The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

Asexual people are not a disease. We are not a malady. We are not deficient. We are part of the human sexuality spectrum. Everyone is different, and asexuality is a natural variance to it. People who claim they want to "cure" us are hateful mossbacks, full stop.

I was so excited to speak at @partnersinhealth.bsky.social Engage’s U Chicago chapter today, and the meeting went so well!!
I taught a brief history of TB (focusing on its romanticized, racialized, and gendered nature in the 1800s), while the rest of our group made Valentine’s Day cards!

This is 67 cases--a tiny fraction of TB's global burden, which exceeds 10,000,000 active cases per year.
But the longer we allow a curable illness to infect and kill millions, the more TB we'll see in the U.S. Tuberculosis is an airborne disease, and TB anywhere is a threat to humans everywhere.

Danaher promised to release an audit of the cost of production of their GeneXpert tests. Over a year later, they still haven't made the audit public.
Just so they don't forget, we've added a new feature to tbfighters.org. No need to thank us, Danaher!

Got to join my wife Zooey Zephyr for her swearing in today on day 1 of the Montana legislature.
I was so happy to be at her side, and I know how much she cares about the work ahead.
I’ll be there at her side always, for her, for our community, and for all the people who depend on us.

Just a reminder that your local library has more than books! Many also have dvds, cds, video games, game systems, internet hot spots, streaming services, ebooks, audio books, park passes, museum passes, and so much more! Maybe it's time for a visit! ❤️📚

Now is the perfect time to talk about gun safety with friends and family.
Before your holiday gatherings, ask about the presence of guns in homes your children visit and if those guns are securely stored—unloaded, locked, and stored separately from ammunition. Learn more: https://etwn.us/3Iv8iwq
