This is something that I carry with me and play often. It comforts me; I hope it does the same for you.
It’s a spot-on soundtrack for this particular 4th of July.
Thank you, Mssrs Toussaint and Simon.

Minneapolis, Saint Paul, Twin Cities: ICE is out terrorizing people. Please be aware. If you see them, call 612-441-2881 and then pull out your phone to record. Comply if they tell you to step aside but keep recording. You are legally allowed to film them.

I watch one TV channel. It’s not ESPN, so not subsidized by everyone else’s subscriptions. And it doesn’t have ads, fascinating in a modern landscape. Only an intense group cares about it. And every six months someone tries to set it on fire to squeeze an extra two bits out of the ashes.

Here are the people who stood and smiled and laughed as Trump went off on his racist rant. Shame on them. And shame on every last person who has spent the last decade downplaying and normalizing his obvious, constant bigotry.
OK I’ve put together the list. Shame on all of them:
Ford CEO Jim Farley
Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa
General Motors plant manager John Urbanic
National Auto Dealers Association Chairman Tom Castriota
Transportation Sec Sean Duffy
Deputy transportation Sec Steven Bradbury

HIV treatment works.
Treatment also makes it impossible for me to pass HIV on during sex.

Some of my favorite people still died. All the Dec. 1s that have come since I’ve wondered, “Did we really just forget all those people?” Like one of my exes was married (for immigration reasons) to someone who left the fucking country to get away from how many people he knew who were gone forever.

Since our fucking government isn’t observing World AIDS Day, I will. In 1990, I started taking care of people in the last stages of AIDS in their homes. I did this for nearly two years. The home care company I worked for had meetings for those of us who solely (or nearly solely) took care of PWAs.
