Oh FOR FUCK’S SAKE!

Ivermectin doesn’t do shit for hantavirus. I know. I treated multiple cases in residency. Can we stop with the antihelminthic for viruses shit already?!? It was an OK theory, but it hasn’t panned out, and dumb motherfuckers who just can’t seem to live their lives without pissing away their savings on some grifter’s horseshit need to find a better snake oil. Jesus. Fuck.

This is the ICE-masked thug that shot and murdered the woman in Minnesota. Make his face known, and let's get some facial recognition users to make his name known. Trump and DHS are going to try to cover it up.

“Through all those years—under military rule and later through narrowing civic space—the VOA Amharic Service remained consistent in one essential duty: reporting the what, when, where, who, and why of Ethiopia’s political and social life with care and balance.” https://open.substack.com/pub/eliaswondimu/p/the-unspoken-exit?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web

The Unspoken Exit

A proper goodbye to the voices of the VOA. From the Derg era to today’s silence, a look at the "human displacement" caused when a global classroom goes quiet.
