Remember that you are more likely to become disabled than not.
You can be disabled by illness, injury, climate disasters, war, police brutality, unmitigated pandemics, lack of access to healthcare, etc.
Disability justice is for us all, and itβs foundational to all other forms of justice.
βAs far as I can tell, not a single Republican lawmaker has informed the public that the Save America Act would compel all 50 states to send their voter registration rolls to the DHS or that the DHS would then run the rolls through its βSAVEβ voter purge system.β 2/26/26 β¦1/
Dems should pledge to sign and ratify the ICC treaty that Clinton signed but W (smartly for his ppl) refused to push thru.
Make it clear we will arrest these pplβ¦ and ship them someplace no future vice-signaling GOP Presβs pardon power can reach.

Oh, really? Were the strikes kinetic in nature? Was their synergy between the warfighting paradigms? Did you all ideate a 360-degree workaround for the blockchain?
Quote from Washington Times editorial board "[Radical liberals] don't realize that, when they express contempt for the man who holds the country's highest office, they reveal their contempt for the Americans who put him there."
Uh no...we definitely realize it.
Hillaryβs face shows the disgust and contempt she so rightly feels at this idiotic question from one of the dumbest members of Congress.
As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.
yes, nothing says "innovation reinvention" like a nepobaby trust fund brat with no meaningful experience being gifted a massive hollywood empire by his technofascist dad, who leveraged his corrupt influence over the country's pudding-headed autocrats to box out competitors (?)
βNobody [in media is] coordinating this. Itβs a set of professional habits designed for a political environment where officials operate in roughly good faith. Applied to a bad-faith actor, those same habits actively obscure whatβs being saidβ
@parkermolloy.com, on missing/distorting the big picture
Andrew Lownie explains the basis for fears that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor traded defense secrets for favors from agents or assets of the Russian intelligence services, all of which appears to have been brokered by Jeffrey Epstein.
On behalf of Epstein, Jean-Luc Brunel recruited Melanija Knavs and brought her to the US. Brunel then would up dead under mysterious circumstances in a Paris prison, and Melanija wound up being introduced by Epstein to Trump and married to him. Guess who's not testifying about her Epstein connection
this is a great brief and it appropriately ends with a killshot: the simple observation that if trump's meaning held, the birthright clause would not have overturned dred scott, the one thing it was absolutely meant to do.
again, gawker was killed to smother its reporting. same with cbs news. and itβll be the same with cnn. itβs not about what replaces the newsrooms as much as the destruction or capture of them. less reporting = more elite impunity
This is my favorite part. Because the answer is one of the book's core interventions.
The answer? Yes, both.
They spent 2025 making a huge show of how "disruptive" and "transformative" they were being, with sweeping cuts at DOGE, massive changes in the One Big Beautiful Bill, and so much more.
Now that the costs are becoming clear, they're pretending they did nothing at all. It's all Biden's fault!
Yes that is Victorian prude Anthony Comstock with "All Comstocks Are Bastards" over his face
Given the attack on human rights happening in Kansas, itβs a good time to remind people that βjust moveβ is not an option for most people.
You need money, resources and health to be able to move.
The most oppressed & most marginalized rarely have those things.
We must resist.
The Trump administration is apprehending and designating immigrant kids as βunaccompanied,β even as their parents in the U.S. search for them.

i've decided not to listen to the audio of a teacher reporting a kindergartender because frankly I don't want to become the person that that event would turn me into. but one thing I hope we are collectively coming to grips with is what it meant that we have lived among such people this whole time
the overseer of project 2025 is telling you out loud that every inch you cede on trans rights is part of the plan to create a white christian fascist state
NEW β An obscure Navy contractor program is making Trumpβs plans to quickly build out and supply immigrant concentration camps around the country a reality.
Here I explain WEXMAC TITUS, an acronym you need to understand:
Watch this closely:
Teresa Kenny Orangetown Town Supervisor is caught on video saying βI hope they check his immigration statusβ as a VETERAN is being removed from Mike Lawlerβs town hall last night.
In this political climate, that is not a joke. Itβs a threat.
the logic of his position is that you would them abandon those issues and so on and so on until youβve fully sacrificed a group of vulnerable americans to reactionary bullies for the sake of a percentage point (if that)
I canβt believe weβre still using this antisemitic code word in the Year of Hashem 5786. Everyone, please stop.
This is a known danger of using AI transcription tools. While the actual transcriptions are usually fairly good -- and you can go back and re-listen to your recording if there are doubts -- many now push their AI "interpretations" of what the interview was about rather than the transcript itself.
AI will be used in situations where it isnβt best practice for the same reason university admins continually destroy their schools and for the same reason everything good bought by private equity gets worse and for the same reason this criminal regime is stripping government down to spare parts.
