Disabled people could face benefit cuts – even if they cannot work
Long-term claimants of employment and support allowance could be moved over to a new, time-limited disability benefit – equating to cuts.

Putting in my tinfoil hat: seems 'coincidental' that Mnpls, blocks from the Floyd murder, & Portland - 2 reliable escalation points - there were ICE shootings 2 days in a row? If it were Scranton & Albuquerque, ok. But literally the 2 towns known to blow? If Baltimore's next, I'm calling it a plan.

Where the hell are Google and Apple enforcing their app store terms of service on X? Grok doing CSAM should instantly be a removal from the app store. Any other app doing this would be pulled instantly. Journalists should be asking for comment from these companies.

Twitter is owned by a fascist, Facebook and the Washington Post have gone MAGA, and now CBS News is about to be turned into far-right state TV. Here’s why America has a liberal media bias problem.

@muellershewrote.com does an amazing job explaining and framing the Jack Smith epic, kinda bad ass, testimony.
Yes. And I spent this weekend curating the 34 most important exchanges in the Jack Smith testimony here youtube.com/live/6a1TCDY... and then filed a response to DoJ in federal court over release of the Epstein redaction training videos here youtube.com/live/c3NVDAQ...
Two things were happening as Trump decided to launch his imperial strike on Venezuela. One was the DOJ filing w/the court explanations for their redactions in the Epstein files they released. The other was Jim Jordan’s release of the transcript of Jack Smith’s testimony.
So I read the transcript.

When I've talked to deepfake victims, both public figures and everyday people, I've heard horror stories about police laughing them out the door, girls getting expelled for reporting their classmates, and lawyers advising them that suing would just make it worse. This is abuse culture in action.

Pepsi allegedly gave Walmart discounts on its products, while charging other retailers higher prices.
Biden's FTC filed a complaint. Trump's FTC later dropped it.
This is a prime example of how monopoly-like power takes away our freedom of choice. Lina Khan explains.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Increasingly think the failure to twig the lies is not just lack of diversity in publishing + adherence to a certain convenient narrative about disability, but a wide failure in critical thinking.

I really wish that well meaning people would stop using the term "aspergers". Dr Asperger was a goddamn literal Nazi who killed and tortured hundreds of autistic kids en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_As...
