I just have to say for those of you not in LA that in the days before the horrible raids started, there was no crisis or whatever they would let you believe. It wasn't like something was escalating out of control and somebody had to step in. THEY are creating the problems.

The number of people unwilling to wear a mask to the grocery store (or pull the trolley lever) has been a shockingly huge disappointment.
It’s such a simple act of kindness.
It’s compassion for yourself and your fellow humans.
It’s solidarity with disabled people.
Wear a mask. Save a life.

I think of masking and COVID awareness as "selfish altruism". I do it mostly to protect myself and my loved ones, and to protect others as well. There is no "virtue signaling", since I would do this anyway, for my selfish own good.
Do it for yourself, or for others. Just do it.

🧵 Today's revocation of Harvard's ability to enroll international is awful for many reasons, chief among them the human cost as @jeremywallace.bsky.social notes. It's also an attack on the US economy. But maybe less obvious: it is terrible national security policy. It makes Americans less safe. 1/
6800 people who already probably have leases for next year, spent years of their lives working to get to where they were now upended because Trump and Noem and Stephen Miller want to crush a major export sector of this economy, oh, and also a source of cures for diseases and knowledge of all sorts.

I don't think any single piece of information has ever radicalised me like reading the statistics on how many women have their husbands/boyfriends dump them because they got a terminal illness diagnosis
Among heterosexual couples over age 50, research finds that divorce rates increase significantly when the wife develops a serious illness but the husband does not; however, no such increase is seen when husbands fall ill but wives do not. www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/soci...

I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?

You can eat all organic food, drink green juice every day, do yoga, get vitamin D and touch grass… and still become disabled.
Wellness culture can’t save you from disability. What’s worse, most wellness “gurus” will blame you when you become ill.
Wellness culture is toxic & eugenics adjacent.

It's the first known instance in Trump's second term of DOJ prosecuting a local official for allegedly interfering with immigration enforcement.

The stock market is collapsing, and that means the retirement savings of everyday Americans are disappearing by the hour. This is all because of Trump's reckless mismanagement of the economy. Now, these tariffs that are being imposed will raise the cost of goods for everyday Americans.
