This is your must read this week.

Read this.

It is about leukemia and the powers and limits of science and the terrifying dangers of the turn against it. It is human and excoriating and beautiful. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Trump tariffs create national disaster for tiny Lesotho
When Limpho Lefalatsa first learned she had lost her job at a Lesotho garment factory after 12 years due to U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to hit her tiny African homeland with a crippling tariff on its exports, she was in shock.

Here is what killing #USAID funding does--it kills #Basotho who are HIV positive. Pulling funding with no warning to a program that serves 350,000 HIV+ in #Lesotho and leaving them without access to life-saving meds.

Callous.
Uncaring.
Immoral.
