Today is World AIDS Day.

AIDS has killed 44 million people globally.

Over the years, we've learned that silence and stigma are huge contributors.

Yet, the State Department sent an email to employees stating “The US Government will not be commemorating World AIDS Day this year.”

Silence = Death

Yup. It’s yet another op and way too many people fell for it yet again. Call these fuckers out for the fuckery. You don’t ever “gotta hand it to ‘em”

A lot of people are ignoring how the TA who was targeted (who is Trans) gave the 0 grade but the professor (who is Cis) reviewed and confirmed.

This isn't some rogue Grad student who attacked a student. This was a TA doing her job who has become the latest victim of right-wing transphobic hatred.
*sigh* it is simultaneously true that 0/25 is probably too harsh a grade AND that if you are going balls to the wall to complain about the difference between a 0 and a F (say, 12-15), you are missing the forest for the trees. the suspension/investigation is the far more important issue.
Always liked Parker, so this nastiness is rather disappointing.

I’ll always defend trans rights as I have all my career. But I also believe in the First Amendment’s protecting people being wrong.

And that’s where my engagement will respectfully end for the day.

Fentanyl. Drug Overdoses, including Fentanyl, are not even in the top 20 causes of death in the USA. Cancer, Diabetes, Covid, Heart Disease all in the top 10, and all have had their research funding cut. They aren't murdering just Venezuelans. However they are killing us much slower.

Today is World AIDS Day, a day that reminds me of the decades-long fight for dignity, science, and compassion. We’ve come so far because activists, researchers, and communities refused to be ignored.

In a landmark move, Pope Leo has appointed Cardinal Grzegorz Ryś — a leading progressive voice for synodal reform — as the new Archbishop of Kraków, John Paul II’s former diocese.

This marks a major shift for Poland’s Church and signals that Leo’s papacy will deepen, not dilute, Francis’s legacy.
Pope Leo XIV Picks Progressive Bishop for John Paul II’s Home Diocese
In a historic changing of the guard for Poland, Pope Leo XIV has appointed Cardinal Grzegorz Ryś — widely seen as “Pope Francis’s man” in the Polish Church — to the Archdiocese of Kraków.

The absolute for pertussis deaths was in 1976. Also...

"In the mid 1970s, an international controversy over the safety of the DTP immunization erupted in Europe, Asia, Australia, and North America."

The end of the 70s and early 80s saw the rise once again of pertussis deaths.

Secular is either “Christmas Day” by Sponge or “One Christmas Catalogue” by Captain Sensible.

Non secular would probably be “Oh Come All Ye Faithful”

we're going to have to do a lot more work in the coming months to stop attemps to ban or criminalize the use of VPNs
Missouri's age verification law goes into effect today. 🚫

📈 Searches for VPNs are spiking in the state.

🔐 People know these laws put their privacy and sensitive data at risk. They find ways to get around bad laws, like using VPNs or going to non-compliant websites that don't check age.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.
