This is incredible, amazing, fabulous, stupendous news. In my years working with HIV risk reduction, we longed for this day, every day. "Clinical trial data from last year suggest just two injections a year provide near-complete protection against an HIV infection." www.npr.org/sections/goa...

Apparently this person was asked to provide medical documents that proved she needed to mask. This is why “health exceptions” to masks bans don’t work.

Democrats are still supporting ICE, which is now a lawless, violent Gestapo for the Trump regime that is terrorizing innocent communities and assaulting Senator Padilla. Just sit with it for a moment.

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

Sen. Alex Padilla was forcefully removed and handcuffed for daring to ask a question at a Kristi Noem press conference — a chilling abuse of power. We've previously warned about her extremist religious views and the danger she poses to our country. ffrf.org/news/release...

The charges against Prof. Willoughby-Herard were finally dropped yesterday. She courageously defended UCI students against police stifling dissent against Israel's genocide in Gaza. I am inspired by her courage and honored to have represented her in this case. Solidarity with those who fight.

i know it's just advertisement but it still pisses me off when tech CEOs claim AGI will solve humanity's problems with its vast intelligence. for a lot of problems we already know the solutions, what prevents them being solved is not a lack of intelligence, but that the solutions are unprofitable

The roadmap for turning the NIH into an EBM slush fund and shutting down real science. Kulldorf, in the new public health blog ("journal") co-founded by Bhattacharya. 1: Fund based on who applies 🤔, rather than ideas 2: Give ECR grants. But only to "medical, dental and public health school".
