"The threat to the state-based groups' funding comes as the Trump administration seeks to force more people with mental illness or addictions into institutions. ... [T]he groups have legal authority to go into facilities where people with disabilities live, to check conditions and treatment."
The Trump administration is trying to slash access to lawyers who defend the rights of Americans with disabilities, advocates say. Most of the lawyers work either for the Department of Justice or for disability rights agencies that Congress set up in every state decades ago.
Trump Budget Cuts Threaten Access to Disability Rights Lawyers

Giving Jillian Segal even more influence over Australian policy when she still hasn't denounced far-right group "Advance" (which she bankrolls) is extremely poor governing.

It's over five months since Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal made headlines for being one of the biggest funders of highly divisive, far-right political lobby group "Advance".
She has at all times refused to denounce Advance, its bigotry and racist hate.

Listened to an episode of Code Switch today that reminded me of the obsession with “objectivity” in mainstream journalism. Like with research, it’s time to embrace that nothing is objective. All reporting requires choices that mean making a subjective decision. 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️

There's that one interview where he talks about sleeping with an overweight woman because his friends dared him to. Cruel, disgusting behaviour. I feel like it's sexual assault to have sex with someone for a laugh. They wouldn't have consented if they knew they were a joke to you.

One of the foundational laws of conservativism is that parents own their children, and the concept of a minor to them is one of earning the right to self-ownership (which remains a privilege in their eyes even after adulthood) rather than guardianship as a means to cultivate natural self ownership.

In the original you’re aware of the horror of falling, but the body positions of the workers are solid on the beam. Here, most of them should be falling off, yet they don’t, because they live in an unreal, consequence-free space.
