BREAKING: U.S. regulators have approved the world's only twice-a-year shot to prevent HIV.

Wow. Lenacapavir, a twice-yearly shot that prevents HIV spread was just approved by the FDA. The problem? Due to government cuts to Medicaid, PEPFAR, and Global Fund, it's unlikely this game-changing drug will reach the many people who need it most in the US and globally.

your trans children are capable of incredible things & brilliant futures u can’t even begin imagine—if u listen to them & get them the real material care they need, when they need it. & frankly if u arent prepared for that possibility u shouldn’t bring a child into this world

From our friends at Transgender Law Center: The Supreme Court has upheld Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for trans youth in U.S. v. Skrmetti. Let’s be clear: gender-affirming care is care. Trans youth deserve safety, support, and the freedom to grow into who they are on their own terms.

YES we get to be mad that autistic people and our families don't get enough supports—But NO ONE gets to blame autistics for being autistic. One way to be an autism ally is to calmly ask unkind or thoughtless autistic-shamers, "how would you feel if someone blamed you for the way your brain works?"

Today's Supreme Court opinion legalizing state discrimination against a small minority of people reinforces the fact that 2016 was the most important election of our lifetime and, possibly, of our country's history.

I’m seeing a lot of people posting about how sick they are with a “summer flu” Main complaints? Fatigue, extremely sore throat, fever and loss of smell. It’s Covid. The Nimbus variant is here & appears to be more transmissible. It’s time to wear a respirator, clean the air & stay home when sick!

I am watching Sen. Alex Padilla talk on the Senate floor about being assaulted last week, as I watch New York City controller Brad Lander get assaulted at immigration court. In between reports on the two MN Democrats shot, one murdered, last weekend. But both sides, people, both sides.

The IRS audits very few people and wins a good portion of them because people simply don't respond. Responding actually increases your chances of winning (and even more so if you hire a rep), either by reducing amount owed or eliminating amount owed completely.

We’re announcing new legislation — the No Secret Police Act (SB 627) — to ban local/state/federal law enforcement, w/ some exceptions, from covering their faces when interacting w/ the public & require them to wear identifying info. The secret police behavior we’re seeing destroys trust & must end🧵
