A few personal notes:
I was just at a NASA team meeting for 3 days in DC. The scientific findings are so fucked up. Experts on tropical rainforests told me privately that they think the Amazon has already passed its tipping point. Let that sink in. The world needs to know

I see my Twitter is in freakout mode over climate chaos. 45 C temps in Catalonia. 34 C wet bulb hell in coastal Iran. The North Atlantic sea surface temp anomaly looks like it's about to enter the stratosphere.

When you both sides everything and don't understand the nuance between the two things you're comparing, especially between folks asking for better treatment from the government vs literal traitors, you'll find that you're the biased fool you've been trying to avoid.
BREAKING: A new report shows that the end may be in sight for AIDS, the world’s deadliest pandemic.
The Joint United Nations Program on HIV and AIDS says that Botswana, Eswatini, Rwanda, Tanzania and Zimbabwe have all reached “95-95-95” targets, meaning 95% of the people who are living with HIV know their status, 95% of those people are on lifesaving antiretroviral treatment, and 95% of people in treatment are virally suppressed.
Across eastern and southern Africa, new HIV infections have been reduced by 57% since 2010. Also since 2010, the percentage of pregnant and breastfeeding women living with HIV who have access to antiretroviral treatment has nearly doubled, and new infections among children have more than halved.
There’s more work to be done, but the UN said the world could end AIDS by 2030 with sufficient investment from global leaders.
