Elon Musk genuinely has to be regarded as one of history’s pre-eminent mass murderers
HORRIFYING -
Dismantling USAID & cancelling >80% of aid caused ~750,000 deaths by mid-2025
🧸Most were children
⌛️ Many died within the first year
😰 Preventable deaths were mainly from:
- HIV, TB, malaria
- Maternal & fetal deaths
- Malnutrition

The harm this will cause is incalculable.
The ramifications go far beyond the infections that could be prevented. One example - a vaccine against EBV could potentially prevent multiple sclerosis.

Can you imagine how much good this can do in terms of both 1) enriching and beautifying the world around us and 2) stabilizing the lives of individual artists??

The choice to frame this rhetorically as a negotiation *with ICE and DHS* rather than, you know, a decision about their future made by their rightful superiors in the popularly elected legislature is, to me, incredibly grating.
Our DHS reform demands are exceedingly reasonable.
We're asking ICE to do nothing more than follow the standards that the vast majority of law enforcement agencies already follow.
Republicans, the ball is in your court. The clock is ticking.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.
Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.
Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.
Get them out!

Proposal:
Instead of saving the exciting clinical trial results for the last day of conferences to try and get people to stay for the whole meeting, they should present them at the beginning of the conference so we can talk about them while we’re together!!

Sigh. Kid 1’s motion sickness started much younger than mine did, and so I have feared that he would start having migraines at a similarly younger age. Very unhappy to say I was right.

Your regularly scheduled reminder anti-myelin-associated glycoprotein neuropathy and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody associated disease are two very different things and you should not order MAG antibodies when you're worried about MOGAD/demyelinating disease.
Thank you.

Don't be a fan of politicians. Don't. Do. Not.
Be ready to turn on them if they even think of stepping out of line. You know how corporations aren't our friend? Well, voters aren't THEIR friends.
We are angry, feral, and tired.
Oh you "wrote" a book that's cute where's my fucking health care

ICE & CBP have killed several people over the last year and the only names to enter the popular consciousness are the names of the white Americans they have killed. We need to attend to what structures that, both externally & internally.
And the same outraged cops? Defended the killers amongst them

People are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas González in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.
