There are some threads on social media about 'disabled people not having babies.' one mentioned Sickle Cell disease. It was noted that Miles Davis had some form of this. What would the world miss if someone like him was never born. This is what you get when you promote Eugenics.

This is…brilliant.
In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

I found a big sign at the thrift shop with some live/laugh/love stuff on it, so I painted over that with my to-do list. Feel free to make it yours, too.

How do you address the health care workforce shortage?
the wrong answer is to make health care jobs more difficult to pay for. This seems to be counter to what I guess MAHA is.

How can there be Christians who support the US administration and those who oppose it? How can they tell which is which at parties? Or rallies?

ableism?
A reader asked the Ethicist: My neighbor's developmentally disabled son wails every afternoon. Homes in our pricey ZIP code are rarely on the market. If a new family moves in unaware, the noise could make their house unsalable. Should I warn the buyers? nyti.ms/4a6yhIA

Kristi Noem has told everyone that there are no U.S citizens being detained or deported & that’s a Blatant Lie like most of what comes out of her mouth. This is just a very short list of U.S. citizens that have been detained since January.

So apparently a conservative "journalist" attended the ZLuC over this past weekend, attended and live-streamed sessions without consent, and is trying to intimidate and dox attendees.

Here's the organizers' statement:

A restaurant in Denver, Colorado that gets an A+ for its staff and accommodation called Brew ability. They hire disabled people. They have round tables for sign language users. They have a flat floor. And a vibrating dance floor for music.
