tonight's sewing project is the Bestie Bag by Blackbird Fabrics in dusty blue canvas and soft pink satin. Sadly I keep doing something weird with my bobbin so I have given up on this for tonight. Will try re-winding the thing tomorrow.

Disability benefits aren’t “extra” money. They’re the bare minimum to survive in a world that disables us—through poverty, inaccessibility, and neglect. Cutting them isn’t reform. It’s state-sanctioned harm. Please support us. #DisabilityBenefits #WelfareNotWorkfare

This is an extraordinarily good article and reflects so much of my own experience. When you grow up in constant pain, it turns out you think that’s normal when it definitely is not. So much about my life suddenly made sense when I started to figure all this out.

Attempts to re-normalize the r-word are the perfect encapsulation of how shallow anti-wokeness has always been. The desperate need to claw back some cringe casual bigotry without having to acknowledge how understandable it is that ethical people want nothing to do with your regressive trash behavior

It is similar to some christians who tell disabled people that they would be healed if only they let Christ into their hearts. When no healing occurs, they tell us that we obviously don’t have enough faith. Cannot win.

This thread by the Congressman is a lie, and we should primary Democrats who lie to people about the content of statutes. Here is the section on documentary proof from the SAVE Act.

Very helpful for Trump to publicly concede that he has the power to bring him back if he wants to.

BREAKING: As expected, and consistent with all the PROOF reporting from the past week, the Trump administration has now _refused to follow court orders_ in the Abrego Garcia case. Major media misinformed the public by telling them that the Supreme Court ruling in the case was a win for rule of law.

#ResistanceRoots #ResistanceUnited #Voices4Victory The SAVE Act is the latest attempt to prevent eligible Americans from voting. It would require voters to prove their eligibility when registering to vote by appearing in person and presenting a birth certificate or passport. But there’s a catch. /1

The SAVE Act, a.k.a the Save the Republicans' Asses Act, is a shameless attempt to block Americans—especially married women—from voting. Requiring birth certificates to cast a ballot? That’s not election security. That’s voter suppression.

"Democrats who voted for the bill were Jared Golden (Maine), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (Wash.), Henry Cuellar (Texas) and Ed Case (Hawaii)." Shameful.

NEW: Today, the House will vote on the SAVE Act, a bill that would disenfranchise millions of voters. As Rep. Terri Sewell (D-AL) states, “this bill is not about protecting our elections, it’s about making it harder for Americans to vote and easier for Republicans to win.”

basically go check out every book @hillarymonahan.bsky.social has written - I think I've read them all and I have enjoyed them all. Always sad when I manage to read through all of an author's books.

If Kristi Noem was able to fly to that torture camp in El Salvador and film a photo op in front of hundreds of caged prisoners, she or the president can certainly get on a goddamn plane to that same prison right now and retrieve a father they sent there by "mistake."

No one I know is against having full supply chains for meds happen in the US. There are already shortages that happen due to international supply chain issues. But, the sudden surge in cost and shortages hurts chronically ill and disabled people.
