These MAGAgelicals who don't want to commemorate World AIDS Day are the exact same demographic who cheered on the AIDS virus in the 80's and 90's because it was "killing all the right people" they hate.

These fake-"Christians" haven't changed a bit.

Fortunately, the fight against HIV/AIDS has.

Republicans are to blame for millions of working poor people being left without health insurance in red states because they refuse to accept Medicaid expansion.

This is why simply patching up the ACA by restoring subsidies and Medicaid funding isn't good enough, nor is it "universal healthcare".

Be it public and/or private, return health insurance to nonprofit status.

No corporation should be able to profit from the illness of others by denying them the lifesaving care they need.

Happy 80th Birthday to The Divine Miss M -- the amazing and iconic Bette Midler.

(That is legendary Barry Manilow on the piano.)

Here is a video of her iconic early shows at the Continental Baths.

World AIDS Day. Remembering and honoring everyone we have lost, who lives with, and who is working to end HIV & AIDS.

If the extent of your "universal" health care plan is simply to restore ACA subsidies and Medicaid funding and that's it, leaving millions without access to health care in the coverage gap, then please retire from Congress and let someone else have a go.

The original U.S. Highway System was about connecting America and its small towns. The U.S. Interstate System bypassed many of them for speed.

A friend just drove historic U.S. Route 66 from Chicago to L.A. and loved it.

I would support recommissioning U.S. 66.

Route 66: Why Is the World Still Obsessed With It?
#route66 #tour #route66roadtrip 🔥Want to build your own Eiffel Tower, Big Ben, or Statue of Liberty at home? Click the link to get started https://www.etsy.com/shop/DigitalEnginnering My first acquaintance with Route 66 was in California. I remember standing under the famous sign, wondering how a highway that officially vanished in 1985 could still feel so alive. From that moment, I was hooked. I traced its path backward, from the laid-back vibes of Santa Monica to the bustling streets of Chicago. Along the way, I met people who called it the Main Street of America — a road that once carried dust-covered migrants chasing hope, Elvis-loving tourists snapping photos beside neon signs, and Corvette-driving dreamers speeding toward freedom. I stayed in quirky roadside motels where time seemed frozen in the 1950s. I wandered through ghost towns where tumbleweeds were the last residents. And every mile made me wonder: how did this decommissioned highway outshine the modern roads that replaced it? Maybe it was the stories buried in its asphalt, the songs written for it, or the movies that kept its legend alive. All I know is that once I set my wheels on Route 66, I knew this wasn’t just a road — it was a journey through America’s restless heart If you enjoy our videos and want to support us, consider treating us to a cup of coffee! https://buymeacoffee.com/familymedia 😊 -------------------------------------------- 🔥 Don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE to the Channel! https://www.youtube.com/@engineeringimpossiblenow/?sub_confirmation=1 -------------------------------------------- V I D E O S T O W A T C H N E X T : 🔥 Under Unbelievable Cities: What's Beneath London, Chicago, and Jerusalem https://youtu.be/JoJDGsaVCDA 🔥 How Disney Empire Was Built: From Florida Swamps to Abu Dhabi Sands https://youtu.be/5tCilwyQ6Uw 🔥 Chernobyl Still Radioactive in 2025?

“Medicaid-For-All” covering physical, dental, vision, hearing, mental health, and long-term care. Rebrand it as #AmeriCare.

Greedy for-profit insurance corporations can sell supplemental insurance plans or go it other lines of insurance instead.

The American people deserve universal health care.

There was a scene from the classic miniseries 'Roots' where a poor white farmer was relieved and grateful for a new government program until he found out it would help Black farmers too.

That same racism is why we don't haven't passed universal health care yet.

My Dad doesn’t deserve this. No one does of course. But i wish he didn’t have to spend his final years forgetting the people he loves and all the amazing things he has done in his life. What a cruel twist of fate.

F**k ICE

Indigenous actor Elaine Miles of "Northern Exposure" was detained by ICE at a Redmond bus stop. When she showed them her Tribal ID, they told her it was fake.

I used to be afraid that getting older would mean that it would be too late for me as a gay man to find love.

After this week of seeing my dad in memory care, I am now more afraid of forgetting the love I already have.

On the happy side, I have gone down a pant size and shirt size. I haven’t worn this size since the 90’s.

Can we get these everywhere? I love dogs, but get tired of people leaving baggies of dog poop on the sidewalk rather than disposing of them.

I want to live in an America with a society and Infrastructure as strong as its stock market and military.

Our universal health care, child care, elder care, education, rail and transit systems should be the best in the world too.

Reverse the Trump tax cuts for the superwealthy to pay for it.

Eric Swalwell said "California is the greatest country in the world and is under attack."

Misspeak or not, a Governor who sees California not merely as one of 50 states, but as the Republic of California deserving maximal autonomy would win me over.

Visiting Mom & Dad and helping as Dad moves into memory care.

He is in a great facilty, but It was startling to experience him not recognize me for the first time.

May I show up in service and remember that this is not about me.

So I have used Waymo and shopped at markets with no cashiers. AI is taking office jobs. All types of jobs are disappearing rapidly.

Universal Basic Income is going to be campaign issue in 2028 whether the elites are ready or not.

In case you were wondering, the 405 is just as gnarly in King County-WA as it is in Los Angeles County-CA.
