The Amazing Story About AIDS in Africa that Elon Musk’s Chainsaw Killed
Almost no one knows the story of how PEPFAR, the President’s Emergency Program for AIDS Relief, came into existence, and what it managed to accomplish before Elon Musk chainsawed it as waste.

What happened before Mayor Baraka’s arrest needs daylight.
Did masked ICE agents let him in just so they could arrest and perp walk him to send a message of fear. Because that’s what it looks like.
We’re sliding into fascism—and fast. And if we don’t stop it now, we may not get another chance.

Amid all the other news, it's easy to become inured to the basic facts here. Öztürk:
-Is not accused of committing any crime
-Is nonviolent
-Was in this country legally
-Merely engaged in speech that the administration objects to
-Has been locked up for six weeks
-Is not accused of committing any crime
-Is nonviolent
-Was in this country legally
-Merely engaged in speech that the administration objects to

Now from Öztürk’s ACLU lawyer Esha Bhandari:
“Rümeysa Öztürk’s case is unprecedented and shocking. She has been held behind bars for six weeks while her health deteriorates for writing an op-ed.”

When he drones on about how the US is "bring ripped off" by other nations or is "subsidizing" other nations, he means the US buys stuff from them. Much like I am being ripped off by and subsidizing Aldi and Lidl by grocery shopping.

Canada, Lewis Powell and China are all showing that standing up to Trump leads him to fold like a cheap chair--while praising him, "building bridges" and trying to be agreeable gets you nothing but humiliation and degradation. Europe has not learned this yet.
