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.

#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.

For the people who don't believe #HIV causes #AIDS, why don't they try to infect themselves? Get a needle bro. Cmon @adam.

Maybe they'll prove us all wrong. Maybe they'll discover a newfound respect for big pharma (and programs like #PEPFAR) and all their work on antiretroviral therapy medicines.

Mother JonesRFK Jr. has made false and dangerous claims about AIDS. That could become a global problem. Will the United States abandon lifesaving efforts to research and fight the virus?

@CaptMorgan @joenepraat @CaptMorgan Your Avatar, #PutinInDrag used to hang behind the bar at #RockBar under #183ChristopherSt. I even asked the guy who painted it if I could buy it. I used to live above #RockBar--with #WallyAndSqueeky--when I went to Grad School at Columbia. Wally and Squeeky ran the #MineShaft before NYC closed it down because of #AIDS #ThanksForTheMemories I even met #FreddieMercury at 183 youtu.be/HgzGwKwLmgM?feature=s
