For the first time since 1988, the federal government will be silent on World AIDS Day. Yet even if this administration refuses to recognize it, we remember and mourn the lives lost to the disease — and our commitment to fighting for those living with AIDS remains unbroken.

HIV stigma is still one of the biggest barriers to care, but storytelling can shift culture.

This #WorldAIDSDay, GLAAD celebrates the advocates, artists, content creators, and community leaders using their voices to challenge misinformation and reimagine what HIV representation looks like in media.

Breaking: Sen. Jacky Rosen of the Foreign Relations Cmte. says, if reports are true, "Hegseth likely committed a war crime when he gave an illegal order that led to the killing of incapacitated survivors of the U.S. strike in the Caribbean."

Rosen adds: "He should resign immediately."

Odd stance by the other CD1 candidates. I look forward to tuning into this Streets for All discussion!
This Thursday, we were planning on hosting a debate with five candidates running for Council District 1. Instead, we will be having a discussion only with Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez. Hope to see you there!

Here’s what happened:

"If the U.S. military operation is not an armed conflict of any kind, these orders to kill helpless civilians clinging to the wreckage of a vessel our military destroyed would subject everyone from SECDEF down to the individual who pulled the trigger to prosecution under U.S. law for murder."
Here are US military lawyers stating clearly that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's "kill everybody" orders are either (1) war crimes or (2) murder.

Either way, expect prosecutions in the future.

This is madness! The “no new wars” president is taking us to war with Venezuela.

Bombing ships in the Caribbean, as an ongoing operation, without congressional authorization, crosses the line into an unconstitutional use of military force.

After I called out the big banks for adding ANOTHER $20 billion to Trump’s Argentina bailout, their plan is on ice.

But they are still exploring a $5 billion loan – potentially guaranteed by U.S. taxpayers.

No bailout for Argentina’s rich hedge fund investors.

We also uncovered a striking phenomenon of "corporate enclaves": localities w virtually no residents but millions (even billions) of dollars’ worth of commercial property. Examples include the Disney-owned jurisdictions near Orlando and the industrial city of Vernon in LA (profiled by Mike Davis):

Mamdani may not have been my preferred candidate, but I am unambiguously excited to see him fight to make our streets safer for everyone.

Appointing @bfurnas.bsky.social to the transportation transition committee is such a good sign for things to come.
Our Executive Director, Ben Furnas, has been appointed to Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani's Transition Committee on Transportation, Climate, & Infrastructure!
