When we fail to show that billionaires and big corporations are the ones promoting and benefitting from hustle culture, many men assume (incorrectly) that if they're struggling with loneliness/mental distress, it's because society is helping women at men's expense.

The nature of a cult is that it will turn you against your own family. Your loved ones will cheer as you are led off to the camps because hurting even you is what is necessary to bring on the glorious nation. apnews.com/article/trum...
Richest guy in the world telling us we can’t afford to have our government fund cancer research.
"Bloodbath" is an apt description. The number of deaths that will occur as a direct result of U.S. funding being axed is no different from indiscriminate bombing erasing entire populations during a war. It is tantamount to genocide. The U.S. was once the "good" guy.

How will cuts to USAID affect the world's poorest?
Insights from my research in Zambia

Surreal read of the day: a paper using USAID-funded and now terminated Demographic & Health Surveys to count the huge number of lives saved by the now frozen US PEPFAR program to fight HIV, co-authored by current US admin’s nominee to lead cuts in health research

An influential program that gave detailed public health information to about half of the world’s nations has folded as a result of the Trump administration’s freeze on foreign aid.

We are witnessing the wholesale destruction of our public health infrastructure and monitoring systems.
This administration is profoundly and deliberately anti-life.
BREAKING: A federal judge just blocked the Trump administration from canceling foreign aid contracts/awards that were in place prior to Trump's inauguration. t.co/2OBoBANkxW](s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...)
When health data go dark, we create dangerous blind spots. The USAID funding freeze has halted DHS Program work in many LMICs. Read our call to restore data access & continue DHS activities: shorturl.at/8U1LN @itmantwerp.bsky.social @srhgroup-itm.bsky.social @lenkabenova.bsky.social
Health workers, policymakers, students, educators, & researchers who use data, methods & findings from USAID-funded DHS Program published a preprint calling for restoration of access to data & continued operation of DHS Program website. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.... cc @stephanienolen.bsky.social
Not confirmed yet, but The DHS Program, which has operated for 40+ years collecting data in over 90+ countries and is the primary source of data for monitoring global health, is on the list of contracts to be cut. This is devastating on so many levels.
Once again, it was created by congress in 1961. Any decision to close it requires congress. This move is illegal.
When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

As a very proud former USAID staffer, I reject this filthy, false, insane statement.
This person’s powers must be immediately abrogated.
