Never in my most pessimistic moments did I expect the response to modern biotechnology saving countless lives in a pandemic to be a powerful elite captured by a conspiracy theory and dismantling our defenses against the next one out of some misguided notion of revenge

@schumer.senate.gov bet that "4 Good Republicans" would help bring down Trump's most extreme nominees if Democrats cooperated on the rest. The results are in: Trump got everything he wanted faster than anyone in 24 years. Care to comment? Call him at (202) 224-6542.

Call. Be loud. If you like your $6 shipping from small businesses, CALL. The cheapest I can ship dice to you from not-USPS is $15. CALL.

Just FYI, commercial ads for prescription drugs are illegal pretty much everywhere except the US. Only drug ads I ever saw growing up were for Panadol (acetaminophen). A nation’s health care totally governed by insurance and drug companies is NOT NORMAL.

Eugenics & fascism go hand in hand. White supremacists don’t want disabled people around. We remind them of their fragility. We question their supremacy. Stand up for disabled people. Fight mask bans, Medicaid & Medicare cuts. Wear a mask. It’s one of the most powerful things you can do.

They’re gonna keep doing this, at the very least, until people start calling it what it is (a nazi salute) and get appropriately fucking livid about it. The phrase is “NEVER AGAIN” not “Oh maybe a little bit, once more, why not?” jfc

The only reason the GOP is ‘panicking privately’ is because their constituents are yelling publicly. Otherwise they wouldn’t care. That means our organizing, our phone calls, our rallies, and our protests are working. Don’t let up on these cowards for one second. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes. You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment. My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc. www.reddit.com/r/Passports/...

Transgender men's invisibility is violent erasure. Sam Nordquist, a 24-year-old transgender man, was tortured for over a month to death, and his slaughter is not being considered a hate crime. The media has gone to disgusting lengths to minimize Sam's transgender identity. Hardly anyone is outraged.

Of course it doesn't matter that congestion pricing was working, as this is part of the broader program of theatrically wrecking shit as part of the broader campaign against any new thing. But it was working incredibly well.

Getting kinda depressed looking up how other authors are marketing their books and seeing so many use AI slop to make "book trailers" No thanks, I'd rather never see another sale of my book than use that shit. LLMs and generative models will never be welcome with my art, of any variety.

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

28% of American adults have a reported disability, and all of us experience disability in our lives. Section 504 protects your right to work, your kids' right to education, and our collective human rights. Call your attorney general to ask they protect Section 504. 5calls.org/issue/sectio...

Section 504 is the law that prevents corporations from discriminating against hiring you if you have a disability.

Section 504 says all organizations that accept $$ from the gov (schools, hospitals, businesses) MUST accommodate people with disabilities, & protect them from discrimination/poor treatment. Section 504 is a GOOD thing. If you live in the 17 states that are suing to overturn it, CALL YOUR REPS!!

If you look at a story about politicians getting uncomfortable because of all the constituent calls they're getting and your reaction is "we're fucked," sort yourself out. If they're starting to whine, the pressure is starting to work. That's not a sign we're fucked, it's a sign that it's working.
