But despite how Section 9 of the 1996 SA Constituion protects LGBT ppl (the first constitution to do so), as one trans woman put it, “We have rights for trans women only on paper.”

So much trans care was backed by CDC & PEPFAR money that it’s effectively ended theintercept.com/2026/10/31/t...

They should find a way to give Jeffrey Epstein credit for PEPFAR. Then any time you condemn him for his crimes against at least dozens of women, they can say he was still good because he saved millions of lives.

Musk and Trump are already responsible for hundreds of thousands of not millions of deaths because of the gutting of USAid and PEPFAR.
South Africa has resources to manage this compared to many sub Saharan nations that do not.
This is arms length genocide.

I personally don't think the US was any worse than most nations - just more influential and impactful.

The US saved tens of millions of lives under PEPFAR program alone.

*I'm not American and tend to view it under the Trump administration as an abomination.

We can't be a part of this anymore. How the hell do we apologize to the world for the actions our government has taken? These were not ho, hum mistakes easily rectified.I want my nation to be one known for having a heart, empathy. PEPFAR, USAID no strings just help and assistance.Still have defense.

There's some stiff competition, but it's high on the list. Ending PEPFAR and bombing boats on the seas and not ensuring that targets in Iran aren't schools are up there, too.

Well w bush’s pepfar. Policy was pretty solid and helped out a lot
That is the only thing I will credit him with and ftr it was also fairly conservative- it was against sex work

I miss the courtesy of the pretense. It gave us PEPFAR and H1Bs and people you could at least engage in dialogue with. Now it's just a fucking Klan rally that needs to be destroyed root and branch.

Unfortunately, it’s a rapid race to the bottom. Hegseth is responsible for tens of thousands of deaths in launching the Iranian war despite the lack of a plan to deal with Iranian countermeasures. Rubio’s axing of USAID & PEPFAR may have killed even more.

RFK Jr., Rubio and Hegseth are each awful.

He's pro-union, anti-tariff, does not want criminal charges for discussing LGBTQ+ issues in schools, supports Title IX, would not vote for a Republican Senate Majority Leader, would not vote to kill PEPFAR, supports Medicaid and Medicare, supports SNAP, is not running on a trade war with China, does

The same guy who put a 28yr-old in charge of feeding USAID into the woodchipper, terminating 94% of staff, freezing billions in aid for global HIV/AIDS (PEPFAR), malaria, and maternal care programs, threatening millions of vulnerable people with massive surges in preventable deaths through 2030.

ONLY thing good that came from a Bush is PEPFAR. W should have did what Carter did, remain in public life, no matter what, and see that program through to the end

Carter defeated a worm (15 cases '24, 10 in 25) from 1 million 1990

Bush should be out there to get PEPFAR over the line. not hiding

And then yes, Dems had a 1992 national plan per demand, and now there are antiviral cocktails and PrEP and even some prototype vaccines, some of which rolled out to certain places under a Bush-branded PEPFAR, so incrementalism has saved tremendous numbers of lives in the intervening quarter century

The Bright Side:
Despite macro funding disruptions from US PEPFAR cuts and pandemic challenges, targeted prevention efforts among younger demographics are working, demonstrating that focused intervention can curb transmission.

Ground truth confirms the study uses robust 20-year cohort data from uMkhanyakude. COVID disruptions and PEPFAR aid cuts created real headwinds, but youth declines offer a silver lining needing state focus.
Resulting Judgement: (+0.82, +0.78) — Greater Good Potential

With their democratic opponents AND STILL BE REPUBLICANS? there is a distinct possibility that a republican might have an idea and I can agree with them and not throw my values down the toilet or set them on fire and still be a democrat.
One example would be PEPFAR George W bush started this.
