They don’t. They think we should hide them away and they shouldn’t have to treat them as humans or members of society. They’re ableist ghouls and they only ever find out how the world works when stuff affects them directly. I pray for a day when America stops reveling in its hateful selfishness.

"Bovino is basically leading a rebel cavalry, a la Confederate Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest, who raided and terrorized communities in...the Civil War. That latter analogy holds up particularly well in one specific respect: Forrest became the first Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan after the war."

Thank you! It is harder than it has to be, especially now thanks to this admin gutting the supports for both parents and children. We do what we need to, in order to help our children thrive as best we can anyway.

My daughter is 22 and aging out this year. I’m horribly afraid of what the future holds for her and everyone else who depends on Medicaid funded programs with these horrible people in charge.

Relatedly, shout out to all my fellow caregivers taking care of a parent with Alzheimer’s. Our journey just ended but as with Kevin’s post, the truth is this:

You never know how strong you are until you have to be.

To claim that these files will have nothing good in them and that this isn’t really a win at all is both short-sighted and selfish.

This is a fucking enormous win for the survivors. This is the beginning of an accountability that they never thought they would see because Epstein was so protected. 🧵

The Democratic sweep earlier this month weakened Trump.

Help Democrats flip the House and we will cut Trump’s radical, harmful agenda in half.

as a reporter, the part of this that i’ve simply never understood is how the next person to ask a question when he does something like this doesn’t simply repeat the question that set him off. it’s not just solidarity with your colleague, it’s an important question that remains worth asking
I’m not going to pretend it’s easy to say something in the moment when you witness the president do this and you’re aboard Air Force One with all the uniformed officers and secret service and fancy wood accents, but this is really an instance where you should. people.com/donald-trump...

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

This is so powerful!
As a survivor of abuse, I'm astounded that any Congressional rep would protect pedophiles, but almost the entire Republican party want to protect Trump & the pedophile billionaires & elites while screwing us out of healthcare!
