Hearing from Community Partners International, which works from Myanmar to Bangladesh, that USAID cuts mean 14,000 people with HIV losing access to lifesaving meds and a total stop in all HIV and TB screening. So many people will die due to these chaotic, sudden, horrifically implemented cuts.

Measles high infection rate is the reason we have not yet been able to eradicate it. That rate means you need a very high vaccination rate to prevent outbreaks. It is possible, but not with current levels of institutional distrust.
The average person with the flu gives it to around 1.4 people. The average person with measles gives it to between 12 and 18 people.
Measles cases continue to surge globally, putting millions of children at risk.
More than 10 million people globally were infected with measles in 2023, a 20% increase from the previous year.

AFC Wimbledon are up 1-0.
The goal was assisted by nerdfighteria's own Marcus Browne.
Not a bad morning so far.

If they wanted to take over the country, they only had to wait like three weeks until every technocratic nerd was unreachably distracted.
They fundamentally do not understand us, and that is why they will lose.

Trans kids are not a bargaining chip. Being trans isn’t a culture war. Not giving an inch in my support for trans and nonbinary people of all ages to live freely and openly, and neither should you. Gender is what we make of it, and that’s what they’re afraid of.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.
Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

State-issued IDs that let transgender, queer and nonbinary residents choose “X” instead of male or female remain valid in Mass., for now. When it comes to REAL IDs, however, it's unclear if states will need to change to comply with Trump's new executive order.

I will never stop being mad about how the media has treated the anti-trans movement as a group of ordinary people with legitimate concerns rather than the obvious frothing bigots they are.
ABC White House correspondent just released ANOTHER anti-trans EO expected that we did not cover in our piece this morning:
A federal ban on funding to programs that acknowledge and affirm transgender people.

Water is becoming a major issue in the Southern California fires.
As crews battled the wildfire in Pacific Palisades, they put so much strain on the water system that the fire hydrants ran dry.
The fires have also fed ash into the water supply, leading to a boil order notice.
