The one thing every single one of us can count on in this life is that you will become disabled.
The only variable is whether it happens at birth, in old age, or somewhere in between

Yall real silent about disability injustices because most of you don’t see disability as a thing that can happen to you.
We are “aww those poor people”. Meanwhile disability can happen to anyone at any moment and those injustices you ignored? They become your experiences too

This is the thing. I've met the guy, he's shopped at my store, I've spoken with his staff. He and they are great! But he's just this guy
The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

It really does seem like there's a decent chance that these senators screwed us because they don't want their personal Thanksgiving plans to be disrupted.
Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

After seeing @tiffanycaban.bsky.social's proposed Amanda's Law I feel like I read headlines about police who cause traffic deaths every day
Last night in Tampa, cops used a controversial and risky technique called a PIT maneuver while chasing a driver who'd sped away from a street race
The PIT maneuver failed. The driver sped away, losing control, and crashing into an LGBTQ+ bar killing 4 people and injuring 13

It’s extremely frustrating that when the Trump administration does one good thing like phasing out the Penny they do it in the most half assed way possible that creates a nightmare for businesses

I can get the point of this law if I squint. Is Aldi getting around it by not specifically saying their $40 Thanksgiving feast is for SNAP recipients but just anyone affected by the government shutdown?
The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

The Republican candidate challenging our incumbent Dem City council rep (who I don't love but wygd) is claiming that our district is one of the "bluest" in the city so her 26% of the vote is remarkable. I can't decide if she's delusional or lying or both.
