If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. He's a murderer. And you don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER.

In belated observance of World AIDS Day, here is recently rediscovered footage of ACT UP marching through Paris on Dec. 1st, 1990. Yes, thirty-five years (a lifetime) ago. "Contre le sida, une journée ça ne suffit pas." Why is this scourge still with us?
