I’m so inspired by these young people right here in Claremont and across the country who are coming together to stand up against Trump's authoritarianism. Together, we will continue to stand up for our rights, dignity, and safety. claremont-courier.com/schools/the-...
Her community rallied so fast and so diligently. This is a victory to uphold and celebrate. Reminds everyone that it's worth fighting back.

It's under the brand name 'Yeztugo,' and it has a 100% success rate in women and a 96% success rate in men even after a year - which means that it's far more forgiving of a weird schedule, and still highly effective if you delay your booster.
Just because good news is worth celebrating:
There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection.
HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.
No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
