#TBHillDay
was legitimately one of the best things Iāve ever done. It was fun meeting so many other members of the TB Haters Club, and very inspiring seeing the difference a bunch of ordinary folks can make together, especially when trained by experts! I highly recommend this to any Canadian!

Trump and Noem opened an ICE detention center in Newark without permission and in clear violation of the city's ordinances. And when confronted by Mayor Baraska, they did what authoritarians do. They arrested and disappeared him.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they donāt die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

I spent today learning about global health at Tumaini Global Health's program at Depauw University. It fired me up to head to Washington D.C. on Tuesday to make the case for robust funding for human health both at home and abroad. Can't wait to see hundreds of TB Fighters on Capitol Hill!

Iām only 9 chapters into this book, however, I would greatly recommend this book to other social workers who are interested in learning about the challenges of racialization of disease and the health care systems which look to treat them. We belong in global health care efforts too!

"We wonāt even know about the new deaths, because all the data collection was supported by U.S.A.I.D." It will be years before we understand the size of this crisis--and we may only understand it when highly resistant forms of TB come home to roost in rich countries.

This will directly cause hundreds of thousands of new and needless deaths from tuberculosis every year, and reverse decades of progress in fighting our deadliest infection. I'm just devastated.
