EXCITING NEWS – Nature Health Global is delighted to announce a SURPRISE dollar-for-dollar match “Challenge Fund” from an anonymous donor today naturehealthglobal.org/exciting-new...

Read every word. All 38 thread posts. Thank you, @gregggonsalves.bsky.social. History eventually finds the truth. Immerwahr will end up on its wrong side.

They decapitated NIAID yesterday. Our best-in-world scientific establishment is in shambles. Jeanne Marrazzo and Cliff Lane -- please know that there's a huge community that feels forever in your debt.

Elon Musk’s holocaust. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/05/h...

Much better article www.nytimes.com/2025/01/28/h...

Amazing news. I’ve rarely felt panic like I did with PEPFAR’s shutdown. The meds for millions can continue for now. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

I never dreamed it would get this bad, this fast. Trump has started the clock on murdering 26 million people currently living with HIV.

This is all very sad. AIDS Inc. kneels to Gilead.

Really sad.

This man knows his 🏳️‍🌈 history. Good 🧵

We can only hope/pray that this gets blocked in the courts.

Slow. Clap.

🤮

it's clear now that republican trolls are squatting here. i know it's tempting to engage, but i cannot stress enough that blocking is the only way to preserve this community. block and move on. block and move on. block and move on.

According to the NYT my old friend Michael Blake @blakefornyc.bsky.social is joining the crowded field running against Mayor Eric Adams. We were resident fellows at Harvard's Institute of Politics in the fall of 2016. Here we are during a fellows' reunion in 2017 outside the Iowa State Capitol.

Sign of the times, no more bluebird on the biorxiv engagement tab..

Somerville rightly slams an anti-trans LGB group.

What a sycophant and know-nothing. I fear for and am depressed for colleagues at the @latimes.com. #PatSoon-Shiong is a disgrace and has embarassed himself with this tweet.

Yeah, @michaelmina.bsky.social’s quotes surprised me too, and not in a good way. After Deborah Birx’s comments on Face the Nation last weekend, it’s been a rough week for normalizing crazy.

I can’t tell you how different it is on X now after so many people have left. I have always followed mostly right-wing accounts because I cover them, and they are running out of people to pick fights with. So they’re just mostly fighting with each other.

Post you from a different era. Me during my junior year abroad, London School of Economics, 1981/82.

Jesus, Deb. Deborah Birx, obviously lobbying for a job in the Trump administration, calls RFK, Jr. a "very smart man."

Be careful, Bob. You’re going to lose your core supporters, lab leakers like Nate Silver, Zeynep, and millions of MAGA cultists. They are deeply wedded to blaming a Chinese lab.

The thing about Twitter versus Bluesky is that the right needs liberals on Twitter to make it feel worthwhile, whereas the left doesn’t need conservatives on Bluesky to make it feel worthwhile.

We won’t be able to empty Elon’s sandbox — X/Twitter — until powerful Dems like the Obamas grow a pair and walk away from it like the rest of us. Come on, Barack, tap your inner activist.

@ezrakleinbot.bsky.social has a piece in the @nytimes.com today that takes complicated public health issues and runs them through the grinder of his brand of realpolitik. The topic? The support of Colorado's Jared Polis for RFK Jr. 1/

FYI. RFK Jr. has blamed AIDS not on HIV but on a "gay lifestyle" and poppers (classic homophobic AIDS denialism), and Tony Fauci. In his book, and on Rogan’s podcast, he praised Peter Duesberg, the founder of AIDS Denialism.

So proud of my old friend @peterstaley.bsky.social for standing up for EcoHealth Alliance when no one else will. www.statnews.com/2024/07/08/e...

Oops

20 years ago yesterday, I had a second coming out via the New York Times (worst headline ever), but it was lonely, scary, and without pride. The pride came later. I’m glad I took the risk. Cover of New York Times Metro Section, January 12, 2004. www.nytimes.com/2004/01/12/n...

Good. A Republican led lynching of female university presidents — the party packed with Nazi sympathizers playing a huge game of deflection — has hit an ethical backbone in Cambridge. /1 www.nytimes.com/2023/12/12/u...

Just scored my first weed here. My, my, how times have changed. I can buy marijuana legally at an AIDS organization.

35 years ago, today. Quotes by Jeremiah Johnson, Sarah Schulman, and Jason Rosenberg.

I hold both these thoughts in my head today. It’s extremely rare to witness an international tragedy that was this inevitable. And… Hamas is pure evil.

We need to expand the size of SCOTUS, if only to find enough justices that can actually read the Second Amendment. Our founding fathers would view us as crazy these days.

Thanks, @angierasmussen.bsky.social, for the invite!!
