Trump and his MAGA admin are doing whatever they can to make it harder on disabled people. I wonder how disabled MAGA supporters will feel about this.

I kept trying to come up with a joke about this, but (h/t Tom Lehrer) satire is obsolete when MTG is having a hearing on weather control with witnesses Pielke and Martz. No joke is funnier than reality.

2/ And just for the record, to those who keep insisting that, compared to Trump, GW Bush was just swell: NO. He tortured too. Back then you used the word. But somehow now Bush gets a pass. DO NOT NORMALIZE. They BOTH tortured.

Spain has imposed 9 sanctions on Israel for committing mass murder and starving people: "There is a difference between defending your country and bombing hospitals or starving innocent children. This is not self-defence. It is the extermination of a defenceless people."

Don’t get me wrong: if the science showed that telling people the world was ending + there’s nothing we can do about it actually catalyzed action, I’d be doing it with the best of them! (though definitely NOT attacking others to do so.) However, what science shows is *exactly the opposite*. Read:

I’m genuinely curious to know how #socialists think about Trump controlling the means of production. On one hand it’s nice to see taxpayers get a return on corporate welfare. On the other he’s a crook. I’m thinking #capitalism v #socialism is the wrong question these days. The more important […]
