This World AIDS Day, we remember the hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers lost to HIV and AIDS, and those living with HIV today. We must remind ourselves and each other that the fight isn’t over until the epidemic is over for everyone.

Not acknowledging World AIDS Day and engaging in COVID revisionism are straight from the eugenics playbook. One of the most effective ways of making people invisible is by erasing their history.

schmitt’s derisive mention of “color revolution” is a good clue as to the nature of his information environment
Sen. Eric Schmitt: "This is the language of a color revolution where you're calling on military men and women to disobey orders."

“The [Israeli] rationale [was] to discredit Hamas and UN at that time … and to allow [Israel’s] clients, the looters, to either redistribute aid to expand their own support... or to make money... in order to get cash and so not depend exclusively on Israeli financial support”
A French historian who spent more than a month in Gaza at the turn of the year says he saw “utterly convincing” evidence that Israel supported looters who attacked aid convoys during the conflict.

Immigration is always about destroying Native sovereignty

It’s about rejecting the need for public transparency around who belongs on taken land by enslaved hands

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.

There is so much violence in their rhetoric, generally; the explicit non-consensual ‘gAI is here, you need to use it whether you want to or not,’ and then this kind of abusers’ logic ‘you have to use our tech but we aren’t responsible for anything that our tech does to you’

Patient came in with sore throat. While waiting for rapid Strep test result we glanced back at the Covid-19 RAT result: positive. Reminder that masking in health care makes sense, if you don’t want everyone in your waiting room to go home sick, your staff to get sick, and physicians to get sick.

"The controversial US and Israeli backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has ended its operations in the strip saying it has succeeded in its mission"

Thousands murdered while waiting for food. People starving to death. Famine declared. For the US and Israel this was success.

3 infant #pertussis deaths this year in Kentucky. "Of the three infant deaths reported over the past 12 months, all three were not vaccinated, nor were their mothers."

We first tested maternal vaccination for whooping cough over 80 years ago. It's safe & effective & might have saved these babies.

They're demanding, among other things, sewage removal and heat and electricity restroration.

Emmanuel, a 15-year-old with intellectual disabilities, wandered away from his mom’s fruit stand in October.

She reported him missing to Houston police. But instead of reuniting them, the city turned him over to ICE.

“They’re failing all of us,” his mom said.
