Mark Kelly's Double Tap

The Senate has passed a resolution aimed at ending President Donald Trump's tariffs on Brazil, with five Republicans joining Democrats in a rare bipartisan rebuke of the president over trade policy. The House is not expected to take it up. https://cnn.it/47cgdeq

Alt: a cartoon illustration of a wardrobe shaking lightly, when the doors open a rainbow bursts out. The words "NATIONAL COMING OUT DAY" appear as the rainbow "unfurls" from top to bottom of the gif.

Autism is a natural divergence from neurotypicality. It's normal & not the tragedy these clowns are making it out to be.
Transness is a natural divergence from cisnormativity. It's normal & not the tragedy these clowns are making it out to be.
Just deal with people being different than you.

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe.
And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

Sen. Ruben Gallego: "Ashli Babbitt was a traitor. She was a traitor to this country. She was part of a violent mob that tried to overthrow our democracy...She didn't die protecting our country. She died trying to turn it down...She wasn't a martyr. She was and is a traitor."

The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you’re overreacting.
Breaking News: President Trump said he was taking control of the police in Washington, D.C., and deploying 800 National Guard troops there in response to “out of control” crime — even though violent crime in the city has fallen. Follow live updates. nyti.ms/3H9yVcu

Let's go a step further than @schumer.senate.gov did in deleting the words "one big beautiful bill" from the Republican budget monstrosity. Let's all agree to call it, and all its ugly consequences, Trumpcare. www.offmessage.net/p/try-callin...

Today's breakfast is Sutab for an exam tomorrow. Calprotectin is back in the normal range from Sept. Still waiting on MRI results from last week. Hoping to hear the word "remission" shortly.
It's been a wild ride since mid-August last year.
