The Kennedy Center stunt is but the latest reminder that the American Experiment is a house of cards held together by a thin layer of a mildly adhesive substance that is aspirationally referred to as "laws" but more accurately described as "norms"

It may be easy to dismiss Justin Olson's comments that people with disabilities shouldn't get married as right-wing claptrap. But the American government discourages it because if people with disabilities get married, they risk losing their SSI benefits. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Real profiles in courage… 

Used to be able to buy quality green beans between $5 and $6 per lB. Now… 8 bucks on the low end, but more likely $9 to $10 a pound now. 

Biden was the kind of old where you take away the car keys. Trump is the kind of old where you don't let him near the grandchildren

According to the @dredf.bsky.social, several pieces of legislation have been introduced recently to address this issue, including the Marriage Equality for Disabled Adults Act and the Eliminating the Marriage Penalty in SSI Act, but these bills haven’t gotten any traction.

"Marriage isn't for disabled people" is an utterly insane thing to say.

you absolute fucking imbeciles

Reagan funded and armed death squads, left Americans to die during the AIDS crisis, destroyed the economic tools that built the 20th century, his allies committed treason in 1980 (at the bare minimum, above that Reagan might have been involved) and pioneered "own the libs" politics.

Believe Californians when they tell you that a California politician sucks.

Everyone's out here talking about what they'll do on The Day It Happens and I'd just like to say, think of the children! You gotta make sure they can get in on it too, so buy some sparkling cider or something for them. It's important that we all celebrate together.

An estimated 30 million civilians died in Europe in WWII before Germany was able to rebuild. An entire generation was destroyed. The United States is the strongest military superpower in human history. Humans may not survive a fully unbound and autocratic U.S.A., we must resist it here and now.

Once asked the Berlin area wife about this and she didn’t know what I was talking about. She then looked it up… Her: 🙄 Blah, of course… Bavarians.

Good thread for how to do alt text. Bsky makes it easier than many sites and there’s also a tag in this thread to use if you need a volunteer to do it for you. Please read. So many great pictures (and important news) with no alt text. Many like me won’t repost without it.

I have the best wife. An early Christmas gift… 😁

Write to your members of Congress to protect the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act. It should not be moved to Health and Human Services from Department of Education. HHS leadership are eugenicists who will catalogue and harm students with disabilities. actionnetwork.org/letters/prot...

Man… Those days of breezing through Disneyland and California Adventure in like 5 or 6 hours feels so long ago.

Sighted people can be so cute sometimes.

the men are gone and bored and traveling in groups and women and children are home alone and uh BAD

Hey man… even horrible racist awful bigots can’t say no to a yummy taco de al pastor…

Can’t wait to dig into these bad boys these next few weeks.

I cannot imagine the level of moral bankruptcy to describe the actions of people whose boat has just been hit by a missile from nowhere (this was the FIRST such strike) and who were most likely making a desperate attempt not to drown in the ocean as trying to "stay in the fight."

Imagine getting ready for your daughter to come home from her freshman year of college for Thanksgiving, and the day of departure she goes MIA, and then 48 nightmarish hours later she calls you to tell her that ICE goons kidnapped her and shipped her to Honduras www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/25/m...

Earl Grey. Iced.

Hey man. The cost of living is crazy. Everybody has a side hustle.

Now we know which businesses to boycott www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

Maxed out credit cards. Overdue rent. The looming threat of closure. I spent time at an LA car wash that has been battered by ICE raids to show how American businesses that depend on immigrant labor are fairing under Trump. www.latimes.com/world-nation...

Such petty juvenile clown ass behavior. 

And you thought chasing after your dog after it got out was a pain in the ass… 

Oh man. That feeling when you take two muscle relaxers by accident instead of just one… the struggle is real. 🥱😪  period. 

My kind of gym 🤗

marjorie taylor greene couldnt handle a single week experiencing 1% of the harassment that someone like ilhan omar probably experiences every day, in significant part because of her. she is weak and a coward and will rot in hell imo

What an incredible piece of reporting from my former colleague @lajourno.bsky.social, who spent months reporting how the state has under-investigated children working in harsh conditions in fields across California. Spend the time to read and hear from the children. www.latimes.com/california/s...

ten months into this presidency and hundreds of court cases later, it would be good to see one (1) regime attorney held to account by the courts

WTF!

Meanwhile, Trompistas are going around beating their chest over blowing up boats in the middle of the ocean that may or may not be running drugs.
