Trump Administration Will No Longer Commemorate World AIDS Day

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.

"Western civilization," the font, the 11 stars - 11 states in the confederacy, for the record.

Why is this never news? Why are we letting our government agencies do this sort of thing while the news agencies report on hallucinated trade deals and act like everything is normal

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.

And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

Their campaign against immigrants is now targeting the communities that first occupied this land, which shows how none of this makes any damn sense. This is shameful. All of it is shameful.

+1 these folks made my day.

Breaking: people with “struggle unless they are interested” disorder do well once they can work in an area that interests them

I have a 100lb dog and there is nothing more scary than having an off-leash dog running at him. If he freaks out, he can 100% knock me down and then whatever happens will be his fault.

This is incredibly moving and she makes so many connections here. One of the hardest to read is her desire to protect her mother from more trauma. What a heartbreak.

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

Step by step towards the Russian model of fascist failure.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Ugh, yeah it's sad. My dad is 82 now and has been retired for a long time, but he definitely had stories. He was a Watertown cop from the early 70's into the late 90s, nearly 30 years.

My dad's been here (from rural Alabama) since the 60s and he has very similar stories. Became a cop, but it was very hard for a Protestant "rebel" (they legit called him that) at the time in the evolved north.

6d Listen to this article Congregants of an east Charlotte church scattered into the woods Saturday when masked federal agents arrived and detained one of their members, according to witnesses. About 15 to 20 church members were doing yard work on the property off Albemarle Road while their children played games and their spouses cooked meals. Agents parked just outside a closed gate leading to the church parking lot and ran into the yard, said the pastor, who did not want to identify himself or his church.

The agents asked no questions and showed no identification before taking one man away, whose wife and child were inside at the time, the pastor said. They attempted to grab others, too. "Right now, everybody is scared. Everybody," he said. "One of these guys with immigration, he say he was going to arrest one of the other guys in the church. He pushed him." Inside the church, women and children sobbed as they wondered whether their loved ones had been taken. Some yard workers fled into the surrounding woods when officials arrived, including 15-year-old Miguel Vazquez.

Here’s a story for every national news outlet:

In N.C., churchgoers are literally running into the woods as federal agents descend on the property.

“Inside the church, women and children sobbed as they wondered whether their loved ones had been taken.”

When I've visited Ireland you can order a "glass" of any beer and that means a half pint. It's the best.

Yes, unfortunately I assume the same.

This article is from 2020--is this still happening?! Horrifying.

this is disgusting

It's driving me batty that nobody except Heather Cox Richardson, the Washington Monthly, and myself is covering Trump's race to sell off (for likely demolition) "the Sistine Chapel of the New Deal," w/ murals by Ben Shahn, Philip Guston, etc. I've furnish links below to help reporters get started.

Minoru Yasui fought the internment of Japanese Americans all the way to the Supreme Court, then spent his life working on community relations.

We believe in the power of community development and organizers, like Minoru.

Rest in peace, Minoru.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Please help me amplify this story. A 13 year old child abducted and forced to self deport is horrific and I fear not enough people know this is happening.

The Shutdown of U.S.A.I.D. Has Already Killed Hundreds of Thousands The short documentary “Rovina’s Choice” tells the story of what goes when aid goes.

Changing the name of the Department of Defense will cost billions.We could build units for all unhoused veterans. Or give service members a pay raise so 35K active duty members wouldn’t have to rely on food stamps. Or… or… or…

This is dark. The far-right whitewashing of history and indoctrination of kids is well underway.

The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed.

Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.

You should be very concerned.

it’s basically trite to note at this point but if this were any other president, and certainly a democrat, spending a ton of money to gild the white house would be a legit scandal

So disappointing, but I suppose not surprising
