I REMEMBER.
In 1981, nearly 100% of people with AIDS died, often rapidly.
I remember weeping.
I remember Ronald Reagan's refusal to say "AIDS".
I remember the brave patients, loving caregivers, and the defiant power of ACT-UP.
And finally the miracle of modern therapy.
Rise up for World AIDS day.

Commemorating #WorldAIDSday is an act of defiance against ideology driven policies that will end our progress to end the epidemic.

A plea.
Can we stop declaring this a “constitutional crisis?”
It’s bigger.
It’s a crisis about fundamental American ideals and structures.
“Constitutional crisis” makes it sound like an abstract lawyerly crisis

This is a coup. A completely unconstitutional takeover of central government institutions, resources, and functions. Unfolding at a dramatic pace. All based entirely on the regime's assertion of absolute power and impunity.
Musk and his allies are ransacking the federal treasury, gaining access to closely guarded payment systems that disburse trillions of dollars and hold massive amounts of incredibly sensitive information—including Social Security numbers. Just a terrifying development. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

If you are looking for the guardrails on MAGA extremism, it does not reside in government institutions or norms. Nor will you find any courage in the boardrooms of large corporations as they bow and scrape before Trump.

#MariannEdgarBudde is a hero. Due to anti-gay hate, Matthew Shepard's ashes sat uninterred for 20 yrs over fear of vandalism. In 2018, Rev Budde & Rev Robinson (the 1st openly gay man elected bishop in the Episcopal Church) interred Shepard, a young gay man killed in 1998, @ the Nat'l Cathedral.
'You Are Safe Now': Matthew Shepard Laid To Rest At National Cathedral
Twenty years ago, the brutal killing of a young gay man in Laramie, Wyo., drew national attention and led to an expansion of a federal hate-crimes law.
