So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

In this video, a then 5-year-old boy, Ivan, cries desperately as he leaves Ukraine on foot at the border with Poland. He had left Kyiv two days earlier, after losing contact with his father. Ordinary people passed him from hand to hand until he reached Poland. #RussiaIsTheAgressor #FuckElon

Russia is the aggressor. Appeasing aggressors leads to more war. These are facts.

The American Bar Association has just called upon every attorney, regardless of their political views, to join them & stand up for the rule of law & at minimum insist that our government "follow the law." Every lawyer has an ethical responsibility to do so. www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

We've officially turned into that country who has a leader (and a shadow leader) who use the nation's legal department to punish those who oppose him. That's not democracy.

I went to dinner with a friend last night who's father-in-law is dying from cancer. He left the hospital yesterday with his wife and told her to call her dad today and let him know he loved her right. As a father that cut me to my core. I hope, everyday, that I love Liam right. #MensMentalHealth

Your job will post your job the day after you die, if not within hours of being notified. Live life accordingly.

Being a counseling master’s student today means learning to empower others and advocate for mental health—work that’s more important now than ever. In a divided world, we must challenge inequities, fight stigma, and push for accessible care for all. 🌱💪 #MentalHealthMatters #Advocacy #ThoughtForToday

Ok #booksky, let’s talk. 👎🏼Goodreads, owned by Amazon, fuels its monopoly on books. 👍🏼StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform, offers an ethical, ad-free alternative with mood-based recommendations, user control over data, and a focus on inclusivity. Support diversity over corporate power!
