HIV is no longer exceptional. So why is it still exceptional in law? That’s today’s lead story in #HIVJustice News. Also this week: the latest #HIVcriminalisation news & cases + related developments on civic space, drug policy, LGBTIQ+ rights, and HIV travel & migration. mailchi.mp/hivjustice.n...

I’m feeling pretty good today, got my doctor-recommended 7 hours of blinking last night

Free beers for life to the first reporter who shares this fun fact with trump, ON CAMERA, the next time he brags about his cognitive test🍻

This is what Marco Rubio decided to do with his life: "AIDS Creeps Back in Parts of Zambia, a Year After U.S. Cuts to HIV Assistance: A once-robust HIV treatment and prevention system, credited with saving hundreds of thousands of lives, has begun to crumble..." www.nytimes.com/2026/04/25/h...

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

HEADLINE OF THE DAY: 😆 #BuhBYE

Call me old fashioned but when someone tweets they’ve won the war it’s kinda rude for the other side to keep fighting.

A draft dodger calling allies cowards is maximum USA.

A lone bird near the pier, stripped down to shape and posture against a simple background. Coastal stillness, held in place for a moment. If scenes like this slow you down, sharing it helps it travel. #Photography #ScottKissPhoto

Meteorologists cost less than search and rescue teams. Climate science costs less than the deployment of helicopters, boats, and military at every disaster. Sirens cost less than coffins. Texas - and the rest of the world - would do well to remember that. open.substack.com/pub/rebekahj...

When in Mexico for a wedding with a bunch of friends from work, we stayed up one night drinking tequila and smoking the local product, while we watched a magnificent lightening storm just off the coast. We had a great view from the hotel balcony. It was awesome!

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Your Mother’s Day PSA

Yesterday, Robert Prevost asked everyone to start calling him by a different name. And they did. No outrage or shaming over this request. See how easy it is to honor other people's benign wishes?

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

From the Tucson AZ Handsoff rally today. Brilliant!

Transgender and other gender-diverse people are frequently invisibilised and left behind in the #HIV response HIV criminalisation and other punitive measures increase the stigma, invisibility and vulnerability of transgender and gender-diverse people. ➡️ academy.hivjustice.net/learning/hiv...

Do you know what it costs a bank when an account is overdrawn? Less than $5. That's why the Biden admin capped overdraft fees at $5. Trump et al. just raised the limit to $35, meaning banks PROFIT $30 off of you when you have no money. It's a poor tax & it's immoral.

Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed. He needs to resign in disgrace immediately.

HIV criminalisation is the unjust application of criminal law to people living with HIV based solely on their HIV status. It's a harmful practice that perpetuates stigma and discrimination. Let's build a world where people with HIV can live in dignity and without fear. 👉 https://buff.ly/4hkqEim

Markwayne Mullin rips the white sheet off the truth as he argues that Hegseth’s lack of qualifications don’t matter because he will be surrounded by capable people. When the nominee is Black or a woman, no amount of education or personnel support is sufficient to prevent the right’s “DEI hire” slur.

Pete Hegseth REPEATEDLY deflected questions today by saying "I'm not going to answer a hypothetical." But, as the Secretary of Defense, isn't that his FUCKING job, to answer hypotheticals? We're not at war, but what happens if we go to war with "__?" How many hypothetical "war makers" do you need?

Oh this is wicked, I like it very much.

BREAKING: A petition has been submitted to the Polish parliament to ban confession in any religion for people under 18. It states that confession is a form of psychological abuse. It was pointed out that an adult stranger has no right to interrogate a child alone without the supervision of guardians

I love how Denmark isn’t taking any shit from Donald Trump. 🇩🇰 🤣

The Musk-Johnson government shutdown bill has been soundly defeated. MAGA extremists in the House GOP are not serious about helping working class Americans. They are simply doing the bidding of their wealthy donors and puppeteers. Unacceptable.

Just thinking about all those people who sent Trump all their hard earned money, bought his shitty hats, sneakers, NFTs, Bibles, gold coins...only to have him turn around and sell the Presidency to a bigger douche. Sad.

Forever guilty on all counts.

It's not a cabinet. It's a sex pest sanctuary.
