Today is World AIDS Day The disease has killed 44 million people The State Department: “The US Government will not be commemorating World AIDS Day this year.” It’s disrespectful to everyone who lost their life. Everyone who lost a friend, partner or loved one. Everyone currently living with HIV.

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.

Yup, my mental health matters to me so much that I promptly unsubscribed to Medicare emails.

A personal word from me about the #HPVvaccine. I'm 69 yrs old so there wasn't an HPV vaccine when I was young. At age 40, I had head & neck cancer from the HPV virus. I will be living with the painful consequences of that cancer, inc ORN, for the rest of my life. Vaccinate your sons and daughters. 💜

Sen. Kelly: “This is about a president who doesn't want anybody to say anything that he does not like. I don't think he understands the Constitution. I think he is ignorant to the Constitution and the rule of law…This isn't about me. This is about what he will do next.”

Sen. Kelly: “I take the threats from this president seriously. How many times in our country's history have you heard a president of the United States say that members of the Senate and the House should be hanged?…Those words carry a lot of weight…I'm not intimidated by Donald Trump.”

Kelly: “I was notified of a potential court-martial through a tweet by the Secretary of Defense…I think that says a lot about who Pete Hegseth is and what he cares about. He doesn't care about the law…He doesn't care about accountability. He cares about views on his Twitter account.”

Kelly: “I've been through a lot worse in service to my country. The president and Pete Hegseth are not going to silence me.”

Sen. Kelly: “[Trump] is ignorant to the Constitution and has no regard for the rule of law…I will not be intimidated by this president. I am not going to be silenced by this president or the people around him because I've given too much in service to this country to back down to this guy.”

Kelly: “Trump and Hegseth, they care more about publicity than they do about the rule of law. That's how I ended up finding out via a tweet that the Secretary of Defense was ordering an investigation into me…If there is anyone who needs to answer questions in public and under oath it is Hegseth.”

Sen. Kelly: “The president of the United States said that two US Senators and four members of the House of Representatives should be arrested, hanged, executed for something we said, for something that is true…He uses every single opportunity to divide us.”

Sen. Kelly: “President Trump is trying to silence me. Threatening to kill me for saying what is true. And he sent his Secretary of Defense after me. And it's not going to work.”

To my new political party: This is the kind of voice necessary to win nationally. Responsible, serious, tough, moderate, decent, understood by regular folks, centrist, take no bullshit, a life of service. Thank you @captmarkkelly.bsky.social.👇

Walking to school and my child got to witness his first Trump Cabinet Meeting

Trump has no economic strategy. He has no strategy for anything. All he cares about is feeding his face, feeding his pockets, and feeding his ego.

Personally, what I am doing now in case this economy goes off the cliff - I'm buying long lasting staples when they're on sale. I'm buying needs and not wants. I look at gently used first- sites like eBay are my friend.

Prime Minister Mark Carney's government announces that Canada is realigning Canada's economy away from the United States.

The Markets and gold are both at all time highs. Gold continues to go up as the dollar goes down, losing purchasing power. Food and everything else will continue to cost more. I'm looking at the record price of gold as an indicator of what's to come.

I just finished Christmas shopping for Elsa cat. She has an incredibly strong prey drive, and loves carrying squishy furry things in her mouth, so her gifts basically look like cute road kill.

In Odesa, WCK teams are supporting families of children with disabilities with our #ChefsForUkraine children’s kits and adult food kits. Each package is designed to bring comfort to families who have been forced to leave their homes. Hear from our Ukrainian team on how they’ve been sharing the love.

A reminder to a nation with way too many people untethered to facts and truth: There’s no such thing as “The Department of War.” It doesn’t exist. Only Congress has the power to create and name executive departments & agencies. So it’s still The Department of Defense. Thanks

I've had A LOT of MRIs. Unless you're an ugly stupid retarded piggy, you always know what is being scanned.

Imagine a perp walk of trump and his entire Cabinet, along with some odds and ends like Stephen Miller. You may say that I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one.

The Trump administration's corruption has extended to selling out Ukraine—and America's interests—to Russia so that the Trump family and their friends can make a few bucks. Must-read reporting from @wsj.com this weekend. www.wsj.com/world/russia...

Happy Saggeth to all who celebrate

Another fyi: If you don't have a profile or any posts, I won't follow you back. Write a little something about yourself. It's not hard. I'm the most boring person I know and still came up with a few lines. Give us something, anything.

Just a quick fyi If I end a post or reply with a purple 💜 heart, it has nothing to do with politics. I use a purple heart in honor of my mom who was the most loving person I know and her favorite color was purple. 💜

So happy for Cory and Alexis! Whenever I see them together, their love fills the room with joy. Congratulations on the journey of a beautiful life together.

Happy Sunday! Here are new photos of a delightful tufted titmouse foraging in the #NewJersey #Pinelands. Are you a fan of this species? 🐦 🌎 📷: Paul Leakan, NJPC #birds #bird #wildlife #birdphotography #sundayvibes

Sending a huge congratulations to my good friend Cory and his new wife Alexis on their wedding!

1 Corinthians 13:4-8 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no account of wrongs. Love takes no pleasure in evil, but rejoices in the truth. ...

“And (Jesus) tells you who his fake followers are—the ones who are openly religious but indifferent to the poor, the sick, the marginalized, the immigrants, and the incarcerated, the lowest of the low. How we treat them is how we treat him.” www.simonandschuster.com/books/Separa...

In case you’re in the mood for some good news . . .

Don't let it slip by anyone that both the Senate and House Armed Services Committees - GOP & DEM - refer to the Pentagon using the correct name of Department of DEFENSE not War. Proper and lawful direct thumb in the eye to the Trump Administration.
