Conservatives in the 1980s greeted AIDS with nothing short of glee - Rush Limbaugh had a daily "AIDS update" segment celebrating the rising death toll and Pat Robertson called AIDS "God weeding his garden." Their goal, then as now, is more dead queers
New York Magazine@NYMag
About 510,000 people died of AIDS in the U.S. between 1981 and 1996. In the late 1990s, a breakthrough “cocktail” of HIV meds became available. Since then, treatment options have become more abundant and easier to take, and in the United States, HIV-related mortality rates have plunged. But now there’s risk of a backslide. States across the country are considering cuts to a program that covers about a quarter of the roughly 1.2 million people in the U.S. living with HIV. Tens of thousands could soon lose access to medication. The most extreme example is in Florida. Early this month, the state government drastically reduced access to its AIDS Drug Assistance Program, a long-standing federal initiative operated and partly funded by states that provides free or subsidized HIV meds and care. Claiming a $120 million budget shortfall, Florida chopped the annual income-eligibility cutoff for ADAP from about $64,000 (in line with many other states) to about $21,000. Half of the 32,000 Floridians who depend on ADAP would lose coverage. ADAP programs work both to help save lives and to stop the epidemic’s spread: Medically suppressed HIV cannot be transmitted. A recent study calculated that if Congress were to eliminate the act that houses ADAP, new HIV infections across 31 major U.S. cities would rise nearly 50 percent by 2030. Tim Murphy reports on how cuts in ADAP “could see the first rise in HIV incidence in decades”: nymag.visitlink.me/vh9KRx

How can the BBC justify how much coverage they give other marches which are significantly smaller in size?
The bias is so obviously blatant.

The real goal of those Olympic policies. Trans women are an afterthought, the real targets are black women who don't conform to the feminity in deranged mind of transphobes in the west.

I'm sorry but how on earth is this not front page news everywhere? A child. Cigarettes extinguished on his body. A metal rod inserted into his feet. In front of his father. This is documented, filmed, and handed over through the Red Cross. Where is the ICC? Where is the outrage from those who lecture the world about human rights?
Sameh Ahmed 𓂆 🇵🇸@PalPress24
The child who was subjected to torture (including having cigarettes extinguished on his body and a metal rod inserted into his feet in front of his father)— In a delayed video released by the occupation, the moment of his handover to the International Committee of the Red Cross is documented in the “Yellow Line” area east of Gaza, days after he was detained along with his father. During his detention, he was subjected to severe abuses, while his father remains imprisoned by the occupation to this moment.

Everyone in America knows someone like Mary Lau who doesn’t want to take transit/uber and insists on driving long after it’s safe.
Driving with illness or age related impairment is just as premeditated as DUI and the tragedies that result are just as predictable and preventable.

i keep thinking about the two month old. cauê. he was alive for two months. he never walked. he never talked. his parents put him in a stroller to go to the zoo and a woman doing 75 in a residential zone killed him and his entire family and a judge said community service. i'm not okay
