Ableism is not welcome in my feed.
No eugenics.
No ableist slurs and ESPECIALLY no defending them with "well they're an awful person so it's okay to use a bigoted slur about them."
No images without alt text or a request for someone to write it.
My feminism is intersectional or it's bullshit.

Something I really want to capture in my writing is how there is a disconnect between how many historians use the term "eugenics" and how disabled activists use "eugenics," yet disabled activists aren't just using it as a scare word or a synonym for ableism.

Three years ago, my New Year's resolution was to donate to more strike funds. That one stuck.

In no specific order, here are all the issues with this requirement that come to mind in like 2 minutes before my break ends:
1. Requiring all recipients to reapply will need to happen over time not all at once to have a chance at not crushing state office's. Watch closely how it plays out

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.
But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.
A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

I have read - from people who believe in their own seriousness - that the Traitor 8's capitulation was actually 7-dimensional chess, because once a bunch of people have their hospitals close and family members die, they'll see that they need to vote for Democrats from now on.
i don’t think people realize how straight up delusional a solid proportion of democratic senators are regarding our politics. i don’t mean that as hyperbole. they are actually untethered from reality
I think this helpfully confirms the notion that the end of the filibuster was a big motivator for the eight Dems.
