Every time I remember that the dumbass interpretation of the 2nd amendment was a 2008 (all-caps) 5–4 case, I get increasingly pissed off.

We dont want AI. We want affordable groceries, housing and free healthcare. You know, basic human rights.

the excommunication of the convert JD Vance

God bless food pantries, but also, wtf are these hours. Yeah, no, I’m totally available smack dab in the middle of a workday in a 2hr time slot

57 days before I can wash dishes without leaving my apartment

The temperature isn't the only thing that's too high today. In the US, @gilead.com charges $28,000 for the #HIV #PrEP known as #lenacapavir. That's way too high! People should be able to get #2Shots$40Everywhere

I get that we can’t, like, blanket ban the guns… but could we at least consider getting rid of these fireworks? Re: why do we even have the 4th, I hear these things going every night

The active duty Air Force officer who protested the president and called for impeachment and removal on the Capitol’s steps today. That’s some early July behavior right there. 10/10. (sad he didn’t have anyone standing next to him)

Got he/him-ed with purpose by a child today, but my coworker corrected them :despair:

you do not have to immediately go “this will also hurt cis people” when there is transphobic legislation/law passed. y’all are not the targets and it is enough that we are like yes, that is a knockon effect and it is bad, but it is not the fucking point

Guaranteed: 1) Black girls will be harassed and demanded to be tested over and over again regardless of how competitive they are. 2) Winners from public schools will be relentlessly hounded by the parents and coaches of losers at private schools, with the goal of making them quit the sport.

Not surprising, but still infuriating. I hope these "justices" know they will go down in history as the hateful bigots they are, that their names will always be read with disgust, and that their graves will be gender-neutral restrooms for the rest of time.

Trans rights are human rights. If we cannot protect the rights of the most vulnerable population of society, not a single one of us has rights.

The Supreme Court today ruled 6-3 for the plaintiff in Scrooge v. Tiny Tim, et al., paving the way to remove federal and state restrictions on sheer callousness and wanton cruelty. Sotomayor penned the dissent for the three liberal justices, arguing that good is better than evil.

I am very sad (obviously), so if anyone wants to drop their favorite pieces of queer joy in my replies right now, I would love that. (bonus points if it’s songs or other stuff i can enjoy while doing homework.) (that happens to be reading abt the Courts. fml)

Excited to see the parades in the streets

if you're trans, you have to live. one day you can live to see these guys all die.

Ope 🙃 there goes our rights

It's really annoying when I can't do an otherwise easy repair because the manufacturer of the instrument won't sell me the parts I need. But not nearly as annoying as people getting #HIV because @gilead.com won't sell #lenacapavir at #2Shots$40Everywhere, not even to @msf.org

Got out of the shower, and fully thought someone had broken into my apt to place an origami bunny on my counter …it was a ball of napkin i crumpled up earlier and haven’t bothered to grab a new trash bag yet…

i’m so normal abt laurie hernandez coming out

I really hope I’m gonna be a good teacher. Because I’m taking the college-level course of the class I wanna teach right now, and I Hate it. It’s so hard. No matter what I do, the information goes in one ear out the other. But I love the subject material.

As the great Joia Mukherjee said, "cynicism is a cop-out". It's quite convenient to say "there's nothing I can do to change it" because it both absolves you of duty to try and makes you feel superior to those fools who do try. But it's a guaranteed L. Better to try and fail than to forfeit your hope

I’m coming to understand that maintaining hope is radical.

We wanted to amplify this because it’s genuinely sad that this isn’t how America’s 250th birthday is unfolding. America’s 250th birthday should have been about bringing people together through our shared culture, history, music, art, and traditions.

I just got 68% on my open note 100-level midterm 🙃🙃🙃

Honestly, it does seem like the reflection pool is serving as a distraction from the Epstein files.

Ending AIDS needs 20M on PrEP How I wish we all had access now But the global #'s currently 3.5 And that number is unfortunately in decline Access for all I was told To use a drug it has to be sold Where are the drugs They're not here Now MSF's confused and the path is unclear To access lenacapavir

"'You miss 100% of the shots we won't sell to you. - Wayne Gretzky' - Michael Scott" - @gilead.com (after refusing to let you access #lenacapavir because you were born in a country they don't like enough) #2Shots$40Everywhere

The answer: because "We" don't have PrEP, as long as @gilead.com continues to artificially constrain supply and charge us $30k per person per year #PeopleOverProfits

“democrats and republicans are all the same” a democrat would have the original cast of hamilton performing for the 250th birthday but alas we can’t have ANYTHING

My parents wonder why I never tell them anything. (i texted them a story about how all my kids were very excited to find out they all had adhd at archeology camp, and where shocked at my reply of “no shit” (paraphrased)) (and my parents responded with “stigmas are harmful”)

I left the Church years ago. I can’t go back. I do not demand that the Church change for me. But when the Holy Father says stuff like this I feel so connected to the depths of my faith, to the part of the Church that I did not and cannot leave, and I am so happy to feel that way

one of the oldest and most ubiquitous beauties of nature: the pizza john.

@gilead.com you seem distracted lately. Do you want to talk? We've got a suggestion. #2Shots$40Everywhere

So here's the situation with @gilead.com They hold the patent for a life-saving drug called Lenacapavir (LEN). 2 shots a year prevent you from getting HIV. It's a massive game changer for ending HIV transmission! But here's the catch: Gilead won't sell it to Doctors Without Borders. 1/

🧵🧵🧵

hope he finds it @gilead.com

International sports always reminds me that I am patriotic for the America that Republicans stole from us and we have to not only take it back, but crush white evangelical christian supremacy.

Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom, but it is also a reminder that rights and justice are not always delivered equally or immediately. Progress has never been automatic. It has always required people willing to stand up, speak out, and push this country to live up to its ideals.

A drug exists that is nearly 100% effective at preventing HIV and only needs to be taken twice a year. It's called lenacapavir. But Gilead, the company that controls it, isn't making enough available for the world. We know Gilead can make lenacapavir more accessible.

My English husband just came in, took one look at this and said, "This is what you get for leaving us."

It’s the law

Doing a rain dance. Come on, Mother Nature give the White House a good soaking tomorrow!

nobody should be a trillionaire

If anyone was wondering, the Bill of Rights page does have a picture of Lin Manuel in his Hamilton costume, with the caption “Hamilton wrote about 2/3 of the Federalist Papers.” I love these authors

"Women with HIV get pulmonary tuberculosis: cash not caskets" is a perfect explanation of why TBFighters want Gilead to make Lenacapavir available to all

Yes I had to just stop taking notes for several minutes to say almost the entirety of a Hamilton song by memory (the headline is called: The Constitutional Convention)
