Cory Booker just gave the longest speech in the history of Congress and concluded by apologizing to everyone who had to stay up all night keeping the chamber open and operating.

The Gilded Age may have ended in the 1900s but consumption, more commonly known as #Tuberculosis, didn’t end in the past. In fact, TB is still the deadliest infectious disease in the world, even though it’s curable! #IDSky More TB myths: www.muellerhealthfoundation.org/knowledge/de...

I'd like to announce that I'm pivoting to media criticism. Here is my critique of the media. It sucks ass. Having registered this critique I'm now pivoting back to songs about the true nature of prophecy & books where there was maybe a ghost but you're not entirely sure

If, for example, Trump says nobody is allowed to dance, on penalty of death, he has no legal power to make that declaration and no power to enforce it, but if everyone stops dancing it's as good as if he did. Reporting as though Trump has these powers helps give him those powers.

I think it's important to remember, with everything extremely fucked up and dumb right now, that at the root of it, fuck fuck fucking fucking fuck.

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country. This Friday, where will you be? standupforscience2025.org

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation. I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

Save the world with sweetness. Now is the perfect time to encourage your loved ones to call their representatives. Ask them to advocate for USAID's critical work. Millions of lives are at stake. They can can use PIH's call tool at act.pih.org/foreign-aid-... #ENDTB #Tuberculosis #TBsky

Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts. Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressionally mandated. They’ve saved millions of lives. 🧵

NEW: Backstory on VA's decision to cancel roughly 1000 contracts worth $2B. DOGE apparently made no effort to find out what they were for and didn't both to find out they were putting of of business numerous service-disabled vet businesses with their decision. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/more-...

The VA was doing an abysmal job of taking care of vets and now they are making more cuts. My mom just got her VA disability payment early for the first time in over two decades and she is freaked out. I am freaked out. Our vets cant afford even poorer care from a system thats already neglecting them

Stop work orders on TB projects = halted clinical trials, interrupted treatment, and lost lives. This is unethical & deadly! The world cannot afford to turn its back on TB. Read and amplify our statement here: docs.google.com/document/d/1... #RestoreTBFunding #EndTB

This is a gut-wrenching, beautifully written essay. A doctor must watch helplessly as children die because USAID's freeze on aid has limited access to nutritional supplements. time.com/7258248/us-f...

It is false to suggest - as some recently have - that the Kansas #Tuberculosis outbreak is the largest in US history, let alone the largest in the last decade. The CDC only began recording cases in the 1950s, by which point TB was treatable. apnews.com/article/tube...
