Remember when the WH insisted that global HIV prevention & treatment was exempt from the freeze? When it seemed MAYBE they understood that cutting off medicine could put the entire planet at risk of drug resistant HIV strains? Wrong. Elon Musk’s interns were simply shutting payments off manually.

What’s getting lost in the coverage of this incident is the domestic violence. Cory Mills assaulted a woman. USATTY Martin, who is acting as the personal attorney to a serial abuser of women, is ignoring the warrant. B/c violence against women is completely acceptable in the Trump administration.

You know that both the sheriff and the Idaho GOP are scared shitless about these goons assaulting this woman because no one will admit to hiring them.

For those following the story of unidentified men violently dragging a protester from a local Idaho GOP meeting, it turns out they were from a private security firm called LEAR Asset Management. But neither the sheriff (who watched it all go down) or the GOP will take responsibility for hiring them.

If Trump and Musk were trying to weaken the United States and sell it to its foreign enemies, how would they act any differently from the way they're acting now? Not at all, you say? Maybe you should wonder why that is.

For a lot of white people, the COVID lockdowns are the first time in their lives they've ever experienced meaningful restrictions, particularly meaningful government restrictions. So it's really not surprising, in retrospect, that their reaction was to overthrow the government and destroy science.

An attack on NSF is not just an attack on the staff working there; it's also an attack on academia as a whole. The aim is to starve out the universities and stop the training of new scholars. It's an attempt to rip out the system's roots and stems so it can't come back.

This is what revisionist history looks like, in real time. And this also is why it might appear that archaeologists and historians have to dig deep to discover the existence of powerful women and marginalized groups -- because their legacies are so often erased.

We worked for months with USAID to build an $85,000,000 project to end TB in two regions of the Philippines. The project is funded by private money, the Philippine government, and matching USAID funds. It could provide a blueprint for eliminating TB worldwide--except it's...not happening.
