Repeating myself, but the idea of Trump & Musk as "masculine" remains bizarre. They're just the toxic and immature parts with none of the traditional "masculine" virtues. They're whiny, entitled, unreliable, dishonest, self-absorbed, never take responsibility, never put duty over self-interest, etc.

Top development leaders Winnie Byanyima, Jayati Ghosh & Joe Stiglitz all agree: tax the rich. Even gazillionaire Abigail Disney agrees the wealth of folks like her should be taxed. Oh, & they’ve got the backing of the Pope. Taxing the rich is popular, mainstream & winnable.

Follow these posts. All of should indeed be asking: why the outcry now (when it affects most of "us" personally) and why not before (when it was "those others")? (I may have responded directly, and thank you Seye for calling all of us out.)

"The [hu]man [soul] dies in all who keep silent in the face of tyranny." — Wole Soyinka They’ve tested us (global/public health) and we’ve consistently failed. It is death by a thousand cuts. But our silence, our capitulation will not protect us. They have come for us knowing we have no soul.

Global Health: Science and Practice (GHSP) is (was?) an important open access journal run with USAID funding. I’ve published in it and know many on the wonderful Editorial staff. They are also victims here, which many responses to this post are clearly missing. Please stop adding insult to injury.

Men’s monopoly on global health leadership is at odds with the scientific evidence, writes @jocalynclark.bsky.social. And with the current backlash against rights and equity, diversity, and inclusion efforts, it’s even more important to advocate for gender equality www.bmj.com/content/388/...
