Death by idiocy & ignorance is coming. Uganda has an Ebola outbreak. 12 Americans were exposed to it. Uganda tried informing the US but its staff had gone. There was no-one to answer the phone. No-one to set up border screening. No-one to liaise with WHO. Madness.

Before Rosa Parks made history, 15-year-old Claudette refused to give up her seat on a segregated bus in Montgomery, Alabama. She was young, bold, and way ahead of her time, standing up when it was dangerous but necessary 🤎 #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackSky

Don’t let others gaslight you into “it’s not THAT bad” nonsense. It is THAT bad. It will be life or death for millions of Americans. This is the dismantling of our government. We must not obey in advance. #resist #wemustact #mutualaid

I am hearing that PEPFAR programs are still being stalled, and medication appointments cancelled, despite a waiver in place to allow life-saving programs to continue. Thus, @belindaarch.bsky.social and I are sharing the letter we wrote, signed by 110 economists, urging its continuation. 1/4

Will repeat this forever, but if there's a US foreign policy program that deserves unambiguous support from a global health/humanitarian/economic/political/every angle you can think of perspective, it's PEPFAR. Sharing the economists letter of support here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... #Econsky

My people have never required executive orders to celebrate and honor the incredible legacies of the Black people who helped shape this country, so we won't be stopping now. All month long, I'll be featuring Black History facts. Because of them, we can, and we will. 🤎 #BlackHistoryMonth

Also: the stress from all this fucking trauma and the feeling that we are not in control and the total helplessness is gonna to make us wildly irritable. We’re gonna be on hair triggers and we’re gonna lash out. We have GOT to try not to turn on each other. Eating our own only helps them oppress us

Watching these red states attack federal funding—apparently not realizing that most of their states are broke and would completely collapse without it—will always be hilarious to me. “Give it all back to the states!” Sit down, Cletus. Your state can’t buy sandwiches for kids.
