One of the things I love about tberadicator.com is how stupid I feel when I get hit by one of the latent TBs because it's so extremely avoidable. Which is also true of real-life LTBI! and yet we don't deliver tuberculosis preventative therapy to everybody infected, for some reason (greed)

This #tuberculosis eradicator game goes so hard!! (I panik when the government funding cuts hit) tberadicator.com

Should @hankgreen.bsky.social run for congress? I'm gonna say no, on the basis of protecting our lovely mods from the comments. Should every nerdfighter go to tbfightertofu.github.io/hill_day/moc... and tell their reps to support #tuberculosis funding? Yes!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=rt6N...

Working with @tbfighters.org and @pih.org to end tuberculosis is probably the most important thing I’ll ever do in my lifetime 🧡 And if that’s the case, it will have been a life well spent It’s so fun that we get to do this with friends, too. That makes it even better #TBHillDay

TBFighters are on the Hill today, advocating for increased funding to fight TB! Join us and help amplify our work by using @pih.org's tool to contact your representatives: https://act.pih.org/tb-funding-2026  #TBHillDay #TBSky #IDSky

We can and we WILL #EndTB! . . #TBHillDay #RestoreTBFunding #Tuberculosis #PublicHealth #Nerdfighter #JohnGreen #EverythingIsTuberculosis

Author @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social is back on Capitol Hill today with @tbfighters.org, @pih.org and other advocates pushing for more funding — again — to fight tuberculosis.

It's today! Call your your Congressional Representative and two Senators and ask them to speak up for $225 million for CDC's TB programs in fiscal year 2027 (FY27). Call the Capitol Switchboard at 1-202-224-3121. Please leave a message on the voicemail if no one answers.

Ready to talk to Congress about how to #EndTB @tbfighters.org @pih.org @resultsorg.bsky.social @tballiance.bsky.social @wearetb.bsky.social

We love our @herorats.bsky.social!! APOPO trains rats to detect TB (and landmines!) TB detection rats screen samples quickly & accurately, helping APOPO shorten the time between detection and treatment in communities where access to diagnostics remains limited. projectforawesome.com/videos/apopo...

TBFighters know @msfaccess.org from our fight for affordable TB treatment and diagnostics, but they do so much more! MSF acts fast to save people’s lives in conflict zones, natural disasters, and epidemics. projectforawesome.com/videos/docto...

Spiro protects people from TB by screening them and giving them medicine that can stop them getting TB. They focus on removing barriers to care and work in the community so they can reach as many people as possible. bsky.app/profile/habi...

@wearetb.bsky.social (and their Spanish-language group Somos TB) is a network of tuberculosis survivors working to support each other and to achieve lasting change in TB diagnostics, treatment, and public health programs. bsky.app/profile/tori...

An incredible FOUR MILLION DOLLARS will be distributed to worthy charities bc of the #P4A2026 and there's still time to vote who will get the funds! If you, like us, are looking for some #Tuberculosis fighting causes to support, here are some you can vote for (& you can vote multiple times): #TBSky

I, too, love Darcy and hate TB. If you hate #tuberculosis, vote for @treatmentactiongroup.org to get funds in #P4A2026!

I love working with Tori for a lot of reasons but especially because we communicate in the same break-neck speed, overlapping talking way, haha - I’ll say it again and again but the @tbfighters.org are my answered prayer and I’m so grateful. 💚

How Day 2 of #P4A2026 is going:

The #ProjectForAwesome is this weekend! Learn about the time ACT UP stormed the NIH, and vote for @treatmentactiongroup.org to receive a grant here! projectforawesome.com/videos/proje... @tbfighters.org

#Tuberculosis #EndTB

#tuberculosis (TB) is airborne, preventable and curable. Yet every day TB claims thousands of lives and pushes people into poverty. At #APOPO, with the help of our #HeroRATs, we diagnose 48% more patients for partner clinics who then receive life-saving treatment. #SDG3 #EndTB

Wealth has a large impact on quality of care, or even if one gets care, as individuals like Dr. Robitzek saw in his personal and professional life. How does income impact a person’s experience with TB, both today and in the past? #TBReaders

Aid cuts are devastating health services in Africa The sudden dismantling of USAID has led to more death and disease www.economist.com/middle-east-...

We had such a great time at the US #TBHillDay in April we're taking it up north!🇨🇦 Join us for the #LeadOnTB Advocacy Day on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Sept 25, 2025: bit.ly/LeadOnTB

The impact of USAID cuts is slowly but surely visible in many countries where we work. For eg: In Gambella, Ethiopia, funding cuts led to the suspension of nutrition services in 4 out of 7 refugee camps, leaving around 80,000 children under the age of 5 at risk of life-threatening malnutrition.

TB is the # 1 infectious killer of humankind. We know how to control this disease, but have chosen not to. New books by @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social @vidyakrishnan.bsky.social @mariasmilios.bsky.social & Handaa Enkh-Amgalan bring fresh advocacy communities.springernature.com/posts/tb-an-...

USAID prevented nearly 5 million deaths from TB in the last twenty years, according to analysis published in the Lancet. If these cuts remain, they estimate 14 million preventable deaths over the next five years: www.nbcnews.com/heal... Tell your senator to fight these cuts: act.pih.org/global-h...

Undoing progress through sudden tuberculosis funding cuts - The Lancet www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

This is theft, plain and simple. They stole this from you. Every deletion, every erasure, every website that goes dark is a crime against the American public

When I ran the TB service in Leeds, my colleagues used to joke that I thought "Everything is Tuberculosis" Not quite true - but I did encourage them to think of it, as it is easy to miss. This brilliant book highlights how many in the world don't have access to the resources I had.

What do foreign aid cuts mean for TB care? The U.S. has led the fight against TB for decades. Cutting aid now risks millions of lives. TB is curable. The crisis is political. Dr. @cdmitpih.bsky.social and Dr. Jen Furin break it down in this video. Watch and help fill the gap: pih.org/fill-the-gap

When you have the ability to save lives and you withhold it until someone gives you a ridiculous amount of money, the resulting deaths are your choice. You are choosing to watch people die in the name of profit. #PeopleOverProfits, always.

Gilead has announced that lenacapavir, the game-changing HIV prevention drug just approved by the FDA will cost $28,218 USD per person per year. Researchers say a generic version could be made for just $25 per person a year. Capitalism kills.

Your representatives are waiting on YOUR call! 📱 There are two advocacy sessions almost every day this week! Find the one that fits your schedule best: tbfighter.link/calendar

From a colleague. Keep calling! It’s working!!! “We’re hearing that because enough moderate Republicans in the House are telling Speaker Johnson they’re against PEPFAR cuts, the White House is going to amend the package. The pressure is working!!“

Would you spend $20 to save a human life? What about $20 to save thousands of lives? What if I told you that if you pay US taxes, you already *have* paid this $20, but Trump doesn’t want it to be spent saving lives? That’s exactly what’s happening with these rescissions: youtu.be/oJW2iES4oPw?...

Listen, I know people are upset that there won't be a #RepTV. But it's just because Taylor heard Reputation (Tuberculosis Version) and decided she couldn't top it. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
