Entrance to the National AIDS Memorial Grove in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. By the way, this where my partner Mario's ashes were scattered on what would have been his 42nd birthday in August 1993.

The first story I ever posted on Daily Kos was written for World AIDS Day 2006. I’ve posted another one almost every year since then. This year the Trump regime has decided there should be no federal observance of World AIDS Day, saying...

...the government’s policy is “to refrain from messaging on any commemorative days, including World AIDS Day...”

This conveniently overlooks the fact that Trump has issued proclamations for any number of commemorative days and weeks this year.

It seems nobody else has published a story on World AIDS Day thus far unless it happened in the past half hour or so so it seems more important than ever to commemorate World AIDS Day and I will do my best to fulfill that task below the break.
