I don’t understand why he isn’t in jail for the crimes he’s already committed against this country. Why isn’t the ICE insanity being applied to him?! I’m sure I know the answer already but it’s infuriating to see the double standards.

I’ll bet that as a disabled and/or gay person I’ll soon be denied any “due process.” This time the nazis have automation and almost unfettered surveillance into every aspect of our lives. Despite their profound ineptitude, automation will make them unbelievably effective.

I keep telling people the plan for us is death and people keep telling me I’m being dramatic or that I’m overreacting. What they haven’t witnessed is all my life how many people who claimed to be allies or even friends simply abandoned their “post,” often for nothing more than laziness or boredom.

I think (or maybe it’s just hope) that people are realizing we’re all in this together and that we can either cocreate a nightmare for everyone but a few or we can create a dream for everyone but those consumed by greed. I feel like I’m far less “crippled” than someone ravaged with insatiable greed.

When I’m hit with the tired trope that I should try harder I reply with maybe they’re not supporting effectively. It doesn’t win me any fans but it does bring the hypocrisy of the abled people who “can’t,” and the disabled people who “won’t,” into high contrast visibility. Effective support is ❤️!

Again, again, and again. Eventually we just stop believing in hope at all.

The death toll will not just be us.

Exactly.
It's not as if any of Trump's EOs on the first day were unexpected.
If you voted for Trump, you voted to endorse the Jan 6 participants, you voted to remove the 14th, you voted for increased cost of medication and you voted for for accelerating climate change.
None of this is a surprise.

Good luck affording a PAPR. From experience it’s safer to never ask for one either.

I’ve said a few times, I already figure I’m dead sooner than most. My only hope at this point is that it’s a humane execution and not horrific “life,” as a lab specimen. Most people (especially if they aren’t marginalized themselves) insist I am being dramatic.
It’s really hard to hope right now.

The extremists asking the Court to block PrEP access argue that requiring employers to cover PrEP “violates their religious beliefs by making them complicit in facilitating homosexual behavior, drug use & sexual activity outside of marriage between one man & one woman.”
Their bigotry is explicit.

Depends on how much they were paid and/or how much they stand to make on whatever stocks they hold. Nothing about the nominee’s credentials matters as much as what they stand to gain (or keep secret if their motivation isn’t money).

Rep AOC: "republicans, who have voted consistently against the violence against women's act, who have taken the rights of all women to have control over their own body, who as women are bleeding out in parking lots, now want to pretend today that they care about women."

You’ll know he liked it if you find him there again. Any funny faces at that point would be relative to you catching his indulgence.

I would never show up. I can’t afford my ER copay at 125/visit (up from 90 that I couldn’t afford either). I’m in the same boat for mental health & other issues w/@anthembcbs.bsky.social
My $55 healthy food disallows delivery unless their exploitative vendor delivers. Think $3 for off brand corn.

You most likely have access to Hoopla and/or Kanopy through your library, there are several queer titles in their catalogs. I don’t have a list of titles but it’s at least a resource without ads.
