Found over on FB: an Eastern German map of West Berlin... A good reminder of how totalitarian regimes deal with those they don't want to exist.

Everything that they are saying about disabled and neurodivergent people is terrifying. The danger is real.

Protect disabled folks. Our value is not dependent on productivity. No one’s is. We need to ensure it doesn’t creep any farther into Canada. There are lots of reasons to fear annexation, but as a nonbinary and cognitively disabled person, the idea of living under current US policy is terrifying.

It is truly amazing how little scrutiny Stephen Miller gets—not because he’s an architect of Trumpism; that gives him too much credit. But because he is openly the most bigoted and malicious person there and he behaves and sounds like a petulant child.

Greatest part of this is that Qatar was stuck with the plane cause world leaders no longer want "huge, fuel-guzzling, highly personalized airplanes" and prefer a "more discreet presence” So they're buying goodwill by giving it to someone for whom the '80s never ended www.forbes.com/sites/jeremy...

That's the bitch of this disease. Through ancient to modern times, we have accounts of parents with fine healthy kids...

What gets me about this article, is that they are all saying how harmful partisanship is for the country... So why do we keep up with this nonsensical behaviour in the House of Commons? www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
