Bondi declares war on the courts: "What has happened to our judiciary is beyond me ... they are deranged ... we are sending a very strong message today ... we will come after you and we will prosecute you. We will find you."

Arresting judges. Disappearing people. Punishing law firms. The Supreme needs to come down on him like a ton of judicial bricks now, not later, when it could be too late. Authoritarians get more dangerous the longer they are accommodated.

At some point the press needs to stop adopting right-wing framing that this is a "DEI purge" and call it what it is — white supremacist violence against our collective past.

In 5th grade a woman diagnosed with AIDS came & talked to us about how she was going to be dead within five years. By 10th grade, they’d invented the drugs that would keep her alive until today & she came back & cried as she told us how she didn’t think she’d see her children grow up, but she would
It’s difficult to express how much progress has been made. When I was a kid, AIDS was a death sentence. When I was a teenager doing peer sex ed for the local AIDS Project, we had antiretrovirals, which turned HIV into a chronic condition, but you still had to wait *six months* post exposure to test
Freddy Mercury died of AIDS 33 years ago today. With modern medical technology, he likely would have lived. Never forget how much progress against major infectious disease has been made in a short time. We are at risk now of rolling back much of that progress.
