Viva Cuba! 🎉 Viva Fidel! 💙 🚣🚣🏥💊 Cuba first developed and used interferons to combat a deadly dengue epidemic in 1981, which kickstarted the island’s now world-leading biotech industry. Driven by public-health demand instead of profit, it has been characterized by its fast track from research and innovation to clinical trials and application, even despite the US economic blockade, which obstructed access to technologies, equipment, materials, finance, and even knowledge exchange. In March 1981, 6 Cubans spent 12 days in Finland with the Finnish doctor Kari Cantell, who in the 1970s had isolated interferon from human cells, and had shared the breakthrough with the world by declining to patent the procedure. The Cubans learned to produce large quantities of interferons. Within 45 days of returning to the island, they had produced the first Cuban batch of interferons, the quality of which was confirmed by Cantell's laboratory. The wholesale cost of Interferon Alfa-2b in the developing world is between $500-$4,800 USD for a 12-week supply; in comparison, in the US the same quantity costs Americans around $8,400 USD; meanwhile in the UK, 12 weeks costs the NHS about £1,595 GBP (around $1,855 USD). #coronavirus #covid-19 #cuba #viraloutbreak #interferon #medicareforall #pandemic #healthcare #singlepayer #socialism #solidarity https://www.instagram.com/p/B94qoyzBYoM/?igshid=178rk6una9h4s

a teenage chicago election volunteer documents the many egregious screw-ups at her poll location during tuesday's IL primary election, in which the DNC forced thousands of voters to ignore the statewide crowd ban and put public health in jeopardy by standing in line for hours so they can jab their fingers all over the same germ-infested touchscreen displays in the middle of a growing national pandemic. tom perez wants you to hurry the fuck up and lock in this belligerent, hair-sniffing, brain-melting yammering dotard before the public can realize they've been duped by the corporate media into believing biden was the "electable" candidate! https://www.instagram.com/p/B94XXtynkMU/?igshid=cpahj4jgflfa

apparently this district wasn't electing a national convention delegate; instead, they could vote for a biden delegate — state senator hendon strongly encourages you to punch #62 for melissa conyers-ervin to be your biden delegate for the 2020 democratic national convention. https://www.instagram.com/p/B94S3zvn1fk/?igshid=3nf8dng6443s

pro tip: never be bothered by another pesky password prompt altogether when sudo'ing by running "sudo visudo" (this opens /etc/sudoers.tmp in your default text editor) then add the following line and save file: "yourusername ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL" https://www.instagram.com/p/B90rp4NhQCh/?igshid=ol05xrx2d0qn

my old makeshift nano sim card finally decided to split. aww, look at the teeny tiny computer! ❤ (fun fact: it has a processor, memory, operating system, and security features including encryption, so it really is a fully functioning computer. :D)

of course someone managed to take a screenshot before it was deleted :D

eternal machinery like the grinding of stars.

aww thanks for the free pocket constitution, ACLU. ❤ maybe you should also send copies to the president and his cabinet appointees.
