Read every word. All 38 thread posts. Thank you, @gregggonsalves.bsky.social. History eventually finds the truth. Immerwahr will end up on its wrong side.
Gregg Gonsalves@gregggonsalves.bsky.social · last yr.I subscribe to the @newyorker.com, I was part of ACT UP, I knew Larry Kramer well and know Tony Fauci too. Daniel Immerwahr's piece on RFKJr, features this and other passages that need a reponse. 1/
They decapitated NIAID yesterday. Our best-in-world scientific establishment is in shambles. Jeanne Marrazzo and Cliff Lane -- please know that there's a huge community that feels forever in your debt.

I never dreamed it would get this bad, this fast. Trump has started the clock on murdering 26 million people currently living with HIV.

PEPFAR’s computer systems also are being taken offline, a sign that the program may not return, as Republican critics had hoped.

This man knows his 🏳️🌈 history. Good 🧵
Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.social · 2y agoI know analogies between the gay-rights struggle and the trans struggle are inexact, but it's worth holding onto the fact that in the years right after Stonewall, anti-gay backlash was intense and virulent, and gay people suffered a number of legislative defeats and public-opinion setbacks. >
We can only hope/pray that this gets blocked in the courts.
Donald Trump ‘to kick transgender troops out of US military’
An executive order could be signed as early as Donald Trump’s first day back in the White House, which would force 15,000 people out of their posts

it's clear now that republican trolls are squatting here. i know it's tempting to engage, but i cannot stress enough that blocking is the only way to preserve this community. block and move on. block and move on. block and move on.
According to the NYT my old friend Michael Blake @blakefornyc.bsky.social is joining the crowded field running against Mayor Eric Adams. We were resident fellows at Harvard's Institute of Politics in the fall of 2016. Here we are during a fellows' reunion in 2017 outside the Iowa State Capitol.

Somerville rightly slams an anti-trans LGB group.
Rob@glastronomer.bsky.social · 2y agoJimmy Somerville, magnificently telling the LGB Alliance to get it up em.
What a sycophant and know-nothing. I fear for and am depressed for colleagues at the @latimes.com. #PatSoon-Shiong is a disgrace and has embarassed himself with this tweet.
Yeah, @michaelmina.bsky.social’s quotes surprised me too, and not in a good way. After Deborah Birx’s comments on Face the Nation last weekend, it’s been a rough week for normalizing crazy.
Kathleen Bachynski@bachynski.bsky.social · 2y agoDr. Mina seems…unduly optimistic to me. “We are playing with fire with the shake-ups and choices, but at this point change is needed,” said Dr. Michael Mina… He said the agencies were often too slow... “At least there’s a better chance of positive change compared to complacency and more of the same”
I can’t tell you how different it is on X now after so many people have left. I have always followed mostly right-wing accounts because I cover them, and they are running out of people to pick fights with. So they’re just mostly fighting with each other.
Post you from a different era. Me during my junior year abroad, London School of Economics, 1981/82.
Jesus, Deb. Deborah Birx, obviously lobbying for a job in the Trump administration, calls RFK, Jr. a "very smart man."

Be careful, Bob. You’re going to lose your core supporters, lab leakers like Nate Silver, Zeynep, and millions of MAGA cultists. They are deeply wedded to blaming a Chinese lab.

The thing about Twitter versus Bluesky is that the right needs liberals on Twitter to make it feel worthwhile, whereas the left doesn’t need conservatives on Bluesky to make it feel worthwhile.
We won’t be able to empty Elon’s sandbox — X/Twitter — until powerful Dems like the Obamas grow a pair and walk away from it like the rest of us. Come on, Barack, tap your inner activist.
@ezrakleinbot.bsky.social has a piece in the @nytimes.com today that takes complicated public health issues and runs them through the grinder of his brand of realpolitik. The topic? The support of Colorado's Jared Polis for RFK Jr. 1/
FYI. RFK Jr. has blamed AIDS not on HIV but on a "gay lifestyle" and poppers (classic homophobic AIDS denialism), and Tony Fauci. In his book, and on Rogan’s podcast, he praised Peter Duesberg, the founder of AIDS Denialism.
Joe Rogan and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Are AIDS Denialists
The anti-vax candidate and the endlessly gullible podcast host find common ground: On batshit HIV misinformation. Happy Pride.

EcoHealth Alliance: Covid's anti-science mob extracting its pound of flesh
It scares me — and should scare you — that conspiracy theorists are winning the fight to debar EcoHealth Alliance. Thaqt would make the U.S. less prepared for the next pandemic.
