Time to pin this, especially for everyone calling for a general strike. How about you hold to THIS as part of the training for a general strike. Keep up THIS boycott first. Then, we shall see what happens.

My wife has been HIV+ for 34 years. She’s alive today b/c work of activists who destigmatized the virus, pushed medical science to adapt & find ways to treat it, & advocated for gov health programs that helped fund her care. The current U.S. regime may want to go back in time, but we won’t let them.

I cannot emphasize enough that he believes he's doing God's will
Also, the fundamentalist cult he belongs to, Doug Wilson's CERC, is extremely confrontational & wield their beliefs like weapons. They spend the entire month of November pushing "No Quarter". The whole thing is about not backing down

When you read about these brazen crimes, remember that Hegseth believes he is carrying out God's will.
Pete Hegseth responded to all this with the smirking, adolescent sadism of a schoolyard bully pulling the legs off of a spider. Now juxtapose this with the horror experienced by a source who saw the imagery of the men being blown apart in the water:

Yeah, the American people likely should have been paying more attention to getting a Real ID since 2005 - AND this is still a lovely stinking albatross of consumer rage we can hang around MAGA’s neck, so I’m ALL in on blaming this squarely on Trump.
TSA to start charging travelers $45 if they don't have a Real ID. Here are the details.
Flyers without Real IDs, passports or other accepted forms of identification will need to pay a $45 fee starting Feb. 1.

It’s becoming the new popular dog whistle. Very common usage now to imply that Jews are behind the economic problems of the world and the suffering people are going through due to inequality.

Today is World AIDS Day, which the Trump Admin is refusing to commemorate. AIDS was the issue that got me riled up about politics and health policy at a very young age growing up in the SF Bay Area. I re-read And the Band Played On during the pandemic (teaching it again in spring) and it's haunting.
