Like, John Oliver helped to explain how banning trans people in sports is a slippery slope more than 4 months ago. I wish more people would see it.

best example I've heard of the social model was a Blind speaker pointing out that indoor lighting is an accommodation for sighted people.

Reminder: autism is a disability.
If that bothers you and you want to argue, take a moment to consider why you find it upsetting.
What accommodations do you have that allow you that privilege?
What's so bad about being disabled?
Why would you deny the difficulties so many autistic people face?

I’m sounding the alarm to anyone, regardless of party affiliation, who cares about democracy. Subscribe. Read. Restack. Share my latest @SubstackInc article: therealmichaelcohen.substack.com/p/trumpism-d...
"Trumpism Doesn’t Compromise- It Consumes"
What’s unfolding isn’t politics as usual; it’s the deliberate capture of every map, court, and cultural institution to guarantee one party’s rule for a generation.

If we want to support alternative transportation, then we need people who use alternatives on the boards that guide decision making.
If we want to support renters, they need to be on boards.

#BRC remember, this isn’t your parents’ Conservative Party. This party has become extreme, populist & manufactures hate, disinformation & lies. Loyalty to this party equals a steep plummet backward for you & our country. Vote for the person who will actually be accountable to you. That’s not PP.

@charlieangus104.bsky.social you are my new Canadian hero! Keep fighting for us! Can't wait until your segment on MTN gets going!
Canadians are polite until we are we are not. What makes us not polite is fascism. We fought them on the streets of Toronto in 1933. We fought them in Spain. Long before America joined the war we fought them.
When you tell us we don't have a right to a country or kidnap our people we will fight back

This is a BIG deal and people need to be following this - If it goes to the Supreme Court, it could allow states to go over the FDA and ban whatever medication they want to ban. (including hormones/surgeries for trans people)
A federal appeals court recently upheld West Virginia's insidious medication abortion ban. For @truthout.org, I wrote about what that means, its long-term implications, and why everyone who can get pregnant should purchase medication abortion now. truthout.org/articles/fed...
Federal Appeals Court Upheld West Virginia Ban on Medication Abortion. Now What?
If the Supreme Court gets involved, it could set national precedent for states to ban medications approved by the FDA.
