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?

That’s amazing!
In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

What is it with this administration and pedophiles?
An ICE employee was among 16 men arrested after trying to solicit a minor for sex in Bloomington, Minnesota, police say
"When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges said during a press conference. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."

Even I didn’t think Trump was that clueless. Or is he just trying to troll the entire world?
Trump: I’m very proud of the job he’s done. What he’s done is incredible in terms of human rights.
