A little bit about me: full stack software dev who loves the frontend, a disabled activist for #Insulin4All (but I care about lots of disability justice issues!), an avid fan of fantasy novels, baking, and IndyCar racing, proud cat mom. That pretty much sums up what I tend to talk about online!

ICE has been holding a disabled Black man for a year!
Rodney Taylor is a double amputee who was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE took him.
He’s been denied his prosthetics & placed in solitary.
His health is declining.
Public outrage might save his life.

Maybe because some of us care about other people, which is pretty inconceivable to a lot of empathy-free right-wingers? Though a lot of us aren't exactly mad; we're resolute in our commitment because it's not just one white woman being murdered; it's millions of BIPOC people being terrorized.
I don't know, Heritage Foundation-tied publication, maybe white liberal women are mad because a federal immigration official shot and killed one of them. And then called her a "bitch"? You know, on camera? www.dailysignal.com/2026/01/27/w...

I just want to point out that it has been very clear to me as a vulnerable person in our society that mutual aid is the best possible support. No it’s not tax deductible but it is the absolute most impactful money you can give to people on the ground trying to survive

This is from the NYT masthead editorial about the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. The highlighted line invalidates not just the editorial, but the very idea of newspaper editorials crafted by the consensus of a board. Better to publish nothing at all than to publish a line like this.

As you are struggling to process your own emotions after the latest violence perpetrated on your community you drive past a single person standing on a street corner holding a sign.

This also goes for Democrats saying "Well in private my colleagues have shared their concerns." Your colleagues have lost the right to stay anonymous. Call a goddamn press conference and name them.
I’m completely fed up with elected Representatives saying shit like, “Republicans will tell you behind closed doors that they don’t agree with what ICE is doing”.

New: Alex Pretti, the man killed by the Trump-Vance mob of agents was an outdoorsmen, a mountain biker, an ICU nurse who "would go out of his way to help," say Veterans Affairs colleagues.
Cheerful. Funny. Gentle.
And still, per sources, Trump officials are urging staff to call him a "terrorist."
