The killing of schoolchildren should shock our conscience and cause us to recoil in horror. A nation whose leaders can so easily shrug off the death of children, no matter the cause, is in need of moral repair. There must be accountability and lessons learned from this tragedy. And we must never forget that Iranian children, too, are children of God. 7:08 PM · Mar 12, 2026 · 7,179 Views
Shouldn't be rare to see this said by a US senator
Today is the 36th anniversary of the Capitol Crawl and disabled people are still fighting for basic rights in a society that's actively working to undermine them, surrounded by systemic disablism.
(This is a corrected thread TY to the person who flagged that I said 26th, not 36th!)
This is the best lede I've seen in a tech story in...years? There should be an award just for ledes.
China's new law forces Uyghurs & other ethnic groups to “blend in.”
“Now the Chinese government is demanding this ideological uniformity not only within its territory but also abroad…That is what you call transnational repression,” @yalkun.bsky.social of @hrw.org

Wait, so the plan now is to imprison homeless veterans?!!!!?
"V.A. Begins Drive to Put Some Homeless Veterans Into Guardianship. The Trump administration will expand the power of government attorneys to initiate court proceedings for veterans 'unable to make their own health care decisions.'”
I’m so old I remember when Reagan proudly said that what distinguished America was that anyone could become equally an American, regardless of where they had been born.
Chaco Culture National Historical Park holds thousands of years of history in its incredible cultural landscape. But this history is under threat from oil and gas development.
Take action today, on its anniversary, to protect this site. https://bit.ly/3NhkfuE
This is the worst case scenario. At least one bad actor has all of our Social Security data.
For what purpose? To try to rig elections. And to destroy Social Security from the inside. - @alaw202.bsky.social on DOGE data theft

Appreciate you’re putting together this thread.
CT House Bill 5054
CT House Bill 5054
🚨🚨🚨 CT folks: I got this very last minute - there is a public hearing *today* on a critical vaccine bill. You can submit testimony on favor online - I've heard a lot of opposition has been voiced, so doing this is really important!
The bill, CT HB 5054, allows the DPH to
🔹️set vax policy...

Can you please share this information? (I didn't get word until about 40 minutes ago, but there's apparently a concerted effort to sink this crucial bill.)
🚨 I just submitted my testimony. It's not showing up yet, but the vast majority of the testimony on the site is opposed, which is **very bad.**
Please submit testimony on CT HB 5044 - how to do so is at the end of the 🧵 below. Here is what I wrote, if you want to crib (See below):
Send us your thoughts, photos, voice notes (for our podcast), and more from Long COVID Awareness Day 😷
Whether you’re participating from home/bed or in person at an action, we’d love to hear from you!
For the first time, the Minnesota Disability Law Center set out to document seclusion rooms, photographing more than 80. The 50 school districts maintain 194 registered seclusion rooms across 100 school buildings across Minnesota, according to the records. minnesotareformer.com/2026/03/11/r...
“We are fearful that this is a prototype for other studies,” said @cdelawalla.bsky.social. My latest on the unlikely researchers at the heart of US vaccine policy:

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
On Medicaid Work Requirements, as required by HR-1 (2025):
"Meeting those requirements will be particularly challenging for the state’s roughly 180,000 homeless people. They often have no phones or internet to complete a job application. They have limited access to meals, showers or clean clothes."
KENNEDY: You said, 'Republicans think can troll their way to ethnic cleansing.' Did I read that correctly?
BIER: DHS tweeted for 100m deportations. That would be ethnic cleansing!
K: You don't think it's hyperbolic?
B: I think advocating 100m deportations is ethnic cleansing. Yes. Your time is up
Now feels like a good time to remember that Big Oil is the reason why we're still hooked on dirty, dangerous fossil fuels.
The industry's lies have essentially stolen a generation’s worth of time that we could have used to transition to cleaner, safer energy sources.
It’s time for accountability.

In 2022, I counted more than 400 healthcare centers in the U.S. offering Long COVID care. @delfimarchese.bsky.social followed up three years later, and found many of them have closed... or at least failed to respond to our inquiries.

"A former U.S. DOGE Service employee claimed he had access to two highly sensitive agency databases and planned to share the information with his private employer...an unprecedented breach of security protocols."

After the resolution, I spent the next few hours urging senators not to pass HB 61, which would allow extended-stays to summarily lock families out of their rooms for falling behind on rent and treat them as "squatters."
GA residents: contact your senator and ask them to vote NO on this cruel bill.
New from me at @motherjones.com: Today, @ericswalwell.bsky.social said he's working to help the family of a Deaf kid seek humanitarian parole so he can continue attending CA School for the Deaf–and his staff brought his hearing aids to Colombia for him to use. www.motherjones.com/mojo-wire/20...
This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.
My photo shows a Roman floor mosaic depicting an octopus. The octopus is composed of small black tesserae (tiles) and has eight writhing arms with suckers and narrow curling tips. It is set against a white tesserae background. Octopus detail from a monochrome marine mosaic featuring Triton with a cherub and various sea creatures, including the octopus, dolphins and a cuttlefish, at the women’s changing room at the Central Baths in Herculaneum.
