In a world increasingly filled with leaders who have changed laws, killed people, and stormed parliaments to cling to power, Joe Biden just flipped the script.

[Bill Clinton @BillClinton]

Statement from President Clinton and Secretary Clinton

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.

BREAKING: A new report shows that the end may be in sight for AIDS, the world’s deadliest pandemic.

The Joint United Nations Program on HIV and AIDS says that Botswana, Eswatini, Rwanda, Tanzania and Zimbabwe have all reached “95-95-95” targets, meaning 95% of the people who are living with HIV know their status, 95% of those people are on lifesaving antiretroviral treatment, and 95% of people in treatment are virally suppressed.

Across eastern and southern Africa, new HIV infections have been reduced by 57% since 2010. Also since 2010, the percentage of pregnant and breastfeeding women living with HIV who have access to antiretroviral treatment has nearly doubled, and new infections among children have more than halved.

There’s more work to be done, but the UN said the world could end AIDS by 2030 with sufficient investment from global leaders.

Happy #Pride!

We need a world where #LGBTIQ+ people can form their identities and live freely in love, respect, and safety.

Are you with us?

The passing of the Anti-Homosexuality Bill in Uganda is a devastating blow to the LGBTQ+ community within the country. Our hearts go out to all those affected by this discriminatory law,as we condemn any form of oppression and champion the right to love freely and authentically.

[UNAIDS Global @UNAIDS]

UNAIDS urges all countries to decriminalise homosexuality as a vital step in ensuring #healthforall. This #IDAHOBIT, let's stand up for love, equality, and human rights. #DecriminalizeLove

Today, the Ugandan Parliament passed a new draft of the draconian anti-LGBTQ+ bill which still includes the death penalty and threatens LGBTQ+ people + basic human rights in Uganda. @KagutaMuseveni must veto this bill immediately #SayNoToAHB23 @CFE_Uganda https://t.co/adx4qOhA8x
