Sorry Seth, I don’t vote for transphobes. You can’t feed your constituents to the fascists and then expect the survivors to vote for you.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Fall is the time of year the windows can be open the most, and so that is the most likely time someone walking by might see one of my black cats sitting in the window like a Halloween decoration, if Halloween decorations got pissed off by birds

There's a wrong way and a right way to report this

The NYT liveblog on the autism press conference is a fascinating read -- largely because it's written by health reporters and not political reporters. Look at how direct and appropriately shocked these posts are! www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...

Musicians who teach kids instrumental music are actually the most wonderful humans.

We have inadvertently referenced Star Trek.

Also, D(e)ad is very funny and you should see it

Used to be you could hold a frying pan in one hand and fit it in the sink because it wasn’t too heavy or big. Can’t do that these days, because wok

At the movies with a bunch of Nerdfighters while wearing my TBFighters shirt and just happened to run into a different TBFighter. The shirt works!

Moxifloxacin would be a great name for a whimsical TTRPG character

I did make it home by the way, just with a bit more of the bushes in the car (and my leftover pizza) than I planned on. Shoulda just scraped the guy’s car instead

I can’t wait to work in a building where the entire parking lot to 5 different businesses can’t be fully blocked off by a single person parking their car in the driveway instead of the lot. I just want to go home

In less than a week, nearly ONE HUNDRED Canadian TBFighters and TB advocates will meet with their MPs in Ottawa, Ontario for the #LeadOnTB Hill Day! Wish them luck, and let us know if you'll be there! #TBSky

I think sometimes doctors mumble their technical jargon because even they aren’t sure of all the syllables or how to pronounce them, but it’s too late to back up and use the acronym

It’s Friday, and we could all use some good news! Today, we’re celebrating a historic drop in the cost of drug-resistant tuberculosis treatment. This progress is thanks in part to PIH and partners’ advocacy and research, which helped make treatment shorter, cheaper, and more effective.

Just wrote to all my members of Congress begging them to fight hard for trans rights because it is literally a life-or-death matter for so so many people, so I guess I’m a violent extremist now

You’ve been hit by You’ve been hit by A smooth Kennedy

1. Republicans are attempting to get the FBI to label trans advocacy as domestic terrorism. Project 2025's parent org is pushing it. It would not label all trans people as terrorists, but it would open the door for heavy surveillance and disruption. Subscribe to support our journalism.

OMG! #PEPFAR funding is being withheld by the OMB! Contact your reps today and urge them to take back the power of the purse: act.pih.org/pepfar-a...

He is our 13th colleague killed since the war started in #Gaza. Doctors Without Borders strongly condemns his killing and call yet again for the immediate restoration of the ceasefire and protection of civilians:

HAPPY HILDEGARD VON BINGEN DAY

We are truly in dark times. "Trump said Monday in the Oval Office that he would have “no problem” w/removing LGBTQ+ Progress Pride flags from D.C. streets, telling reporters that the banners could even be treated as symbols of domestic terrorism." 🧾 www.advocate.com/news/trump-c... MORE ⬇️

“But I will!” has become a part of my daily vocabulary but none of my coworkers even know who @aliona.bsky.social is, let alone get this very niche reference

i think this is about her bad movie but i think it should be standard operating procedure for everyone

If we truly cared about children, we would - ensure they had easy access to lifesaving vaccines - enact policies to control guns - protect them in conflicts and wars - tackle climate change which jeopardizes their future Adults are failing on all the above

tbh I keep expecting Kennedy to leap out from behind a hedge trying to suck the vaccine out like snake venom in an old western

Our live Q&A with Dr. Mukherjee is almost here! Join us Monday for a discussion of Mountains Beyond Mountains with one of the people there in the early days of @PIH.org #TBReaders

News outlets like @wsj.com have a critical responsibility to report the truth. Promoting false information that ties our LGBTQ+ community to the Utah shooting is reckless, irresponsible, and puts trans people especially in danger. Anyone with a platform must do better. Lives are on the line.

1. In the immediate aftermath of Charlie Kirk's shooting, the WSJ laundered claims that "transgender symbols" were found with the shooter's gun. Now, a press conference reveals that NO such symbols were found. WSJ owes a full retraction and apology. Subscribe to support our journalism.

For those who care about TB—and humanity—this is a terrific and well-referenced article about the death and destruction sown by the current U.S. administration. www.cidrap.umn.edu/tuberculosis... thank you @cidrap, for this comprehensive reporting. @tbfighters.org @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social

New research estimates that as many as 2.2 million more people could die of tuberculosis if U.S. cuts to foreign aid become permanent.

Transgender people are owed a retraction and apology from @wsj.com. The lie has already become canon to millions and it seems the least they could do.

Yet more evidence that reducing funding for the fight against #tuberculosis has led and will continue to lead to immense preventable suffering and death: www.npr.org/sections/goa...
