OTD in 2015, same-sex marriage became legal.
#LoveIsLove became a mantra.
A decade later, many disabled people still cannot love freely.

Autism isn’t an epidemic. It's not a disease. It’s a natural variation in how people think…which, frankly, is a relief in a world where most people don't think at all.

JD Vance has an agenda. Set up conditions to make war possible if Trump wants it.
🤯🇩🇰🇺🇸 JD Vance: "Denmark, which controls Greenland, is not fulfilling its responsibilities and is not a good ally. If that means we need to show more territorial interests in Greenland, that's what President Trump will do. Because he doesn't care how the Europeans yell at us."

My YES vote is *not* an endorsement of this deeply flawed CR.
My YES vote is 💯 about refusing to shut our government down.
I refuse to punish working families and plunge millions of Americans into chaos.
I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever vote to shut our government down.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

I remember Kent State Massacre. We marched at San Francisco State University in solidarity and revolt against those murders. Reagan was California's Governor at the time and he shut down all the universities and colleges...thus began the war on education and dissent.

Pure speculation on my part: John Roberts is a politician in a robe who seeks to suck up to Trump every moment he gets.
He likely ruled against Trump because he determined popular outrage against Trump & Musk was so great, that SCOTUS didn’t dare give Trump what he wanted in this instance.

There is no acceptable affect, no way to charm an abuser, and no “deal” other than playing very very dead that would change how Trump and his flying monkey Vance behaved.

Zelenskyy is 💯 correct here, and I'm absolutely disgusted with the way 47 and Vance treated him.
I am embarrassed today to be an American. As long as the useful idiot remains in the White House, I suspect that feeling will persist.
