If you want an example of just how out of control Elon Musk is. He just lent his voice to calls for the prosecution of a man that has served 5 presidents and who’s only crime was to provide responsible health safety advice to Americans.
Had Trump listened and acted, at least 300,000 More Americans would be sat around the dinner table this Christmas.
He’s and his familial had had to have close protection simply for telling the truth. Take a moment to think about that.

#introduction The mission of the #Auschwitz Memorial is to preserve the site and all remains of the German Nazi concentration & extermination camp.

We commemorate the victims & educate about this part of human #history.

Tragedy of Auschwitz shows where hatred, #antisemitism and contempt for a fellow man led people in the past. Yet, it is a place where we should reflect on our individual and collective #responsibility for the world we live in.

Support our mission online. Amplify our voice.

I don't care what you think of the man, but the idea that Elon Musk, thug and right wing oligarch can amp up hate directed towards one man is evil. It just is. 4/

Put that into the context of the racist, antisemitic, homophobic hate unleashed on Twitter over the past few months and you can see that Elon Musk loves this, this monetizing of hate, it arouses him, it gets him going. 5/

But we NEVER rained down threats on anyone. Now Elon Musk on the bird site is tweeting out "prosecute/Fauci." 2/

This is an 81 year old scientist and physician. He and his family have had death threats for close to three years and needed Secret Service protection. 3/

New paper from our group. Leah Roberts (not on mastodon) looked into bedaquiline (BDQ) resistance in Mtb in Johannesburg and Cape Town, and then more widely in S Africa. In brief, she found repeated evolution of resistance by disruption (FS, nonsense, IS-element!) of mmpR5

If you know my history, you know I grew up as part of ACT UP, the AIDS activist group in the 80s and 90s. I've protested every President, multiple drug companies, and federal officials. 1/

‘In Homer the horizon does not recede; it pitches forward, towards our world. A red spot is not the glint of a setting sun or an artistic flourish; it is the flash of a gun muzzle.’
