Every year since 1988, the United States has recognized World AIDS Day — until now.

Why not? Maybe because the Trump administration doesn’t want to acknowledge that its foreign aid cuts led to nearly 150,000 deaths from AIDS, according to Boston University researchers.

Shameful.

This is who she was.
Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best.

Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...
Carrie Fisher was the blueprint.
Protect your people. Call out the predators.

We've got more for you on Labor Day. More than 82 percent of civilian federal workers have had their right to collectively bargain stripped in the largest act of union busting in US history. Unions are a voice from below, and their autonomy poses a threat to autocrats, Harold Meyerson writes:
Trump Celebrates Labor Day as the Most Anti-Union President Ever
His unbound union busting is one front of his war on democracy.

We did not put John Bolton’s name in the headline for a reason. It’s not about him, per se; it’s about the numerous people who Trump wants the government to destroy because they hurt Trump’s feelings

Hegseth authorized the National Guard in DC to carry weapons.

This is another escalation that puts DC communities in even more danger.

We should not have armed soldiers patrolling the streets of any U.S. city, let alone our nation’s capital.

We the people demand federal forces out NOW. #FreeDC

Donald Trump is going to try to rig the outcome of the 2026 election because he is an authoritarian and that is what authoritarians do. I don't know if I should say it louder or softer, but people need to pay attention and take action. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2bc...

"One of the reasons the epidemic of violence against women is so unacknowledged is because cases like these are talked about individually, and often treated as though they are shocking aberrations rather than part of a pervasive pattern that operates at all levels of society."

The DOJ’s decision to ask that the officer found guilty of violating the civil rights of Breonna Taylor in 2020 be sentenced to 1 day in jail is one more step by this government towards injustice, and a betrayal of a jury’s verdict which held the officer responsible for attempted murder.
