For what are we, if not bound together by the quiet covenant of shared humanity?
Strength means little if it is used only to lift oneself; it becomes noble only when it lifts another.

Today is the anniversary of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Not only did the law literally open doors to countless students with disabilities (myself included), it also had the unintended consequence of creating the moral panic around an autism "epidemic." 🧵 1/

Stephen Miller on Fox threatens to arrest JB Pritzker for "seditious conspiracy" and says, "to all ICE officers: you have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. And anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop or obstruct you is committing a felony."

Does your Christian church have a plan to help the community when SNAP benefits don’t go out in November?
If not, you’re at the wrong church.

Nothing sums up America under Republican rule like turning a place of history and strength into a strip mall food court.

Trump’s Chicago post is not bluster but a declaration of civil war imagery. Helicopters, fire, and talk of invasion expose his desire to unleash the military on Americans, turning cities into battlegrounds for his dictatorship.
Trump threatens Department of War invasion of Chicago in menacing post
President Donald Trump ramped up his threats to enact a federal takeover of Chicago, Illinois on Saturday after sharing an image on social media depicting an AI-generated version of himself standing in front the city’s skyline, with military helicopters flying overhead and flames burning in the back...

Beating myself up for a lack of imagination. Never considered Nebraska would just *give* a prison to Trump.
The prison system is chronically overcrowded and understaffed, and the Legislature can't pass sentencing reform to alleviate those problems.
This scenario just never registered in my brain.

Back in the day, Lena Horne's studio would film her in scenes separate from the rest of the cast. That way, her part could be removed when the movie was shown in the South without sacrificing continuity. That is the world Trump would like to take us back to & why he's *obsessed* with removing DEI.

How much does it cost for fascism? is a great line
Question for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain people—How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?
