Many have called Trump the worst president ever. However, under his 1st presidency, he did not come close to causing the amount of death that occurred under the leadership of Bush Jr., whose War on Terror brought him into the top 20 of most murderous regimes in the history of earth.

But Trump 2.0 is set to be far more deadly. His cuts to HIV program funding in Africa, alone, is predicted to result in over 500,000 deaths of children, along with 2.8 million orphaned when their parents die of AIDS.

CIDRAPUS cuts to HIV programs in Africa threaten to set progress back to 'dark ages,' experts say

Just heard Anthony Fauci give an interview (part of a book tour) at the Free Library. When the host (NPR's Dave Davies) was given a hand signal about minutes to go, I was really shocked! could have kept listening to his stories, observation, and deep humanity for another hour easily.

"Breath of life" - Erasure

The one that goes "Take me I'm yours, now I'm coming up for air".

Fourth single from their "Chorus" album, and I'm afraid the one that's left no impression on me.

Until researching, completely forgot that Andy Bell has been living with an AIDS diagnosis since 1998. Next week, BBC4 has a weekend for a #TOTP host who was diagnosed before these miracle drugs were developed.

Oh, evening all.

#Musk: "I’ve never done anything harmful, I’ve only done productive things."

He's now constantly complaining about the #Tesla boycotts, and that's because his fortune is mostly in this #stock.

People are free to #boycott your products if you perform public sieg heils, defund #Ebola prevention and #AIDS research, complain about social welfare while getting 10s of billions in subsidies, actively interfere in foreign elections, and support anti-democratic actions of the #Trump administration.

#idiot47 #rfkjr #republicans #gop #aids RFK and 47 think getting rid of poppers will solve AIDS. I guess they think life-saving HIV drugs are unnecessary. I feel like it’s 1985 all over again. Ron and Nancy must be looking up, smiling from their special circle of Hell. theguardian.com/global-develop

Forget #autopen: even President Fragile Ego Tinyhands knows that's bullshit. It's a distraction. This administration is:

➡️ Killing children and adults in the 100s of 1000s by terminating #USAID's work with #AIDS patients overseas

➡️ Turning its back on America's allies while cuddling up to #Russia, a throwback #fascist regime with expansionist ambitions and #nuclearweapons

➡️ Abandoning heroes who courageously worked with American troops in #afghanistan leaving them to die at the hands of the #Taliban

➡️ Stranding #refugees who'd already been promised a place in America after deep #security and #medical vetting, even pulling them off of planes as they headed to the US

➡️ Treating #veterans as disposable while destroying the administrative state (about 1/3 of whose employees are vets) that keeps us all safe
