THIS IS HUGE! The FIRST 100% effective HIV PrEP drug, Lenacapavir, is APPROVED AND GOING GLOBAL. The makers are providing AFFORDABLE access to the drug in the United States AND beyond, signing ROYALTY-FREE licensing agreements with SIX generic manufacturers to produce AND supply it. 🧪🧵⬇️

A friend brought me a HUGE bag of Barbies from a yard sale a few weeks ago and I'm working on fixing their hair and dressing them up. Some I will donate to the women's shelter and some I will add to my collection and some I may try to sell some with handmade outfits...

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

The Trump administration halted funding for a national database that tracked domestic terrorism, hate crimes, and school shootings, as part of broad cuts to violence prevention programs. The move eliminated a critical resource designed to enhance public safety amid persistent and pressing threats.

The bigger question we should be asking is: Why are Trump officials using Signal for their communications instead of formal, traceable channels? The answer seems clear — to avoid transparency.

Congress was denied entry to both the U.S. Department of Education and the Treasury, where Musk staffers blocked the doors. Along with its appropriations responsibilities, Congress holds oversight authority over federal agencies. Blocking congressional access to these agencies is illegal.

Yet, you’re proposing $350 billion for immigrant detention facilities, deportation raids, and national security priorities, plus another $175 billion for Trump’s wall. Looks like we’re heading even deeper into debt. Care to explain?

Trump, Vance, and Musk are pushing to rehire a staffer who resigned after being called out for a social media account with a history of racist posts. “To err is human, to forgive divine,” Elon Musk said in defense of the move. No—it’s not err; it’s racism. No excuses.

The underground resistance in the federal system is warning people not to take the deals because Trump never pays off what he has promised and there has been no appropriation for those payouts.

USAID.gov is down. Why is this concerning? Trump has no legal authority to eliminate a congressionally funded independent agency. The work of USAID is vital, and if this can happen to them, it can happen to any of us.

At OPM, Musk’s staffers won’t leave—they work around the clock and have even installed sofa beds in the office. Our access to data systems has been restricted, raising serious concerns about cybersecurity and a complete lack of oversight. We are keeping our heads down and documenting everything.

It’s never been more important to make sure you are getting your information from people who know what they’re talking about. (“Often says things I think are smart and that I agree with” is not the same thing as that.) (Neither is “sounds certain.”)
