Turning a blind eye to World AIDS Day under the guise of "modernizing" infectious disease strategies is nothing short of a travesty, emblematic of capitalism's relentless devaluation of human lives in favor of nationalistic and profit-driven agendas. This administration's heartless slashing of global health funding is a violent affront to the global working class, who bear the brunt of such diseases while the rich pad their pockets. The fight against AIDS, stigmatization, and the capitalist system that perpetuates inequality must rage on—this omission is a call to arms for every activist committed to justice and equality.
