Every governor should be doing this. Right now.
Gov. JB Pritzker signed an executive order that formally restricts the unauthorized collection of autism-related data by state agencies.
Pritzker’s order responds to federal efforts under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to create databases of personal information for those with autism.

This should be the easiest boycott ever and if you can’t even satisfy this baseline level of solidarity then you have no right to question why we are all now under the gun.
You all need to treat Harry Potter IP like we’re treating the Tesla brand.

1. Incredible ruling! An Ohio appeals court has ruled that trans care is healthcare, strikes down youth trans care ban!
It made the ruling using the Republican-passed "health care freedom amendment" meant to overturn Obamacare!

If this actually happens -- which one always has to add in response to things he says -- there is nothing remotely legal about it.

super bowl ad
not even kidding about this, do a super bowl ad about how Elon has your social security number and can shut off your grandma's check at any time

Maybe someone with the means to do so should take out a full-page ad in as many newspapers as they can that just says “ELON MUSK HAS YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER”
"I just want to be clear about what's going on here."

The "common" idea about disabled people is that we're a drain on resources. Even a lot of folks on the left see it that way, but the right very blatantly wants us to die because they took "survival of the fittest" as a physical challenge.
A reporter directly asked Trump press secretary if disabled people still have a place in federal jobs and whether they still have protections.
Her answer? “We will be taking a common sense approach”
Please stand with disabled people. Fight for us to maintain jobs, accessibility & the ADA

reminder: this is the point of the barrage of batshit appointments
if you are a tiny bit freaked out by each of them it will add up to “too freaked out to do anything about anything”
pick ONE thing at a time to be upset about, decide what action to take on it, then follow through, repeat

the 278 unbelievable things happening per day are a planned emotional DDOS attack; the shitbirds are counting on you perpetually being too glued to the latest thing to do anything about the previous thing
suggestion: pick one action to take per week, in advance, and do it no matter what news breaks

It seems bad that a Nazi salute at a presidential inauguration by the president's best friend won't be the top headline for a week the rest it should be
i don't think the people that are going "holy shit that was a nazi salute" are mostly all that surprised. i think they are saying: i am marking this because it will be denied
