Trump has Reagan era thinking when it comes to HIV and AIDS. He doesn’t think it can infect him or anyone he bothers to sort of care about.

I can’t take anybody who agreed to work with this madman and hasn’t resigned seriously. No matter what their CV or seeming virtues they are permanently smeared by association with him.

People lost jobs,had their kids taken from their custody, were burned out of their houses, watched everybody they knew in their circle of friends die. Those who are too young to remember the eighties really can’t grasp that it was a plague; both in the sense of a virus spreading unchecked and in how it was treated (or…

In Pence’s mind, they’re all a bunch of dirty sinners who deserve to die and burn in hell anyway.

Given Pence’s highlight reel as governor includes a 2015 Indiana HIV outbreak...

blunt: adjective. Having a worn down edge or point; not sharp.

Opioids are the modern day equivalent I’d say. Until we treat addiction as a public health issue instead of a public safety issue (amongst other things such as doctors proscribing serious opioid based pain killers for any surgical procedure) that problem isn’t going anywhere.

My students do not have meaningful memories of the AIDS crisis at its highest pitch — before the “cocktail” treatment was introduced in the 90s, for sure, HIV/AIDS was an automatic death sentence with a very short horizon. So I have to explain things like ACT UP, Larry Kramer, etc. It’s not as if AIDS went away, of…

I grew up when AIDS was still a death sentence. I’ve lost beloved friends to the disease. They battled and suffered not just for their lives but also for a cause.

With the increasing rate of opioid abuse this is a huge problem. But, considering Pence’s handling of the outbreak in Indiana we shouldn’t be surprised.

By comparison, Obama’s was appointed in little over a month and made the country’s first comprehensive HIV/AIDS strategy within a year and a half.

At this point, no one with established credentials will work with this administration. It is shattering under the weight of its incompetency.

Blackface is something specific. I’m not really supportive of it’s continued expansion into more and more situations.

Same. And also, like, y’all never tried any butt stuff..? Are we just pretending like that’s not a thing? And OF COURSE he can see your butthole during sex. And not just while doing it doggy style.

“When we have sex, we like to think that above all else, we’re fucking sexy.”

FUCK no

i would’ve...til i heard him speak just now.

That’s because Trump is the puppet master that’s operating his mouth, along with other body parts.
