Yes, in my bio it says "disabled writer."

I am a disabled person that writes, not a writer with a disability.

I am a chameleon, observing and mimicking whatever behavior is directed to my attention.

I am a mirror, reflecting what you say about me and/or my views to your audience.

If you follow right wing media, you probably have seen the breathless claims that Vermont's EV buses don't work in winter.

But as my brilliant wife @mistymotors.net shows, they got EVERYTHING wrong.

🚨 MAJOR BOMBSHELL: Ted Lieu says the full, unreleased Epstein files show Donald Trump R*PING children.

That’s what’s being hidden.
That’s why the files stay sealed.
That’s why there are no arrests.

Release everything. Let the truth come out. Or RESIGN!

Hot take:

We, as an USian collective, have not been traumatized enough to go out and demand what we really want from our leaders.

We have the power to do more than just complain about CBS/Paramount. We can use our power by boycotting all companies like CBS that support Trump's fascist agenda! We did that with Disney/ABC and we got Jimmy Kimmel back on the air.

Colbert: "They know damn well that every word of my script last night was approved by CBS lawyers who, for the record, approved every script that goes on the air."
Stephen Colbert blasted CBS's denial that it blocked the broadcast of his interview with James Talarico,

"I don't even know what to do with this crap." He then pulled a plastic doggy bag from behind his desk, picked up CBS's statement, tied a knot and mimed tossing it before cutting to commercial.

Juan is the 2-month old who was at Dilley and was hospitalized with bronchitis in the last 24 hours.

Abolish ICE is no longer the moderate position.

The moderate position is now fed posting on main.
After a discussion with their attorney, I have confirmed that Juan, his 16-month-old sister, his mom, and his dad have been deported.

One more despicable move by ICE. Juan Nicholás, the 2-month old baby who has been sick in Dilley Detention Ctr for 3 weeks and was rushed to the hospital by ambulance last evening has now been deported with his mother and family. He still has a respiratory illness. Report by Lidia Terrazas.

Before Bernie Sanders, there was Rev. Jesse Jackson: the National Rainbow Coalition, 7 million votes in 1988, and a real multiracial working-class coalition that shook the Democratic Party—laying groundwork that even shaped Barack Obama.
