I see a lot of people speculating about how Alice died and I am asking you to...please not do that. If her family wants to share information about that on their own time, they will, but the speculation and sometimes outright conspiracy theories are actually really upsetting for them to see.

Also in here: DHS responded to the faith-led protest yesterday, calling participants “violent rioters” and “imbecilic morons” who need to “get a job.”
Asked about the statement, one UMC pastor who participated in the protest told me: "This is our job." religionnews.com/2025/11/15/a...

One of the great heartbreaks of being in the disability community is how often we lose people and how many of our most powerful voices have gone silent. We must live our lives loudly and joyously in their honor and remember that our very existence is resistance.
Oh no I just heard we lost Alice. This is terribly sad. She was an incredible, talented, powerful voice of the disability community. She stood strong for herself and for all of us. She will be missed immensely.
‘Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.’

Russia has struck a major warehouse of “Optima-Pharm” for the third time, fully destroying the site. The facility served southern Ukraine and was one of the country's two largest pharma distributors. No staff were injured, but the damage is significant.

If you’re a survivor of sexual abuse… it is a tough time to be online.
It’s ok to take breaks. It’s ok to cry. It’s ok to rage.
Whatever you’re feeling is valid.
I like to remind myself what Gisele Pelicot said… “shame must change sides”
We’re going to make the abusers feel shame now.

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.
But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.
A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

I like Vice Presidents who don't laugh at cancer patients for being cancer patients.
JD Vance: "I serve under Donald Trump, who is very healthy. If I served under Joe Biden, I'd probably be worried every minute of every day that he was gonna croak and that I'd have to become president."

It is not normal to be best friends with a pedophile for decades unless you are getting something out of that relationship.
And one thing everyone knows about Donald Trump is that he is transactional.

ICE tried to deport an Indigenous woman:
Leticia Jacobo, a 24-year-old member of Arizona's Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, was born in Phoenix.
She was pulled over for a traffic violation and her license was suspended and so that night ICE was preparing to deport her.
