very strange reading americans tweet how iranian women can’t go to school and need to be liberated. iran has 98.9% female literacy. 70% of STEM grads are women, highest in the world. oh, and without student debt. classic weaponizing feminism to justify bombs.

Fully agree. The exclusion of boys from receiving #HPV #vaccines is self-defeating. Young men have more sexual partners than young women and therefore transmission will continue among unvaccinated people. Over time less suffering and less public health pressures and costs.

Brad Lander is what we call a real mensch. He could’ve punched left and portrayed Zohran as an antisemite. Many others would have. He didn’t. Instead, he stood side by side with Zohran and never took the bait. I’m a huge fan.

In the streets of my city—now reduced to ruins—I walk in silence, filled with longing and pain, trying to recall the features that bombs have erased. I whisper to myself: wasn’t there a school here? A restaurant? A flower vendor? The man who sold coffee? Here stood the vibrant

I'm just thinking...the public must interrogate DP & sister in law angle. But the more interesting one, I think, is Sbu Shabalala and his fiancée - the DP's sister in law. He had to step down as Adapt IT CEO, take a leave of absence after a violent, armed attack on his estranged

Why cant xenophobes understand that everyone has the right to healthcare? Blame austerity for collapsing healthcare. We need 150 000 doctors and 300 000 nurses to achieve OECD benchmarks. What logic is there in not hiring doctors? We can't run out of the currency that we issue.
