Disability benefits aren’t “extra” money. They’re the bare minimum to survive in a world that disables us—through poverty, inaccessibility, and neglect. Cutting them isn’t reform. It’s state-sanctioned harm. Please support us. #DisabilityBenefits #WelfareNotWorkfare

If you’re on #DisabilityBenefits, it’s ok to have hobbies, holidays, food deliveries, and so on. Benefits exist so disabled people can live safely, independently, with quality of life. Don’t let government rhetoric make you feel guilty for existing.

7 out of the 14 questions in Trump's press briefing today were given to Peter Doocy from Fox News. The room was packed with journalists.
All of Doocy's questions were clearly phrased & intended to allow Trump to talk about the topics he wanted.
MAGA propaganda facilitation cascading as journalism.

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA.
Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps.
Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems.
See how this works?

We collectively haven’t been taking the plans laid out by Project 2025 seriously enough. They want to destroy NOAA so people won’t know that climate change is happening. It sounds stupid and alarmist if you haven’t been paying attention.
Project 2025 plan calls for demolition of NOAA and National Weather Service
The call to dismantle the United States' vital weather department has raised the hackles of experts who say NOAA provides not only important free data but also life-saving information.

A reminder that in 2010 the Bloody Sunday inquiry found
- the killings were unjustified
- none of the 14 dead (7 of whom were children) had guns
- no warnings were given
- no soldiers were under threat
- the troops were the first to open fire
43 years on, we await the first prosecution.
