Passionate about public health and addressing health inequalities. #resistance needed now. Obsessed with U.K. and US politics, love time with my family, a good read, a good film, cats and hiking.💙☮️🐈‍⬛🕷️
While "peace" negotiations continue, remember that Russia could simply stop the war at any time.

Trump says he is striking boats off Venezuela to stop drugs, mostly cocaine per reports.

Yet he just pardoned the Honduran ex-president who helped push more than 500 tons of cocaine into the U.S., took a $1 million bribe from El Chapo and bragged he would “stuff the drugs up the gringos’ noses.”

Great culture can save lives. Literally.

Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

The boycott was a powerful example of nonviolent protest and civil disobedience. It crippled the city’s bus system financially and drew national attention to the injustices of segregation. Rosa Parks became known as the “mother of the freedom movement” and the “first lady of civil rights.” /end

When are reporters going to start asking Trump who is actually running the executive branch since he keeps saying he ‘doesn’t know’ to these questions. Clearly he’s not in charge and he should be called out on this!
talking to reporters last night, Trump claimed of Hegseth's double tap strike that "I don't know anything about it," then moments later claimed "I don't who you're talking about" when asked his plan to pardon the former Honduran president

On World AIDS Day, I welcome the government’s HIV Action Plan to tackle stigma and end new transmissions in England by 2030.

We should ensure this promise is delivered by reaching the most marginalised communities.

We must also boost international funding to maintain global progress against AIDS.

6 years today the first COVID case was identified in a man in Wuhan marking the beginning of a global pandemic that changed the world. We are way less prepared today to face another pandemic than we were back then. This fact makes me sad.

Momentum has already been lost, and plenty of backers / potential backers have jumped ship to the Greens already

They plan to back candidates - independent socialists, inc some YP members - in May. But will they make a dent? & if they run against Greens, it's hard to see that furthering their aims.

No, no, no, no. UK’s reputation lies partly with the outstanding universities in this country. They are stronger than any of the Reform grifters. Absolutely shouldn’t be ‘surrendering’ their integrity in advance of an election that’s three years from now….
This is the most alarming story I’ve read today. Giving up the fight before it’s started

It really does seem overheated. I really hope Starmer, Reeves and all hold their nerve, especially as they really haven’t taxed enough to start turning the U.K. around, at least not as quickly as public services need. Sometimes wish we could just have a blackout of rightwing nonsense
The sheer scale of media outrage this week about plans to lift hundreds of thousands children out of poverty, by taxing millionaire homeowners, tells you everything you need to know about the real priorities of the British press

“Juan Orlando Hernández helped to facilitate the importation of an almost unfathomable 400 tons of cocaine to this country: billions of individual doses sent to the United States with the protection and support of the former president of Honduras.” — US DOJ

I know I rant about this all the time but the rabid - and omnipresence - anti immigrant line on BBC 6 music news is so jarring

Feels like a text book example of how an Overton window is shifted

We worked with brilliant Sencer Museum staff on the 2nd installment of the Typhoidland exhibit. The exhibition was beautifully curated & the rest of the museum was a treasure trove housing truly unique artefacts from the history of public & global health. Everybody loses when places like this shut!
Now, the CDC Museum's future is on the rocks. The museum doesn't have a director even though a former supervisor is trying to keep the doors open. One of the museum's most popular programs is Disease Detective Camp, a summer program for high school students 👇

Good Friday, friends!!

Hope you all survived.

Hopefully the MAGAt families who showed up at y'all's family gatherings yesterday didn't bring a host of diseases along with their very plain side salads.

Enjoy this lovely laugh from Greg and Lisandria.

#BlackoutTheSystem starts today🔥🔥
