Is your country ruled by an aging megalomaniac whose supporters worship him with an almost cult-like zeal? Has your leader eroded trust in elections by attempting to bring them under his direct control and/or stoking false claims of voter fraud?

9 years ago today was the Moonlight fiasco at the Oscars. I don’t know if the two situations can be compared, but there is an eerie parallel with the BAFTA incident. What should have been a moment of celebration for Black artists will be remembered instead for how that joy was so cruelly erased.

In the 80s, Jesse Jackson spoke up for LGBTQ rights when few other politicians dared. I saw him speak powerfully at the first display of the AIDS Memorial Quilt in ‘87 while Bush Sr refused to acknowledge it. He was ahead of his time in many ways. May he be an example to future Dem candidates.

Just in case you were wondering where all that USAID money went: Vought is using it to pay for his own security detail. Meanwhile the deaths due to those cuts are approaching one million.

That’s Zuckerberg’s wife, a pediatrician who once worked at the same county hospital that I used to work at (and which now bears her husband’s name, though I refuse to call it that). A children’s doctor, sitting next to him at a table full of child predators. I am just sickened.

The US government may not be observing World AIDS Day, but the rest of the world still is. And this year’s theme was chosen to highlight the current US administration’s criminal negligence which has already caused over 600,000 preventable deaths.

As if the damage isn’t already done. As if he doesn’t still pose a threat to US and global public health. As if he isn’t still a dangerous crank, playing games with millions of human lives. As if he isn’t an ignoramus, in way over his head, gambling with stakes he is incapable of understanding.

An HIV denialist and anti vaxxer is now in charge of the agencies that set our national HIV treatment and vaccine guidelines. A crackpot who is against pasteurized milk and fluoridated water is now in charge of the FDA. People will get sick and die and their blood will be on his filthy hands.

Honoring Dr. King’s legacy today by reflecting on Letter From a Birmingham Jail.
“We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history, there is such a thing as being too late. This is no time for apathy or complacency. This is a time for vigorous and positive action.” Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
