Dad to three, Bobo to one, Eye Candy to The Queen. LMSW. Writer/editor. Sports geek (ANCHOR DOWN!). Now is the time for all good people to come to the aid of their country, however they can. Resistance comes in myriad forms.

Since time began, there are those who have needed extra support. For the longest time, only the strong survived. We've evolved, and now the true fight is between those who are more than willing to lend a hand, and those who think lending a hand is a sign of weakness.

John Kasich: Dems should make sure they're being reasonable, even if Trump isn't.

It'd be sage advice 15 years ago. It's not now. The idea the WH hates the image of kids in zip-ties is naive. As another guest said, "fear is a tactic."

@mollyjongfast.bsky.social @joycewhitevance.bsky.social @marcelias.bsky.social @weissmann.substack.com Is it required a prosecutor tell a grand jury of exculpatory evidence? If not, was it ever a rule? If not illegal, it certainly seems unethical, dishonest and a waste of judicial resources. Thx.

@thearcus.bsky.social Hey, guys! While it's great y'all show self-advocate faces, y'all need to do a much better of job of listening to self-advocate voices. Frankly, everybody does — but Trump's lies about us this week demand white-hot ferocity. Time to push back. Hard.

Show us you get it. Please.

Here's a thread on the intersection of this White House and disability. I'm considered a "self-advocate," a condescending term. What that means is that I'm an old guy with mild cerebral palsy who got an LMSW and has counseled many young people on the autism spectrum. / 1

@repstansbury.bsky.social Thank you for pointing out Kash Patel has committed perjury, apparently with impunity. It's likely Bondi did, too. Your efforts mean tons to a red-state progressive who just became a senior citizen.

@smith.senate.gov ... "crazy-ass" stuff. Well said, and I just burst out laughing about a cross-country flight. Thank you, although I know have Diet Coke in my laptop.

@mollyjongfast.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com The most underreported element in RFK saga is the effect on disability community. We're now being told by ignorant and powerful men we are "tragedies." I'm weary of our voices being unheard because we have a disability. The community is terrified. Help!

Dear @chicagobars.bsky.social :

Win the whole damn thing. Just don't go the White House.

At some point, more politicians need to be comfy with it being OK to say, "Trump's in those files." ... This is basically the same gaslighting playbook of promise-discovery-denial-manipulation he's always run, with loyal-but-incompetent linemen. Seems to me you stop it cold with blitzes.

Scott Jennings just said Trumpstein isn't taking a hit in the polls: WTF is he talking about? He's double-digits underwater in the @natesilver538.tweet.pub aggregate, after being only down -5% a month ago. More shocked he wasn't challenged by anyone on the panel.

$10 says he's down -20% in 6 mo.

Left: Louise Haigh, "I will support the government on Tuesday in recognition they've made significant progress, and protecting the incomes of 400,000 disabled people across the country"

Right: Rosie Jones, "They're not thinking about the millions of people who will become disabled in the future"

Told two longtime “friends” to go fuck off. The kind who want friendship on their terms. One of them — a man with some slight measure of celebrity — told me to go fuck off.

Now, I literally have no fucks to give. And it’s empowering and healthy.

it’s true what they say about crying spells -- they're carthartic, especially when you’re mad at people you can no longer yell at or talk with. when I wasn’t being mocked at school, it was a steady diet of alcoholism, adultery and sadness

So grateful for the people who got me through it

@jessicatarlov.bsky.social I was wondering if anybody on FOX has ever been forced to defend why the Trump administration grew the trade deficit by 59% during his first term. I think that’s a fascinating statistic. It seems oddly relevant.

The plan has always been this: make Christianity part of the government, and then if you criminalize “anti-Christian thought," you criminalize dissent.

@repjasmine.bsky.social ... I don't think the "hot wheels" moment was your best, please let me tell you this: I've got a disability, and I know for a fact Republicans think of us as parasite and not real citizens. / 1
