This is the best piece I’ve read so far on why the Guinea-Bissau RCT, in which a proven life-saving vaccine will be deliberately WITHHELD, is unethical “When benefit is established, withholding an intervention is no longer neutral experimentation it becomes premeditated harm”

Other countries have agency & domestic politics, too 🇨🇦

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

🚨 Over 165,000 people have fled conflict in South Sudan in the past three months. As tensions rise, families are being uprooted again—both within the country and across borders. The humanitarian situation is worsening fast.

🚨 UNHCR is raising the alarm over the deepening humanitarian emergency in eastern Chad. The number of Sudanese refugees has more than tripled in just over two years of deadly conflict.

Happy Pride month, all! Way back in 2018 I made these galaxy pride flags. They were shared many thousands of times, featured on Vice, and even made their way onto book covers and into video games. Here are the original ones I created (in no particular order!) so Bluesky can have them too. 💙
