This World AIDS Day, we mourn the hundreds of thousands of Americans lost to HIV/AIDS and stand with those living with the diagnosis today.
While the Trump Administration refuses to mark this day, California will never abandon our neighbors, friends, and loved ones affected.

Today is World AIDS Day. The White House ignored the AIDS crisis when it began because a Republican (Reagan) was president. The United States is no longer observing World AIDS Day because another Republican (Trump) is president. #Bigots

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.
And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

This would benefit literally everyone except the insurance companies, and large corporations who want to keep employees trapped under otherwise disadvantageous conditions. So much of our healthcare spending goes to corporate profits instead of healthcare.
🚨NEW: A new poll Americans’ support for Medicare For All has intensified to the point where the old attacks may no longer work.
As both parties legislate criticism of socialism, there has been a 50-point shift on a key question in just 6 years.
