I was not there, but I knew folks who were. One is still with us; the others, I think, all died long ago.

Time for a new generation of committed activists.

This week in 1988: 1,000+ ACT UP demonstrators shut down the FDA headquarters, demanding (and eventually winning) action on developing HIV/AIDS treatments. ACT UP's militant and creative actions always included powerful visual artwork, and paved the way for movements in the decades to come.
A photograph from the 1988 ACT UP demonstration outside the FDA. Many people are participating in a die-in on the front steps, holding mock tombstones with messages like "RIP - killed by the FDA" and "Dead from lack of drugs." A line of police officers (some with classic 80s mustaches) wearing riot helmets stands between them and the building; one cop wearing white gloves is walking through the demonstrators. Affixed to the 2nd story windows of the building is a series of posters and a large blank banner reading Silence = Death.

I haven't read the above yet: nearly all the fabric supply/ sewing equipment supply places are gone. I can sew with materials, but I'm looking at old sheets like they are a new bolt of cloth.

Because of Republicans’ massive health care cuts, millions of American families will see their premiums skyrocket. That could mean having to choose between paying for health care or electricity.

That's how dire our health care crisis is.

That's why Democrats are not giving up.
Democrats are not giving up.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

“With your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. “You can be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth...”

Since 1770, Americans have not been afraid to stand up for freedom. I won't be afraid to demonstrate peacefully, nonviolently (and, as to any correctly understood current law, legally) on Saturday 18 October 2025. Don't miss out on No Kings Day. #NoKingsMinnetonka

Well, it's goat-shooter Barbi!
She took time out from her flak-vest appearances watching children get ziptied in the streets to have a Bluesky backdrop as you walk into a cavity search & xray exam.
She's smiling at your discomfort. She take joy at other's pain, botox brows frozen in astonishment

The Trump administration has now reversed the layoffs of a lot of federal employees. At the CDC, officials said some staff were mistakenly terminated due to a procedural error.

Most of the stock market is floating on an air cushion of a.i. and data centers. It has no foundation. Pull the plug on the rare-earth minerals for all the tech....the whole thing deflates.

Is this the story about a bug exterminator whose spouse is addicted to one of the bug killers (chemicals) he uses? Never watched that, only heard radio reviews. Maybe some people like the acting? Real life has enough horror already.

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois.

We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.
Abbott activates emergency resources ahead of growing wildfire threat, flood risk in Texas
With expected growing wildfire danger across Texas and the potential for a flood risk this weekend, Gov. Greg Abbott is activating more state emergency response resources Friday.
