A new study by economists estimates that a 25% cut in science funding would result in a GDP decline similar in magnitude to the 2008 recession.
They also estimate that a 75% cut to government science would trigger a larger GDP decline than in any recession since the Great Depression.

I called RFK Jr. a murderer yesterday, and I stand by that accusation because his attacks on public health – especially on vaccines – will cause countless deaths. Young children will die of measles because of RFK Jr. A pandemic under this regime would make the last one look like a nature hike. 1/2 🧵

Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching.
Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.

This is what a rigged economy looks like:
In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker.
In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker.
This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker.
That has got to change.

“Jimmy Carter’s five decades of leadership in global health brought a hideous disease to the brink of elimination, helped deliver basic health and sanitation to millions of people and set a new standard for how aid agencies should engage with the countries they assist.”
Jimmy Carter’s Quiet but Monumental Work in Global Health
In his decades as a former president, he and his wife, Rosalynn Carter, helped bring lifesaving treatments and sanitation to poor people around the world.

I have an entire chapter in my upcoming book citing @equalityalec.bsky.social’s term “copaganda” thru the lens of women & incarceration & it is hands down the most important chapter to me. Even moreso than the chapter I wrote about the Bureau of Prisons killing my mother. How we see women kills them

The manhunt for the United Healthcare shooter demonstrates something that I've tried to explain many times over the years, and that data shows is true: increasing police presence in a Black neighbourhood, usually *increases* the murder rate in that neighbourhood.🙂🙃
Wait... What?!
Yes. Seriously.

Homeless women have to be creative. They cannot be on the open streets or men will rape, traffick, and/or kill them. They also cannot go to shelters b/c men will rape them & if they have kids they may not be allowed
Homeless women are often called the invisible epidemic b/c the data cant catch them

There are really people in the U S of A sleeping in their cars cause they are homeless. I just saw this lady on tik tok and she was showing how she winterized her car but her spirit was so positive and uplifting. I pray her situation gets better

Today is my birthday and it would mean a lot to me if you have the resources if you donated to your local abortion fund, bail fund, or any other grassroots org doing locally-based abolition, reproductive rights, or justice work. Here is a thread of some of my favorites for inspo:

I’m old enough to remember the catastrophic toll of HIV/AIDS denial by South African President Thabo Mbeki, which led to >300,000 AIDS deaths.
I never thought that 20 years later, an HIV/AIDS denialist would be tapped for the helm of health policy in the US.

Trump’s pick for Surgeon General is Fox News personality and medical doctor Janette Nesheiwat.
Her forthcoming book is blurbed as “an extraordinary journey of compassion and faith“ whose anecdotes “illuminate the transformative power of prayer”

Police rape so many women in Louisiana that when an independent investigation was done, NOPD HAD TO CONFIRM IN THE MEDIA that 1 in 5 of theirs had been credibly accused of rape/SA and/or DV
A report is filed on one of our officers (on average) every 10 days
Matt Gaetz is their new boss.

When I was a freshman in college, the older girls told me to never be out alone at night in Port Allen, LA b/c the cops there would pull women over & rape them for threat of arrest
13 years later, I have an entire folder in my phone dedicated to the phenomenon.
And Matt Gaetz will be their leader

Y’all centered an entire criminal justice reform movement on men.
And only men.
And did not give a DAMN that cops were raping so many women in the prisons that the FBI had to kick in the door and arrest TWO WARDENS for running a “rape club” in California.
