Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

My daughter’s speech therapist went out of business because Medicaid reimbursement rates were too low. We do not have Medicaid. I’m going to keep posting this until people understand that when Medicaid gets cut everyone loses services.

Those 89¢ blue pills? They’re for the same angry men running ICE and police depts—sexually broken, mentally unstable, and desperate for control. Women don’t want them, so they turn to violence as sex. This is who’s in charge now.

as someone who lives nextdoor to both supportive housing and public housing, i need people to understand that the best locations for both are going to be the central neighborhoods in a metropolitan area, where there is easy and reliable access to services and jobs.

"Abolish ICE" and "defund the police" are both reasonable and correct on the merits but were absolutely neutered by centrists smearing them as radical activist overreach.

Every now and then some RETVRN account will be like “the evil feminists want you to believe that you’d rather work a high powered job, live in a big city, and spend your twenties sleeping around instead of getting married and having babies.” And it’s like… yes.

Hey nondisabled people: I appreciate you jumping on the eugenicist rhetoric coming out of “Dr.” Oz, but I need you to understand: they don’t give a shit about childhood cancer, or dementia, or any illness. It’s all our fault, and if it’s your kid, it’s your fault. That’s how this works.

Some disabled people can & do work. Some could with the right adjustments & support. Some could work but no one will employ them. Some could work but only flexibly/part-time. Some do work but shouldn’t really. Some don’t work and can’t. Some never will be able to. All are valid.

Not the first time I've said it, but I do think we should sit with the fact that the folks likeliest to have predicted we'd elect a reality TV president who'd create a fascist police state where people would be put into unmarked vans for criticizing Israel have been widely ridiculed my entire life.

A lot of women direct the rage and despair they feel at how men have no incentive to put actual effort into their relationships at feminists who point out this state of affairs. Which I'm sure is cathartic, but we're about to pivot from "shitty dating scene" to "domestic entrapment" real quick.

They girlboss yassified Gilded Age space tourism. It's not a "crew." These people are not astronauts, they are passengers. This is not feminism. This is not anywhere in the neighborhood of feminism. This is the glossy capitalist influencer ripoff known as "empowerment" and it's just gross!

It’s not “differently abled,” it’s not “special needs,” it’s not “handicapped,” or anything else, it’s disabled. Disabled is not a bad or dirty word. Disabled is accurate and there’s nothing wrong with being disabled.

I spoke to a South Carolina woman today who is miscarrying - her fetus has no heartbeat - but the state's ban is preventing doctors from taking action. She has to walk around with a dead fetus for another week so she can get a FOURTH ultrasound. This is what bans do.

It’s amazing how angry mothers get at this sort of thing, when Chappell is stating an observation, not a prescription. Meanwhile, single childless women are expected to bear the entire weight of culture insisting we are miserable with grace

People actually should be forced to reckon with the fact that their “individual choices” that just so happened to be “right” for them & their family might have broader societal implications that serve to further the oppression of women.

If people really believed the “choice feminism” rhetoric, they would want those choices well-informed. Which means talking about how stressful kids can be.

This has been empirically demonstrated many times! You can’t expect men to have a place of domination and superiority over women in the home and treat women as equals outside of it.
