GREAT NEWS !! Thanks to SCIENCE — specifically, Dr. Fauci — a Minnesota summer camp for kids with HIV will not reopen in 2027… because there aren’t any HIV infected kids to attend anymore! More of the story in the Alt-Text:
Thanks to rock-bottom rates of HIV infection among babies in the state, One Heartland, one of the nation's largest summer campgrounds for HIV-positive kids, is no longer needed.

Perinatal transmission of HIV, when children contract the virus while in the womb or breastfeeding, has fallen to below 1% in HIV-positive mothers in the United States thanks to antiretroviral medications.
Globally, new HIV infections among children up to age 14 have declined by 38% since 2015.

And this is all thanks to Dr. Fauci!

Appointed NIAID director in 1984, Fauci oversaw large-scale clinical trials networks that helped transform HIV from a fatal diagnosis into a manageable chronic condition

The ICE raids and cruelty we are seeing inflicted on children are unacceptable.

The federal government has stripped legal representation from hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied children. Many will soon face an impossible choice: navigate our immigration system alone or risk detention and deportation.

Our city is stepping up. We've invested $16.9 million in immigration legal services for unaccompanied children, with another $32 million in this year's immigration legal services budget, including rapid-response legal advice and representation for people in detention.

If you need immigration legal support, we're here to help. Our free, confidential Immigration Legal Support Hotline is available in your preferred language, regardless of immigration status.

There's so much psychotic shit in this story about Max Miller, but this part of his origin story might be the weirdest
Trump quickly came to see Miller almost as a surrogate son, in large part due to his innate talent for knowing just what nostalgic show tune at what precise moment—“Memory” from Cats, for example—would succeed at talking Trump off the ledge of an incipient meltdown. In those days, senior White House staffers would summon Trump’s “Music Man” when the president became grouchy, “so [Miller] could check on the order of the songs.”

Man, this is such sad news. When I saw this, I thought about @gonebabygone.bsky.social's great piece for @lukeoneil47.bsky.social at Hell World, where Zach wrote about the type of masculinity he demonstrated in that moment. "The noblest calling he could think of was sacrifice, not violence."
Screenshot of text that reads:

"It also made me think of two men who did something in another way, a quieter way distinct from the way men are encouraged to do something, but in a way that mattered more than what Robinson ever will. Not a lot of people outside of Youman Wilder’s life know his name, probably. I had to look it up to write this after seeing headlines about his story. Wilder’s been coaching Little League for 21 years – nearly as long as Tyler Robinson has been alive – and that’s what he did when ICE agents rolled into Harlem this summer. Wilder did something, but he didn’t use his fists or a gun or any sort of offensive weapon. As Wilder told it in an interview with MSNBC’s Nicole Wallace, he heard agents asking the kids about their countries of origin, and those of their parents.

“I just stepped in and said this is very inappropriate to ask these kids anything ... I’m just going to have them implement their Fifth Amendment right, and not say anything to you,” Wilder said. In a separate interview, Wilder said he thought, in regards to his players “I'm willing to die to make sure you get home.” The phrasing is telling – Wilder wasn’t thinking about having to kill, he was thinking about having to die. The noblest calling he could think of was sacrifice, not violence."
