If you think an AI won’t be popular because it’s inaccurate and insultingly low quality I have a Facebook to introduce you to.

We need YOU to protect global health! The White House is formally trying to claw back funds allocated for life-saving programs including #PEPFAR and #Tuberculosis prevention. We have 45 days to tell our representatives this is unacceptable, call now! win.newmode.net/call...

Don’t let the “we have 45 days” talk fool you. We could have less than a week. Call your MOCs *now*, and keep calling!

Partners In Health unequivocally condemns the Trump administration’s June 4 travel ban, which names two countries in which PIH works, and demands its immediate withdrawal. 👇🧵

Protect trans kids.

This is why we all need to divest ourselves of her work and IP. Every purchase, every stream, is money in her pocket that she is loudly and proudly using to harm trans people. Not only that, it gives her continued relevance and social cachet. Consumption of her work is an endorsement of her views.

@johngreensbluesky.bsky.social I Just wanted to let you know that I went to my daughter's highschool art show yesterday and to say your book had an influence on her would be an understatement. Her name is Samantha and we both love you and Hank and support you and your work wherever we can. #DFTBA

#USAID funding is still frozen, leaving people without the drugs keeping them alive! Tell Congress to stand up for USAID and the millions that rely on it: tbfighters.org/templ...
