It's wild that one of the things that was intended to radicalize people towards the right was years of reporting on a manufactured shoplifting epidemic only for us to be where we are now, witnessing the biggest and most materially deadly smash and grab in US history.

A lotta left leaning folks: "The hardest part of 2025 is realizing that people I love and care about don't share my morality or ethics." Every disabled/immunocompromised person: "Oh. It's like when y'all stopped masking in 2021 and left us for dead because you wanted to eat inside Applebees."

Don't forget your words matter! They can sink into someone's soul & stay there forever. A teacher said this early in my writing career. I remember being gobsmacked, wondering if I'd ever believe them. As I struggle to find my footing as a writer, think about those words & they help me keep going. ❤

If I see another disabled person out & about I shout, “There can be only one!” And pull out my broadsword.

We need more abled people to stick up for disabled people right now. They're going after accessibility, 504, IEPs, and RFK wants to put us in labor camps. Yet the ONLY people I ever see talking about this are also disabled.

I came across this fantastic article on disability gatekeeping. Wanted to share some highlights: “Gatekeeping does more harm than good to our movement: it alienates the critical thinkers, deters creativity and innovation, discourages young people, and isolates us from other social justice movements

disability is the only marginalized community that you could become a part of at any time in your life. just something to think about the next time you want to call other people parasites; you could be disabled at any moment.

It’s the inaccessible environment that causes me to be disabled. In an environment suited to me I’m very able.

Follow The Money. Who stands to gain? Veteran services get cut but the gov’t can shell out 200k more per bed to a private contractor? How is this not waste???

I weep no tears for the FAFO crowd. You were warned. You chose to “own the libs”. May you drown in the Karma of your own making.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

This, a thousand times. At the start of my career I wasn’t the flashiest analyst. I wasn’t bursting with talent. But I was consistent and persistent, and eventually worked my way to Sr. Now I run the second largest team and am frequently asked to mentor the next generation of analysts.
