Due to technical difficulties, the YouTube Livestream for saving HIV housing funding is cancelled and will be rescheduled for this week, latest next week.
The Carroll County, MD School Board just voted to ban LGBTQ pride flags from school property. This is yet another attack on LGBTQ+ students – this time right here in Maryland. We will fight back.
🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
In an assault on the 1st amendment, Pride flags are now banned in Carroll County Schools. Instead of promoting equal access to LGBT students, The Board of Education has enabled fear and ignorance; the precise opposite of the purpose of school. Reverse this disgraceful policy.
Thank you to @SenatorHashmi, Virginia HBE Director Keven Patchett, @FreddyMejiaVA of @TCIFiscal, Majesta-Doré Legnini of @LegalAidJustice & local restaurant owner Lester Johnson for encouraging Virginians to sign up for health insurance at https://t.co/6uzLFOkizG by Jan. 22!
#1/2 It was an honor to speak at Rep Don Beyer's press conference today in opposition to #RFKJr 's nomination. I wholeheartedly believe that he is incapable and wholly unqualified to serve the over 1.2 million people with #HIV (#PWHIV) in our country...
Thank you to @RepDonBeyer and health care advocates for speaking out today on the existential threat that RFK Jr. will pose to our health care if he is confirmed to lead HHS. We must stop this nomination! You can watch the full press event here➡️ https://t.co/nqvKkI7Kpv
#2/2 I'm alive because of the meds research gave us. The same research that RFK wants to "pause" for 8 yrs. Plus over 500k PWHIV rely on the Ryan White Care Act to subsidize their care. If he thinks HIV doesnt cause AIDS, he can't safeguard our healthcare or wellbeing. #RFKJr
Uruguay vs. Neighbors:
- More expensive than Argentina
- Safer than Brazil
- Less bureaucratic than Chile
The Goldilocks of South America?
Definitely for you to consider!
9. Uruguay's Secret Weapon: Stability
In a region known for volatility, Uruguay stands out:
- No coup attempts since 1972
- Consistent economic policies
- Strong respect for rule of law
This stability is magnetic for long-term investors and nomads alike.
7. Quality of Life:
- Highest quality of life in South America (Mercer)
- Universal healthcare system
- Rich culture: Tango, football, asados
Some call Uruguay boring…no doubt that it has a relaxed lifestyle.
But the carnivals at least look incredible!
5. Progressive Policies:
- Same-sex marriage legal since 2013
- Marijuana legalized in 2013
- Strong commitment to freedom of expression, including freedom of the press, guaranteed by the Constitution
Their commitment to civil liberties is impressive and underrated.
2. Safety First:
- Lowest crime rate in South America
- Political stability since 1985
- Ranked 'full democracy' by The Economist
You can walk Montevideo's streets at 3 AM without worry.
Try that in other capitals…
This tiny country is beating the US at its own game:
- Higher press freedom ranking
- Better income equality
- Ranked 'full democracy' by The Economist (US is 'flawed')
Super impressive. And yet still very unknown.
Here are 11 reasons why you should take notice:
Yes thank you @0x_ale ! Americans have such a hard time believing that Uruguay is better just cause their military is negligible. As if that's the most important thing! Or that other countries do democracy better. So proud of my family. ¡Viva la Celeste! #Uruguay 🇺🇾 💙💛🤍 ✊🏆🌟
This is Uruguay:
- 0% tax on foreign income for 11 years
- Permanent residency in just 2 years
- Less corrupt than the US
It is the safest country in South America.
Here are 11 reasons why the “Switzerland of South America” is a hidden gem:

Rest in power. December 1st 1976 - October 7th, 1998
@elonmusk@lindayaX How is any form of boycotting illegal? Why should we protect X when there are many social media platforms to choose from? It's our freedom to boycott anyone whenever. And Elon Musk is an a**hole and a shitty father who disrespects his own children and their freedoms
@flautista21@liam43102 @mattspx But many people have complicated situations that we don't know about which makes it difficult to receive effective treatment and care. And just to be clear, one's own healthcare is a very personal matter (I don't want to miscommunicate my point to readers).
