They are zip tying and arresting people in wheelchairs. Their “crime”? Protesting to keep their Medicaid which is a literal life and death issue for disabled people. The cruelty is the point. Remember that the Nazis started with the disabled. They tested the gas chambers on us

Hey there. Yes, the world is in a super shitty state. People are dying from genocide and other 1000% preventable causes. But you can't do everything, and you don't have to. It's okay. Take care of yourself. Breathe. And when you're ready, jump back in.

Let’s stop pretending this is just about “comfort” or “personal choice.” Masks aren’t about fear. They’re about duty of care. They’re about science. They’re about respect for life.

Elderly and disabled people told Congress that cutting Medicaid could kill people and in response, they were arrested in their wheelchairs. What the hell are we doing?

Neurotypicality is a category. Neuronormativity is a system. They are not the same. And we need to stop treating them like they are.

“The big cities don’t represent the real America!” The big cities are where most Americans live and where most of the country’s GDP is generated. I’d never claim that my little 94% white town in NH isn’t America, but NYC represents the country more accurately.

Autistic humans are often spoken about as being detail-oriented, justice-driven, truth-seeking. But no one talks about the trap that comes with that. We start to believe that our value lies in always noticing what’s wrong. ....

Ted Cruz just said Mr. Abrego has been charged with Human Trafficking. Cruz proclaims "I read every word of that indictment!" Apparently not, because Abrego was not charged with human trafficking. I hope this comes up in a motion to dismiss the charges.

This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.

A reminder that the @nytimes.com told New Yorkers to not rank Mamdani at all, & instead endorsed former hedge fund manager Whitney Tilson. Tilson sits at a whopping .8%. Corporate media trust is dead. They killed themselves by failing to fulfill their promise of holding the powerful accountable.

I am elated. For the first time in my 16 years in NYC, there’s a real chance my future mayor will actually make things better. To those of you telling us we’ve got more work to do & the fight isn’t over: 🤫. Let us celebrate this win. The people of NY know what’s ahead. We don’t need you to tell us.

Mamdani was the ONLY dem candidate who opposed mask bans. Which says all you need to know about the “left” in the United States. He will now face Adams, who has said at least three separate times that he wants a city wide mask ban. Mask bans are discriminatory ugly laws that put lives at risk.

A Muslim son of immigrants might become mayor of NYC in part because he cross endorsed and supported a Jewish candidate and Black candidate, and vice versa. It's a beautiful American story for the rest of us. A nightmare for all the right people ;) It's so New York.

Mamdami was clear he does not support mask bans Imagine if we can get him to move to codify the right of New Yorkers to wear masks? I’m dreaming of the day a candidate runs on that platform Masks are an accessibility & public health issue, and a “progressive” movement includes widespread masking

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.
