Yesterday, Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts.

Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressional mandated. They've saved millions of lives. 🧵

A lot of people are portraying USAID as some sort of bastion of looney DEI excesses. Let’s take a look at what the sudden arresting of their operation is doing to global health. Please read the thread (my thread, not Ryan James’):

to give people who don’t live in LA an idea of the scope of the devastation: i have yet to talk to one LA resident who doesn’t personally know not just one, but SEVERAL people who have lost everything. just unimaginable

@keencolo @FOXLA Anxiety is through the roof. I got both too.

Crazy how Millennials were the only ones to learn how to use computers and we apparently are also the only ones who learned to see through disinformation on those same exact computers.

Literally everyone else younger & older than us is like a native population with a new disease

Me: I’m pretty low maintenance.

Also me: Is this water filtered? Is this grass-fed meat? Are these pasture-raised eggs? Are these fruits and vegetables organic? Is this 100% cotton? Does this toothpaste have fluoride? Does this car seat have flame retardants? Do you know what’s in natural flavors?

Sobering reminder of how easily and quickly any of us can become climate refugees.

@Camboyano Congrats Aris!

There’s a 6 month waiting list to see a Urogynecologist/Female Pelvic Floor specialist because in the US we train one Urogynecologist per state per year.

But 44 million women will have a pelvic floor disorder (prolapse, incontinence) by 2050.

The math is not mathing 🧮

@michaelharriot Aaliyah. Remember it like it was yesterday.

The front page of tomorrow's @dailytarheel –

I shed many tears while typing up these heart-wrenching text messages sent and received by UNC students yesterday. Our campus was on lockdown for more than three hours.

Beyond proud of this cover and the team behind it.

.@triciacotham delivered to Republicans what the voters would not: a controlling supermajority. She did this due to overweening personal vanity, deceit, and money.

Cotham's switch was premeditated, planned and funded by Republican operatives.

Students should have simply created a shell company, applied for a PPP loan and paid off their student loans with it.

[Christina Farr @chrissyfarr]

This is a ridiculous headline and I cannot believe this stuff is still being pushed on moms. Women who can breastfeed for longer tend to have higher paid jobs and can also afford educational opportunities for their kids. https://t.co/0LpzIY3ZLx

"Unless better people get involved with politics, politics doesn't get any better."

N.C. Democratic Chair @abreezeclayton makes her case for young people who are skeptical of politics to get involved.

What gets me about this is that SB20 isn’t even remotely popular. Polling shows that the vast majority of NCians oppose it. The GOP is fighting the *public* like hell for a bill that will (a) harm NC women now and (b) hurt themselves at the polls in ‘24. Make it make sense y’all.
