gift Article) PEPFAR’s computer systems also are being taken offline, a sign that the program may not return, as Republican critics had hoped.

I never dreamed it would get this bad, this fast. Trump has started the clock on murdering 26 million people currently living with HIV.

Exposed Document Links HIV Leaders to ‘Betrayal of People with HIV’ - My Fabulous Disease Several HIV community leaders signed a legal document in support of pharma - and in opposition to plaintiffs representing people living with HIV.

This is all very sad. AIDS Inc. kneels to Gilead.

Really sad.

Ah yes, I remember his spiritual coaching phase, and just kept muttering "oy" to myself.

This man knows his 🏳️‍🌈 history. Good 🧵

Donald Trump ‘to kick transgender troops out of US military’ An executive order could be signed as early as Donald Trump’s first day back in the White House, which would force 15,000 people out of their posts

We can only hope/pray that this gets blocked in the courts.

Slow. Clap.

🤮

it's clear now that republican trolls are squatting here. i know it's tempting to engage, but i cannot stress enough that blocking is the only way to preserve this community. block and move on. block and move on. block and move on.

Michael Blake, an Ex-Obama Aide, Enters the New York City Mayor’s Race Michael Blake, a former state assemblyman and a veteran of the Obama administration, joins a crowded field of candidates running against Mayor Eric Adams.

The announcement certainly makes my choice easy of who to root for. Go, Mike!

According to the NYT my old friend Michael Blake @blakefornyc.bsky.social is joining the crowded field running against Mayor Eric Adams. We were resident fellows at Harvard's Institute of Politics in the fall of 2016. Here we are during a fellows' reunion in 2017 outside the Iowa State Capitol.

Loved the Wild Robot. Just saw Flow this weekend, easily the most beautiful, animated film I’ve ever seen.

Correction: a bad week OF normalizing crazy

Sign of the times, no more bluebird on the biorxiv engagement tab..

Somerville rightly slams an anti-trans LGB group.

Tweet from Pat Soon-Shiong, the owner of the LA Times.

What a sycophant and know-nothing. I fear for and am depressed for colleagues at the @latimes.com. #PatSoon-Shiong is a disgrace and has embarassed himself with this tweet.

Yeah, @michaelmina.bsky.social’s quotes surprised me too, and not in a good way. After Deborah Birx’s comments on Face the Nation last weekend, it’s been a rough week for normalizing crazy.

I can’t tell you how different it is on X now after so many people have left. I have always followed mostly right-wing accounts because I cover them, and they are running out of people to pick fights with. So they’re just mostly fighting with each other.

Post you from a different era. Me during my junior year abroad, London School of Economics, 1981/82.

Dr. Deborah Birx says she is "excited" for data-driven discussions in RFK Jr.'s confirmation hearings Dr. Deborah Birx​, former White House Coronavirus response coordinator, said Sunday she is "excited" for the data on key health issues that will surface in Senate confirmation hearings for Robert F. K...

Jesus, Deb.

Deborah Birx, obviously lobbying for a job in the Trump administration, calls RFK, Jr. a "very smart man."

I’m so proud of AIDS activists. We called you out decades ago, long before everyone else figured it out, as one of the dumbest guys that somehow got a doctorate.

Trump's former CDC director makes bombshell COVID claim Robert Redfield has been a proponent of the 'lab leak' theory which posits the disease came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China. Now Redfield says that the disease may have origins in Americ...

Be careful, Bob. You’re going to lose your core supporters, lab leakers like Nate Silver, Zeynep, and millions of MAGA cultists. They are deeply wedded to blaming a Chinese lab.

I remember loving it. Very powerful TV.

The thing about Twitter versus Bluesky is that the right needs liberals on Twitter to make it feel worthwhile, whereas the left doesn’t need conservatives on Bluesky to make it feel worthwhile.
