there's a certain way certain people write fiction about disability that really sets my teeth on edge, and it's an approach that I can only describe as 'educational hugboxing'
in this, portrayal of disability must be constantly affirming, and it must use specific and correct terminology

No one in media should let the world forget all of these men and their party made uncovering the secret pedophile cult of Epstein not only a central part of their advocacy but framed it as an existential crisis to humanity
Trump: "This whole thing with Epstein is a way to try to deflect from the tremendous success of the Republican Party ... I thought that was finished ... a lot of people are very angry that this continues."

it is not possible for random assholes in line to tell whether someone is able bodied or not.
the bad outcome in these situations is when someone who has a disability doesn't take advantage of the service because they worry about being judged. (this happens all the time.)

I have a scooter. I can walk. I can't, however, walk through 80 miles of airport. I can walk onto an airplane or through hallways. I can't walk the .5 mile to the convention center.

one of the ways that Joe Manchin was very damaging to the Dem party as a whole was the way he'd go on television all the time to talk about how the rest of his party sucked
nobody should ever make the mistake of thinking MTG is on their side but "Republican on TV saying Republicans suck" is helpful

On that last post: I genuinely cannot think of any good-faith reason to bar international adoptions from those 39 countries. Under this new ban, consulates will refuse adoption visas for any baby from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nigeria, or any of the 39 other countries.

It is bizarre to me that the same people always telling us about "thermostatic public opinion" do not take it into account when offering strategic advice!
The public is, predictably, herding in a pro-immigration direction. Imagine if Dems had just *stayed there*, stalwart, ready to meet them.

there are pundits who will say that immigration is trump's strongest issue and that picking fights around immigration helps him on the margins. but i think this misunderstands the way public opinion works, as evidenced by trump's declining fortunes on his handling of immigration.

Indiana’s Senate has voted AGAINST the GOP gerrymander that’d have locked in a 9-0 map.
This keeps the 7-2 map in place, saving two Democratic seats heading into 2026.
The vote failed big, 19/31.
The MAJORITY of the GOP senators opposed it!
