One of our clients inside The Ripple Effect Institute runs Crazy Love Africa, which has provided HIV meds to women and children in Africa through funding from USAID, along with other support-- until DOGE destroyed USAID.

Here is an example of what they're up against right now. Please read.

Dear RFK: By the time a child is 6 years old, they’ll have received about 25–30 shots, depending on whether combo vaccines are used and if they’re fully up to date. By the time they’re 18 years old, the lifetime total can reach around 50 doses across the 15 recommended vaccine types.

Trump on moving Space Force base from Colorado: "The problem I have with Colorado -- they do mail in voting. They went to all mail in voting, so they have automatically crooked elections. And we can't have that."

Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch.

Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.

I hope we'll see such orders signed by every official with the power to sign them. This isn't radical or even liberal; it's 101, it's like saying the king can't house his soldiers in people's homes.

There is not one marginalized, racialized, or oppressed group whose oppression or destruction is an acceptable cost for saving "democracy." Not one.

If saving democracy requires leaving marginalized people behind, that's not a democracy worth saving.

Either we all get saved or none of us do.

Do you know which state has the largest number of Black residents?

TEXAS (nearly 4 million)

Trump’s demand that TX redistrict & the Republican legislature’s acquiescence is an attack on Black representation. Stand with Texas Dems.

The government is putting more and more pressure on journalists reporting on ICE.

We all must speak out against these chilling tactics.
ICE wants to work in secret. We shouldn’t let it
Journalism about ICE is increasingly under attack by officials who prefer government propaganda

MAM COMMUNITY STATEMENT

The state of this government is an absolute, sickening betrayal of humanity. Community is needed now more than ever.

This is a call to action—for our community to gather, resist, share our skills and knowledge, and start planning for the growing need for survival resources.

Nobody said it would be easy, but Republicans found a way to cut taxes for the rich while taking away your healthcare. A story of true heroism.

AOC: "On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam ... the cap on that is $25,000 while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the US ... while kicking them off the ACA."

3 dead so far at Krome ICE detention center in Florida. Max capacity was 500, they have over 4,000 and not enough water and food. Reports say they get 1 cup of water per day.

These are already death camps.

One of my current clients runs a nonprofit in Uganda that works with women with HIV.

The DOGE cuts have eliminated funding for HIV meds to the women she serves there. No one knows how long Uganda has before it runs out of HIV medS entirely.

Longtime friends & sisters will die.
