RFK Jr wrote this in a Fox op-ed today

It's the 1st of the month, so free subs are back open! We pay $20 per accepted piece! You have nothing to lose and everything to gain! (Even if we say no, there's always @chillsubs.bsky.social Rejection Bingo!) Make his day 🫏 - okaydonkeymag.com/submissions

I lived through this on a small college campus. Every controversy that was claimed to be about “free speech” or “cancel culture” was actually either about right-wingers combatting efforts to promote inclusivity, or trying to justify their hate speech

Did you know that Fahmidan offers a variety of services with accessibility and affordability in mind? 🧡 More info: buff.ly/3D5TuUT...

SCOOP: WaPo Opinion editor David Shipley is out. Jeff Bezos emails staff about a change to Post Opinions: "We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets."

Excited about the launch of Flashes. Not excited that images from posts on Bluesky transfer over if your accounts are linked. They recommend making a separate account, but that seems to making harder to find people. How are others approaching this?

For @motherjones.com, I reported on how looming Medicaid cuts could deprive millions of disabled people of health insurance. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Wisconsinites, please go vote today! Education is under attack, and we need people at the state level who will fight back and protect ALL our students. pbswisconsin.org/news-item/wh...

Support this amazing artist. And trans folx, and disabled folx, and all marginalized and vulnerable people right now (and always).

“White supremacy doesn’t just want Black people to suffer, it wants us to suffer alone.” @chadsand.bsky.social on learning to process the societal and psychological effects of anti-Blackness.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

Science/academia are under siege. Slashed funding from NIH, NSF, and NASA, etc.—plus loss of Pell Grants—will cripple universities. Next, massive endowment taxes aim to deliver the final blow. Research and education are on the line. Call your representatives. Spread the word. Take action. #scicomm 🧪

I'm hearing now that *every* technologist CFPB hired to investigate Big Tech was fired this evening. That's somewhere between 70-100 people. wired.com/story/dozens-of-cfpb-workers-terminated-in-after-hours-firing-blitz/

Professor who teaches African American studies here. If your school eliminates or bans it, I will personally host free zoom sessions, provide resources, or answer questions for students, parents/guardians, or teachers who are interested in learning or discussing African American studies.

I just got finished reading RFK Jr.’s agenda/statement for HHS. If you are chronically or mentally ill, I’d recommend reaching out to your care team and see if you can’t get refills/90 day supplies/etc. of your meds as soon as possible.

We either grit our teeth, scale up our mutual aid, + brace to lose so many people to dungeons, exile, murder, and suicide, or we hit the streets so fucking hard we enter The Cool Zone, which will also require us scaling up our mutual aid, so, scaling up our mutual aid is a good call for right now

A great website tracking all the companies that have bent the knee to Trump and eliminated their DEI programs, and all the companies that have stood strong. www.dei.watch

I am begging all high school history teachers: review the three branches of government & checks and balances tomorrow. It's an unobjectionable civics lesson that will come in handy over the next few weeks as students witness things unfolding before them, when you'll need to explain much, much more.

. @imanibarbarin.bsky.social has made a wonderful resource available FOR FREE (but please pay her if you can afford to) about disrupting the alt right pipeline and 'establishing a progressive media apparatus'on her patreon There's a video, transcript and PDF with great advice.

I mentioned to a colleague (a very smart person at that) that I was stressed about RFK Jr.’s confirmation. They told me that with all the things happening, that one was the least of their worries. As a disabled person, this broke me inside.

We're close to hitting our caps, so submit now to catch this issue cycle!

Hi, I am @motherjones.com' disability reporter. In the following weeks, I am very interested in hearing how tariff nonsense impacts getting your meds and medical equipment. My email to get in touch is [email protected]. Reposts appreciated.

Cannot emphasize enough how dangerous this abelist rhetoric is. Not just as an attack on DEI. This further paints a target on disabled folks. Don't forget he said disabled folks should just die already. (1/3) www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/wat...
