Every year since 1988, the United States has recognized World AIDS Day — until now. Why not? Maybe because the Trump administration doesn’t want to acknowledge that its foreign aid cuts led to nearly 150,000 deaths from AIDS, according to Boston University researchers. Shameful.

Jeff Bezos paid $50 million for a wedding. He just got a $16 billion tax break. He just laid off 60,000 people. And you're furious about a kid getting a free school lunch?

Yes!!! 🙌🏾

The people who’ve been calling you baby murderers your whole life want you to turn down the temperature.

Jerome Adams, who served as US surgeon general during President Donald Trump’s first administration, is calling for Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to be fired as controversy continues to swirl over his handling of vaccine approvals. https://cnn.it/47s9lKt

80s night at Filoli was fun!

Fun weekend of events - first Weird Al, and then Russell Peters.

@chickfila.bsky.social conference in #NorCal 🤣

One of our investigators got all FIVE of his grants suspended (2 in which he is PI and 3 in which he is co-PI). This is INSANE and DEVASTATING.

BREAKING: We're suing ICE for unlawfully targeting and arresting people who show up to court for their immigration hearings.

So proud of my friend and colleague, Dr. Jeanne Lackamp, who is now an endowed Chair! Congrats!!! 🎉

Wow—the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention (named after Raphael Lemkin, a Holocaust survivor who coined the term genocide) says plainly: "No more discussions, meetings, reports, sessions, summits…IF YOU HAVE THE POWER, YOU MUST USE IT." "HISTORY WILL DETERMINE THE RECTITUDE OF YOUR ACTIONS."

Cheating on your spouse with a consenting adult comes with consequences. Unlike cheating on your spouse with one of Jeffrey Epstein's trafficked minors.

Nice to see Cuomo finally being a team player and campaigning for Zohran

RFK Jr. just fired thousands of federal workers at crucial health agencies, including the FDA, CDC, and NIH. These are the people who inspect our food, track infectious diseases, and research life-saving treatments and cures. How is this "Making America Healthy Again"?

There it is. Republicans just BLOCKED the release of the Epstein Files.

We are offering performances with American Sign Language interpreters on July 19th! Thanks to our friends at The HeArd, four shows that day will have ASL interpreters.  #BorderLight2025 #ASL #ASLinterpreter #CLEevents #DowntownCleveland

How I feel when I express my feelings about this current administration and someone says "It's just politics".

Pulitzer Prize-winning Palestinian writer Mosab Abu Toha says he’s been suspended from Substack, a platform where white supremacists publish without issue. I can’t recall this happening to any prominent writers in the past.

Enjoying the sights and sounds of central coast cali. The waves are healing. Happy Independence Day!

& Juliet in SF at Orpheum Theater

We were so close! Heck of a game, @wgoldenstate.bsky.social!

Beautiful #Filoli with trolls and redwoods! #Peninsula

Gotta love our @wgoldenstate.bsky.social! #GoValkyries

Amazing game! Go Valkyries!

Impressive they arrested the assassin in Minnesota without harming him when they can’t reliably pull off a traffic stop without killing someone. Can’t qwhyte figure out what the difference is.

RFK Jr’s ACIP pick, Martin Kulldorff, said one of the most disturbing images from the pandemic was a toddler crying about having to wear a mask. I see toddlers cry about everything all the time, and I found it far more disturbing to see refrigerator trucks full of body bags outside of the hospitals…

Along with abolishing ICE we should abolish all for-profit prison companies in the country.

Christians who see their religion as charitable and welcoming should do more to confront Christofascists like Rep. Mary Miller.

Lovely meeting up with Vanessa! So proud of the work she is doing and the physician-researcher she has become. #Cle2Bay #MedSky

“Crazy how states plan to criminally investigate every miscarriage but they “don’t have the resources” to test rape kits or enforce restraining orders.” 1000s of rape kits sit on the shelves untested, but prosecutors in W Virginia are now actively pursuing people who have *miscarriages*.

Yesterday, this caticorn was mailed out to a 6yo little girl. It has the recording of her father's heartbeat before he died in our #ICU. It's so heartbreaking when young patients die & I can only hope that she will find some comfort holding this adorable plush (not going to lie, I love it so much).

Louder for those in the back

Make the most of the last day of #SHMConverge25! Check out the palliative care mini track for the latest & greatest in serious illness care. @societyhospmed.bsky.social @rabrazzak.bsky.social #HAPC

Hospitalists who are care for patients with serious illness - and who doesn't? - check out this palliative care lineup at #SHMConverge25! Hope to see you there! @societyhospmed.bsky.social @anniemassart.medsky.social @rabrazzak.bsky.social #hapc

Wonderful to turn on the tv and see your friend on. @americancancersoc.bsky.social #Hapc #PalOnc #MedSky

I am so deeply ashamed of the human race, particularly the ones who think it’s funny to pick on the vulnerable.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Harvard is not bending the knee to Donald Trump and his administration: "The university will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights. Neither Harvard nor any other private university can allow itself to be taken over by the federal government....

Harvard University just announced they will refuse to comply with Trump after he threatened to withhold their funding if they don’t dismantle their support for diversity. “No government should dictate what private universities can teach.”

THREAD: The Trump administration's DOJ has removed a study from the NIJ website that found that immigrants, and particularly undocumented immigrants, commit crimes at significantly lower rates than U.S. citizens. The study is at odds with the Trump regime's propaganda about immigrants & crime. (1)

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed the SAVE Act, a bill that would make it much harder for millions of people to register to vote. We're calling on the Senate to reject this legislation.

I hope the @wgoldenstate.bsky.social Valkyries can pick up #AzziFudd in the @wnba.bsky.social draft!

Saw this post and chills ran down my spine. Let's not let history repeat itself.

Spectacular view of 100,000 people attending the #HandsOff march in NYC

THIS IS TERRIFYING‼️ Dr. Peter Marks, former head of vaccines at the FDA, just had his last day—forced to resign or be fired because he wouldn’t lie about vaccines. He gives a chilling warning: the U.S. is unprepared for biowarfare—because the response team has been gutted.

Head of NINR ousted by Trump and Republican pick NINR has been a big funder of #PalliativeCare research. It is clear that Trump and the Republicans do not care about patients.

Senator Bernie Sanders is going off about Donald Trump and Jared Kushner's proposed "Riviera" in Gaza: "There is a name and a term for forcibly expelling people from where they live. It is called 'ethnic cleansing.' It is illegal and it is a war crime." Thank you, Bernie!
