Found the Kuo-Toa in BG3 and have decided to rename my character from Tav to MAHKLOOMPA. I will now ONLY introduce myself by the name given to me by a bunch of fish people who worship me as a god. ...weirdly the same thing happened to me in our 13th Age game...

I need all my veteran folk to see this. This is under the guide of "options for care" but in actuality will mean privatization of the VA. Care will be disjointed (your prescriber and therapist will not communicate which they do in the VA). Your providers will know 0 about military or resources

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

I need everyone to be crystal clear that this is a continuation of RFK and the wellness community’s obsession with the elimination of the disabled and the chronically ill. They are disgusted by us, they view illness and disability as weakness, and they believe in using eugenics to disappear us.

If you're wondering how things are going up here in Canada, a school board near Edmonton, AB, has been calling all the parents of disabled kids this weekend to say that their children are no longer welcome at school. All of them. Nothing sent in writing. Got this second hand from my mom's trainer.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

As someone who sat through more than one hostile town hall in WI where tea party activists berated my then-boss about Obamacare, and I occasionally feared for my physical safety, I find these video clips so cathartic to watch.

If you live in Wisconsin, you need to get involved with Susan Crawford's campaign now. Far-right activists have been talking about this race since November. If you live out of state, consider phone banking for crawford or throwing dough to her campaign or grassroots groups organizing for her.

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

Remarkable: Trump's own pollster just found that in swing House districts, Dems lead by 5 points and voters want tax policy to prioritize working people, per Politico. Yet GOP is about to brutally slash the safety net and give the rich huge tax cuts! New piece: newrepublic.com/article/1918...

Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position. www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

people always like to sneer "in communism no one will clean the toilets" and just so you know, I will. cleaning the toilets is nbd and the reason cleaning-the-toilets-type jobs suck is because they don't pay enough and take up too much of your time, not because cleaning toilets is innately degrading
