Theologically, viewing disability through finitude risks flattening it; turning concrete experiences into vague abstractions. “We’re all disabled” may sound profound, but it can erase real struggles, silence critique, and sidestep how ableism structures society and theology alike.

Happy Memorial Day to federal judges applying settled law, against whom Trump is encouraging stochastic terrorism.

In a functioning democracy this would produce an aggressive response, but Trump is right that neither a majority of Congress nor a majority of SCOTUS will do anything about it.

"good people on both sides"

...

good for the grift, maybe. When will enough be enough?
I can see situations where the DSCC chair properly threatens Dems out of line with the Dem base.

Promoting crypto is not one of those issues. It's something a handful of donors want; the base considers it a scam and the "crypto policy" more gifts for billionaires.

Gillibrand should be removed.
👀 This is beyond repulsive.

@kirstengillibrand.bsky.social’s chief of staff is reportedly intimidating staffers of other Sen. Dems over her support of Trump Republicans shady crypto bill (GENIUS Act) by waving her chairmanship of DSCC.

Buck ultimately stops w Schumer who keeps enabling Gillibrand.

CALL YOUR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS & TELL THEM NO CUTS TO SOCIAL SECURITY. NOT ONE PENNY: 202-224-3121!
AARP sent a message to their members today. I encourage everyone who received it to take action. Washington responds when seniors speak up, and now is the time to get loud.

People who can’t imagine the world from the perspective of other people in a different situation have a cognitive disability and should be kept away from important decisions.

Two quick things this morning:

1. State AG's are trying to declare section 504 (disability rights) unconstitutional. It's targeting trans people but will harm everyone. dredf.org/protect-504/

2. Learn more about legal fuckery like this from my favorite podcast:

Musk has ordered the closure of 25 Indian Affairs offices. Indigenous in the US are calling it the new "trail of tears." Osage in Oklahoma have declared war on Doge. This action by Trump gives significant insight into conservative plans for Indigenous in North America.

A federally funded database helps track long-term, missing-person cases. Yet an NPR investigation finds that even in states legally required to use it, more than 2,000 people haven't been added.
Benita Long disappeared. So why wasn't she added to this missing person database?

OMG someone call the burn ward. "... your spirit animal is a golden retriever." <ouchie>.
You’re so colonized…

…your Status Card doesn’t have an expiration date.
…right wingers call you ‘one of my best friends’ when they get in trouble.
…all your bannock is vegan.
…your spirit animal is a golden retriever.
The game involves each player finding ways to prove how decolonized they are—and perhaps most importantly, how colonized their opponent is—and then announcing it on social media so as many people as possible can read it.

♿Social Security is NOT just for Seniors. It's also for people like me with Disabilities, people who receive Survivors Benefits & Veterans who receive Social Security benefits.

Before I became disabled, I PAID into the program with EVERY paycheck. There are MILLIONS more like me & it is OUR MONEY!♿

Do you know what I have to mark when I mark my race? Other. I am other because I am not a full-blooded Native. Other, and my ancestors have been here 10,000's of years. But, I am OTHER.
So, pick your words carefully.

If you haven’t already, get “5calls”, get “resistbot”, and start communicating with your elected officials. Don’t wait. Get involved. At every level. Let them know this is not okay.

After 49 years incarcerated for a crime he did not commit, today Native American political prisoner Leonard Peltier is finally going home to the Turtle Mountain Reservation. He never lost hope and kept his spirits high.
