Hello everyone! We compiled a list of Trans Inclusive / LGBTQIA+ health resources. Normally we wouldn't ask for engagement, but sharing this around would be deeply appreciated. Remember: You're not alone. We'll endure.

Hi all; all our tutorial articles and such are on indefinite hiatus; due to a series of technical glitches we've lost all our previous and pending materials. We hope to resume soon but given the time required for each article, it can't be an immediate priority.

BREAKING: Bernie Sanders is introducing an amendment to cut ICE’s $75 billion funding increase, and to use those funds to restore the federal cuts to health care.

So, what's everyone's bets on what the current administration will do to cover up this latest Epstein file release?

A) US Stikes Iran
B) We "somehow" get imported cases of Nipah Virus
C) Insurrection Act is illegally used to invade Minnesota (more) and Oregon (more)
D) Something astoundingly dumb

Before anti-vaxxers we had HIV denialists. It is wild how history repeats itself. Reading this piece is like traveling back in time. So many similarities with what we are witnessing right now with the anti science anti vaccine brigade. History repeats itself, we keep choosing not to learn from it.
I wrote about one of the saddest evenings of my life: seeing Christine Maggiore, who opposed HIV medicines, speak in San Francisco. She was one of the HIV denialists who met President Mbeki at the International AIDS Conference in Durban in 2000; she died of AIDS

This week we're breaking down how herd immunity actually works, and why high vaccination coverage matters for protecting entire communities, including people who can’t be vaccinated.

Quick, clear, and a little spicy at times.

FedGov has declared itself exempt from the Constitution, all of it, basically. Let me walk you through this so you’ll understand all the ways this is a direct attack on every American.

I sent my friend
an article about how
the “US government has lost
more than 10,000 STEM PhDs
since Trump took office,”
and my friend
(who is one of those 10,000)
replied that: “lost”
is a funny way of spelling
“were fired or driven out.”

To quote many a social movement, "Silence is violence", and friends, they're trying to commit violence against you in ways that should have been left in the history books.
Infectious diseases do not magically disappear just because you stop tracking and reporting. This is dangerous.
When diseases spread in silence, outbreaks go undetected for much longer and containment is more difficult.
All of this means more avoidable deaths.

American Life Insurance Companies have a fantastic ability to do a psy-op on ICE by simply not allowing a policy for anyone who works with ICE/DHS due to "extreme risk". I'd certainly think carefully about my actions if I knew my loved ones would be on their own if I bit the big one.
