If you see these images: Please do not pity their disability but let their bravery inspire you. We as a society failed and took away the dignity of disabled people.
This is the reality of what it means being disabled. Yes, even in places with socialized healthcare.
Let this radicalize you 🧱

Sierra Matthews lives in a small Missouri town, works in the public school system, raises two young sons, and has no health insurance.
She falls below the poverty line. Medicaid isn’t a handout. It’s her lifeline.
Take it away, there is no fallback!

This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.

My daughter, drawing: “this is a pirate”
Me: “oh does he have a sword?”
Daughter: “*HE*?!?!?!?!?”
Kid is learning early how to call out my implicit biases, good for her!

There are no distractions. It's all bad. Systematically stripping trans people of their rights, guys in balaclavas shoving any brown person with a tattoo into a ummarked vans, ending healthcare for millions. It's all in service of fascism and technofeudalism. It's all one thing. That's the point.

Therapy is less about change, imo, than it is about re-integrating forgotten/disavowed parts of ourselves.
It’s about *becoming* ourselves, rather than changing who we are.

Just finished up at the Evanston No Kings rally. It was safe, peaceful, and a show of solidarity by *at least* 1,000 people.
Go to your local protest. Don’t let this administration scare you. Stand with your community when our leaders won’t.

I'm on my way to the Senate floor to talk about the assault on my colleague, Senator Alex Padilla.
This is a horrifying moment in our nation’s history.

This is the spirit of Los Angeles.
This is California.
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

I ruined the Proud Boys’ press conference 😂
Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio tried to give a press conference to announce his lawsuit against DOJ. Much to my surprise it turned out to be the greatest press conference of all-time.

we picked up the seven year old from school today and he was in tears and when he was eventually able to tell us why it turns out he learned about trash getting into the ocean and hurting his favorite animals (like seals) and it was incredibly upsetting

In Massachusetts, Medicaid covers almost 2 million people. A third of all newborn babies and their mamas. Over a third of all kids. Two-thirds of all nursing home residents. So understand this: when the GOP tries to gut Medicaid, they attack communities all over our Commonwealth.
