This targeting of disabled people is purposeful and part of Project 2025. The white christian nationalist ideology on disability is rooted in prosperity gospel. It says if god wants you healed you will be and if you aren't it is a moral failing and your fault. The orange reich hates disabled

RFK Jr. said multiple times during his house and senate hearings today that no scientists have been fired from federal agencies. Our reporting has shown that hundreds, if not thousands, of scientists have been let go from NIH/CDC/FDA

“The notion that I or any of my colleagues ‘body slammed’ armed federal officers is absurd. DHS is lying because they know their agents were out of line.”

Ask yourself why RFKjr wants a database of people with autism. He plans on forced human experimentation to test quack cures. They want test subjects and they don't expect volunteers.

Scoop: Democrats have introduced an official inquiry into the decision to closure of the Administration for Community Living, which helps disabled and aging adults remain independent. New from me at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Democrats launch inquiry into dismantling of Administration for Community Living
RFK Jr. moved shutter the agency, which serves disabled and aging adults, in March.

Not all “Hands Off” events were in-person. I attended two virtual events centering chronically ill and disabled people for @motherjones.com, who are terrified about attacks to Medicaid, Section 504, research funding, education and more. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
For some disabled protestors, “Hands Off” went virtual

I’m a big man who rides the subway every night because I’m not a terrified hysterical neurotic
Sean Duffy: "The truth is, transit across America is dangerous. And these liberals -- liberal mayors -- they want everybody out of cars and into trains but they made the trains unsafe so nobody really wants to ride them ... even big men don't want to ride the subway at those times of night."

I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

Just to give you a sense of the political breadth of today’s #HandsOff event in DC today, I would like to note that there were people carrying the flag of Greenland there today.

To the world:
We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

—With love,
Your American allies.

On the very same day the tariffs hit, Danish shipping giant AP Møller-Maersk bought a railway connecting ports at either end of the Panama Canal—undermining Trump’s other imperialist plan.
Denmark Just Took Hillbilly JD Vance to the Woodshed
That was just about the worst vice presidential trip abroad ever.
