If you want a follow back, be one of those things.

People's actions this World AIDS Day are not lessened because President Donald Trump says the government doesn’t commemorate the day any longer.
If anything, communities are further animated because of his administration’s failure to act.

This has happened a few times before and if I remember correctly it's generally something he does just before really bad news comes out.

We're going to war aren't we?
Trump has posted to Truth Social at least 75 times and counting in the past hour.
It’s weirdo garbage produced by random people on X and TikTok across a number of topics, like conspiracy theories about Ilhan Omar and influencers who claim “communists” are attempting a color revolution in the U.S.

Not entirely sure the tests being discussed (but not released) are related in any way to the scans being asked about (and also not released). We're probably not going to know anything real until the postmortem.

It's World AIDS Day. Since the Administration has decided to keep it quiet, I'd like to share my introduction to AIDS.
I grew up in Seattle. My mom remarried a man who had a brother who was a King County Sheriff's Deputy. His name was Terry and he was gay. 1/x

My uncle was born in Pennsylvania but because he was the grandson of Greek citizens, he was supposed to report for service in the Greek Army at 18 because Greece considers you a Greek citizen if your grandparents were Greek and there's no way around the dual citizenship.
Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, just introduced a bill to ban Americans from holding dual citizenship. The bill says that to “preserve the integrity of national citizenship, allegiance to the United States must be undivided.” It’s called the Exclusive Citizenship Act.

The most frustrating part for me personally is that even after everything this motherfucker voted for, I still don't want to see him deported.

I was diagnosed with #HIV in 1998, when I was 30.
Many of my friends had died of AIDS. I did not expect to live to 50.
I’m 58 now.
HIV treatment works.
Treatment also makes it impossible for me to pass HIV on during sex.
Ensure HIV treatment for all.
