This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

submitted 8 days ago • 15 comments

Ugandan health authorities have closed all the clinics that focused on patients with HIV and TB. Staffed by health workers who over time developed deep expertise in sensitively managing infectious yet stigmatised diseases, the clinics were key to cutting HIV infection rates.

Make no mistake, we will win this fight. While there are lots of folks who don't know trans people well, they are repelled by the immense power of the federal government being brought to bear with such dishonesty and cruelty. Article by Riki Wilchins @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

After seeing more wild US policy decisions related to South Africa/ns, I found this recent article with a few taps on the keyboard--Tesla guy & Paypal guys. The Bannon quote in this article is just, WOW. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

TOMORROW: We’re rallying at the Treasury building with @moveon.org to stop Elon Musk’s hostile takeover and tell this unelected billionaire to get his hands off our money. We hope you can join us if you’re in the D.C. area.

As someone aware of the troubled history of international development, I am nonetheless infuriated by the decision about USAID. This is not protection of Americans. It is the firing of 1000s of Americans by a South African apartheid supporter who was not elected to office. Fight against the coup.

Last night Trump gave orders that violate the Constitution and Congress’ power of the purse. This is nothing short of a coup attempt to consolidate all power in the presidency and sideline Congress's powers. Call or email your congressional representatives to demand action.
