If you’re looking for something to do, start working on overturning citizens united in your state. States control the power corporations have. Take their political power away with a ballot initiative. Here’s how: open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

Call your Senator and tell them to pass this bill and accomplish one good thing this year to give children & their parents hope.

Thanks to the FIFA peace award, I learned that Donald J Trump brought peace to the United States when he ended the War of 1826 between the nations of Oceana and Genovia. Billions would have died but for his tariff plan-which delayed the use of nuclear weapons.

I'm confused. I thought Trump had an unprecedented, never before seen "mandate."
What's all this talk about a "slim margin" and that Tennessee's district 7 would be a "deciding vote" in the House?

Injectable PrEP (“LEN”) is a total game changer

"We still don’t have an HIV vaccine yet, but LEN might be the closest thing yet"

The WHO now recommends injectable lenacapavir twice yearly for HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP).
This is a big step toward expanding HIV prevention options globally, particularly among those who face challenges with daily adherence to other forms of PrEP, stigma, or access to health care.

⚠️ 1.3 million people acquired HIV in 2024 alone, including thousands of adolescent girls and young women.
Today, in a landmark move towards HIV prevention, WHO recommends twice-yearly injectable lenacapavir as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to protect people at risk of HIV.

It's jazz, funk, and resistance. It's the story of Nigeria.
Jad is a master podcaster (creator of Radiolab), and I am hooked.
