HIV and AIDS were not ignored by the people most affected. In fact, here and abroad, individuals and communities ravaged by HIV and AIDS, scientists, public health professionals, advocates, and individuals (many of whom were scientists and experts) came together to hold their govts accountable.

Their position, much like with COVID infections and Long COVID, seems to be if you don’t talk about it and you don’t measure it, it doesn’t really exist.

As human beings, we must fight back on this ignorance and nihilistic approach to human life.

Today, the Trump regime in its war on science and humanity is pretending HIV and AIDS do not exist, or that the people affected are not worth their time. They are refusing to acknowledge World AIDS Day. They’ve reached all the way back to the 1980s Regan playbook to deny a pandemic exists.

Today is World AIDS Day. More than 44 million people have died of AIDS—brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, aunts, uncles, cousins, from infancy to their 80s. HIV infections, which can lead to AIDS, are highly preventable *where there is political will, funding and evidence-based programs.*

Hegseth is a war criminal and I think it doesn’t get the attention it deserves because he’s also stupid and it’s hard to reconcile the gravity of his crimes with his clownish persona www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.

If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.
Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

No idea why an Afghan refugee shot National Guard soldiers within walking distance of the White House, but this new USCIS directive was revealed on Monday. Worth noting.
The folks at @afghanevac.bsky.social have in hand a new USCIS directive which largely targets Afghan refugees who fled the Taliban in the wake of the U.S. withdrawal in 2021.

In case you needed a reminder that the most loathsome people in the world work for DHS.

NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."

BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

Trump wrongly indicted me. I’ll rightly impeach him.

Impeachment isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent — but is it working?
