Gilead has announced that lenacapavir, the game-changing HIV prevention drug just approved by the FDA will cost $28,218 USD per person per year.

Researchers say a generic version could be made for just $25 per person a year.

Capitalism kills.

In Nassau County it’s a crime to wear a mask (including N95 or surgical mask)

The “medical exemption” is police discretion.

They get to decide who’s “sick enough” to wear a mask.

The police are NOT doctors.

Medical information should be private

Everyone needs the legal right to protect their health.

It’s also patently absurd that under this fascist regime, ICE agents hiding their identity with gaitors could arrest an immigrant & revoke their status for wearing an N95 mask.

It was never about health or crime.

It was about white supremacy and eugenics.

A few days ago I shared the story of Alma Bowman, a disabled woman from Macon Georgia who was a whistleblower against the atrocities committed in ICE detention facilities.

She’s currently being detained again, likely due to retaliation for speaking out.

I also spoke of Rodney Taylor, a double amputee who was taken by ICE two days before he was set to get new prosthetics. The medical neglect he’s enduring at the hands of ICE is unfathomable.

We must tell their stories.

Disabled people are at higher risk of dying in these awful facilities, and the conditions within the detention centres will also lead to more people becoming disabled.

No one deserves to be treated this way.

Let’s speak up. Say their names. Help get them released.

And remember, don’t shame disabled people who are unable to protest. For many of us it’s not safe and we lack the physical ability to be boots on the ground. We can still contribute in our own way, and every voice matters.

Me, 1996: No, "Goodtimes" is a hoax, an email can't run computer code or give you a virus

Me, 2000, miserable: Microsoft did something weird and now emails can give you a virus. Bubbleboy is real

Me, 2010: No, the "Enhance" bit from CSI is not real. There aren't algorithms that can add information to an image.

Me, 2025, miserable: Microsoft did something weird and now the "Enhance" button is real, but the details are fake. Law enforcement IS using it and innocent people will go to prison

At a Senate testimony today RFK Jr claimed that he is "100% committed to finding treatments for Long COVID."

Please do not fall for these lies. RFK Jr has cut funding to Long COVID research, disbanded Long COVID committees, and spread misinformation about COVID vaccines and treatments. He can not be trusted to meaningfully advance Long COVID treatments, and will only exploit vulnerable communities.

Healthcare workers berating patients into silence by saying we “need” them to provide necessary care is an example of how toxic the culture in medicine can be.

It showcases the imbalance of power perfectly, and how patients are expected to be good & compliant no matter what… and never dare to complain.

If we don’t complain & speak out… more patients are harmed. Silence is never the answer.

People in Gaza still need eSIMs!
