Today is World AIDS Day.

“An awareness day is not a strategy” is the US government's rationale for not publicly acknowledging World AIDS Day for the first time since the inaugural WAD in 1988.

Today is World AIDS Day. The White House ignored the AIDS crisis when it began because a Republican (Reagan) was president. The United States is no longer observing World AIDS Day because another Republican (Trump) is president. #Bigots

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.

What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Democrats need to stand for something principled and real, not just compromise and civility while fascists enact mass violence across the country. I've an essay out today that underlines yet another set of reasons why caving on the budget is disaster.

I think the primary reason SNAP is a voucher instead of cash is because it isn't universal. If we made it universal, I think the idea of converting it into a cash program would suddenly become very popular. This is why one possible strategy to winning UBI could be by first making SNAP universal.
Anyway, SNAP should be universal. Just like school lunches in NYC. Not everyone needs it to survive but everybody gets it, no means testing.

There should also be a lot fewer regulations on what you can buy with SNAP and discounts, not bans, on hot prepared foods.

Encircle ICE.
They can leave the circle but their victims stay with the people
NO VIOLENCE!
One circle and then another and another if necessary.
This is a police tactic that we need to be using against them. There are more of us than there are them.
Use our numbers against them!

The non-fascist states need to immediately band together and build a new CDC, hiring all those RFK Jr has fired and try to quickly reassemble the infrastructure he’s destroyed. I assure you we don’t want to live in a world without proper infectious disease tracking and prevention.

Democratic states need a defense pact to protect them from the fascist federal government. Lawsuits and press conferences are fine, but not enough. We need coordination of defensive action. I’ve an essay on this coming out next week. But we need it now.

Everything happening in the U.S. today, including deployment of military vs citizens protesting, hasn’t been spontaneous.

All was pre-planned by The Heritage Foundation years ago and written in Project 2025.

There’s also a secret Part 2 we’ve yet to see.
