Sen. Amy Klobuchar dined with Melissa Hortman, a Minnesota lawmaker and decades-long friend, just hours before she and her husband were shot and killed in what authorities are saying was a politically motivated killing. “I wish everyone had known her like we knew her,” Klobuchar told POLITICO.

Most people don't know that Netanyahu's brother Yonatan was a hero. He rescued 102 of 106 Israeli hostages in a commando raid at Entebbe in 1976 and led a team that shot dead the terrorist hostage takers. He died in action. Israel did not then embark on a genocide of the Ugandan people.

Jonathan Joss' husband Tristan has released another statement saying that donations to their old home GoFundMe are not needed at this time and would ask for everyone to direct their energy towards spreading the message about how he was in fact murdered in a hate crime
While I deeply appreciate the support from everyone I wanted to let you know that I have had a couple offers regarding covering expenses for a celebration of life. I have absolutely no plans yet on that but I will try to keep everyone updated. There’s not a need to donate to the gofundme. But I want everyone to remember the joy and love Jonathan has brought and will continue to bring forever. I have my essentials covered and our family in San Antonio is taking care of me until I get back to South Carolina. Instead of donating Jonathan and I would both rather you spread the word about the consistent injustice done to him, to us, and to our dogs. We had so many beautiful plans for the future.

This not only eliminates hope for a vaccine going forward, but also undoes all the progress that has been made so far. The only explanation for these insane policy shifts is that they wrongly view HIV as a disease that only affects gay people and Africans, and want them to die.
