So now they are openly advocating for my murder and those like me. Cool cool cool cool cool
If this comes to pass are folks just going to be walking in the streets with signs about it as they haul me away? Is anyone going to stand up and protect me? Or are we going to abide by civility while the monster slowly picks us all off?

Trump to FAA workers: “The beatings will continue until morale improves.” The irony is, most are retiring, so good luck finding replacements.

Disabled people don't need to be "inspirational" or "strong" to deserve support and respect.
There should be no hierarchy, no superiority...
All humans are worthy of support and compassion.

Disabled folk don’t just deserve survival.
They deserve love, support, compassion, respect…
And to have the means and ability to live the best quality of life possible for them, in their circumstances.
This should be the bare minimum.

A Burger King customer insists on misgendering and berating an employee, then lodges a complaint against the employee for standing up for herself.
Many of these workers aren’t making enough to feed themselves, yet they have to feed bigots who claim to be “first amendment lawyers”.

Every time I'm so alarmed at the sorry state of basic US civic education that I'm inspired to write a book about how the federal government works—I know exactly what and how I'd write; not a desk-reference tome, not a dummies—I remember that it's because so many folks won't read we're where we are.

This clip will be forever burned into my brain. When @sanders.senate.gov told them they would be killing 51,000 people with their vote and they did it anyway. It was like watching him beg for mercy at a public execution.

If you think the people throwing Great Gatsby-esque parties for themselves, while millions were denied their food assistance, are all of a sudden going to grow a conscience and save affordable healthcare, you clearly have not been paying attention.

People think there’s such a thing as a “good illness” because of the puritanical obsession with suffering. If you do it and come out the other side, you must be chill with god, yeah?
Orrrr disease has no inherent morality and abled people need to let go of comforting ableist narratives. A thought.

This and the airline industry lobbyists are what did it. Not Americans starving and paying twice as much for healthcare.

Why does Elon have such low self esteem? Is he aware at some level how poor his judgement is? Or is it his appearance? Insufficient parental affection?
It just doesn’t make sense he could be occupying himself with constant hedonism and not mind the rest of the world. But he doesn’t. Why?
