Per a source with knowledge, the entire #HHS Office of #InfectiousDisease & #HIV / #AIDS Policy, or #OIDP, was just fired.

"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.

This breaks my heart.

The Trump/Musk regime want to take us back to the days of HIV/AIDS "killing all the right people" with MAGA Republicans cheering on the virus.

Today in Labor History March 24, 1987: 250 ACT UP members protested at Wall Street to demand greater access to experimental AIDS drugs and for a coordinated national policy to fight the disease. Seventeen ACT UP members were arrested.

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
