This. And turn on the setting (in the accessibility section) that requires you to add alt text before posting, if you want a reminder. This is important especially when the image provides necessary context for the rest of the skeet.

Today is the 35th anniversary of the Capitol Crawl, in which disabled activists discarded their mobility aids at the foot of the Capitol steps to climb them in support of passage of the Americans with Disabilities Ac. Jennifer Keelan-Chaffins, 8, told reporters "I'll take all night if I have to!"

i honestly don't know much about the specifics of what this guy said and it could not matter less. the government does not have the right to do this to him. this has to be opposed vigorously. ignore anyone who tries to loop you into a discussion of the ethics of statement this guy made. immaterial.

Anyone find it funny how when the UK releases the Cass review to ban trans care, we get everything ranging from New York Times push notifs to op-eds in every major US paper... But when Germany, Switzerland, and Austria release pro-trans youth care guidelines, not a single article anywhere but mine?

It’s hard to reconcile the “they’ll go after ideologies they don’t like next” talk with the fact they’ve been openly targeting a whole suite of them associated with Black scholarship already. They’ve already threatened to defund any university teaching critical race theory. Why doesn’t that count?

A President who detains a protestor and revokes their legal status can only be called one thing: A dictator. Silencing dissent is unlawful, unjust, and authoritarian through and through.

I published this at Law Dork at 7pm on Saturday: This week, President Donald Trump acted as an authoritarian. The only real question is whether anyone will stop him from being an authoritarian.

Fascism is not polite. Fascism is not civil. Fascism cares little for decorum. Whether we are urged to be civil to racists or polite to patriarchy, the goal is the same: to maintain the power of the racist, to maintain the power of patriarchy. Daily Dose: 117 www.feministgiant.com/p/daily-dose...

Alt text: photo of Trump's address to Congress showing Al Green (we see him from behind) standing among a sea of seated Congresspeople. He's in focus and raising his cane, black with a gold handle, toward the podium where Trump, Vance, and Mike Johnson stand in front of an American flag.

I'm seeing a lot of great takes on Al Green and the absolutely spineless (probable) censure that's incoming, but WOW they all have images without alt text. Do better.

Every time you see what sounds like a wild claim about woke research, you can assume a) it will fall apart under the most basic of inspection, b) the person making the claim will never be held accountable for lying, and c) it is a cover to gut useful research that we benefit from.

Do i search "Substack nazis" once a day on here to make sure the discourse doesn't die? You bet your sweet ass I do. There's no reason for anyone to be STARTING a substack in the year of our lord 2025, what with all the white nationalists, antisemites, and anti-trans bellends. Just say no to SS.

We need to trust our eyes. Nazi salutes, racist purges, an ambush on the Ukrainian president by a far-right regime. If what we see aligns with what we know and is also in line with an established track record, our default assumption should be that what is happening is actually what it looks like.

Again, I am begging just one elected official to say that anything Elon Musk does or says in this government should be treated as an illegal order until his authority is clarified by federal courts. Anyone complying with his demands—up to and including the president—will be violating Section 3, 14A.
