A massive archive of civil rights history almost went into the shredder today.
Against major odds, I managed to preserve it from total erasure.

At the peak of the outbreak Sierra Leone was seeing 600 cases of mpox weekly. Over the last 8 months 200,000 vaccine doses have been delivered prioritizing the most at risk groups. Currently cases are down to 30 a week.

Sierra Leone’s mpox case-count is plummeting. Can the country get to zero new infections?
Ten months into a national public health emergency, and nearly six months into a vaccination campaign, Sierra Leone appears to be winning its fight against mpox.

Someone reskeets my Blackademics starter pack with a "Welcome to the resistance!" gif. When I replied below, the same person blocked me. I guess "the resistance" isn't prepared for gentle pushback or constructive criticism. Anyway...
Please don't do that. Reposting is most appreciated, but many of the scholars in the starter pack have extensive critiques of what you describe as "the resistance." We are all in agreement that 45/47 is terrible, but don't reduce our thinking to a slogan that obscures as much as it clarifies.
