We worked for months with USAID to build an $85,000,000 project to end TB in two regions of the Philippines. The project is funded by private money, the Philippine government, and matching USAID funds. It could provide a blueprint for eliminating TB worldwide--except it's...not happening.

Just released memorandum from OPM: Federal facilities will now have a bathroom ban for transgender people. It will go into effect on the 31st. It also has a slew of effects and puts into place the 1st anti-trans EO policies for every agency. This will have a ton of impacts very quickly.

Medical device exemptions in right to repair laws are common. Companies often argue that independent repair could lead to cybersecurity issues, but they don't provide examples of this happening. It's time to eliminate medical exemptions so hospitals can repair their own gear.

New: The manufacturer of a medical device that costs six figures has told hospitals that they will no longer be allowed to fix them. Hospitals must now sign repair contracts with the manufacturer if they want the device fixed. Repair monopoly in action: www.404media.co/medical-devi...

Trump could be charged with criminal obstruction of justice by the ICC, complicating most of his travel plans during the next 4 years. During his first presidency he imposed "sanctions" on ICC personnel and they turned a blind eye, this time around they won't.

Today in Milan, a student activist group hung a trash-filled effigy of Musk upside down on a gate outside of piazzale Loreto, where Mussolini's body was displayed in 1945. They left the message: "C'è sempre posto a piazzale Loreto, Elon" (There's always room in piazzale Loreto, Elon)

@404media.co an interesting confluence of Open Source vs Closed Source and 3DP that’s playing out in real time: also heard on Reddit the authentication protocol has been hacked. Might be worth a look, and I’d love to hear an analysis.

I’ve seen a HUGE uptick in scam texts since my recent AliExpress purchases, so here’s a PSA for the day: UPS/USPS/FEDEX doesn’t need you to click a link for customs, your zip Code, or any other “address information”: it’s always a scam. DO. NOT. CLICK.

An Alabama mom hit by the Bourbon Street attacker's truck then shot in the attack, who still has a bullet lodged in her foot, told a @nolanews.bsky.social reporter that the Amazon warehouse where she works denied her request for a leave of absence.

“What they kept saying to us is, and what they’re still saying today, is as faculty you need to use your influence to dissuade them from engaging in any disruptive activism,” Kevin Young said. “So that’s the way that they’re trying to utilize the faculty against the student organizers.”

This is an incredible testament to the loss of local news coverage. A congresswoman disappeared for six months and no one noticed.

if 90% of the population still got its news from 3 tv stations "the president elect got congress to cut child cancer research" would lead his political party into at least 8 years of darkness but unfortunately the internet has a few downsides

"expanded military presence across the de facto border" is a great example of mealy-mouthed @nytimes.com nonsense. It's an invasion and an occupation, and it's also blatantly illegal under international law.

Please listen if you’d like to know more about the danger the Rojava revolution is in. This aspect of the recent developments in Syria has been largely ignored in a lot of legacy media reporting.

Garbage police action in a garbage state run by garbage officials. I wish this was an aberration, but the system is operating as intended.

A Florida woman was charged Tuesday after police said she ended a call with BlueCross BlueShield with the words, “Delay, Deny, Depose. You people are next.” She was charged with threats to conduct a mass shooting or an act of terrorism, and her bond was set at $100,000. www.wfla.com/news/polk-co...

the clear sign that they just don’t see these kids as real people is the endless concern over hypotheticals and the indifference to the reality that actual children are more likely to kill themselves because of these bans

Kavanaugh also brings up "detransitioners," people who "regret" their decision to transition genders. Like Alito, he cites European countries that are "pulling back" from gender-affirming care for minors, saying it's a "yellow light" or "red light" for the court that Europe is "pumping the brakes."
