These are good moments to remember that the CEOs of all the biggest companies in America are happy to go to White House dinners and slap this guy’s back. They do not care about this. Remember this, years from now, when they want you to forget.

For the first time since 1988 the U.S. government is not officially commemorating World AIDS Day. So, I'm posting a few photos from a 2015 exhibition at the Tacoma Art Museum. Hard to pick just one. Here is an Altar Piece by Keith Haring, his last before his death. #WorldAIDSDay

She knew abortion was illegal in Texas, but thought there was an exception for women like her, whose health was at risk. Doctors told her there was no emergency.
