The Trump administration announced this week it will shut down six of eight U.S. Forest Service research facilities in California as part of a major national reorganization that could leave the state underequipped to manage escalating wildfire and drought threats.

Camp East Montana in El Paso is currently under quarantine following a measles outbreak and cases of tuberculosis. My breaking story:

Black men do not hang themselves from trees.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps. If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Every one of the journalists arrested by the regime in last 24 hours was Black and that is not a coincidence.

The Trump administration has carried out dozens of lethal strikes off the coast of Venezuela killing over 126 people, including Chad Joseph and Rishi Samaroo. We’re suing this administration to get justice for the families of the people our government murdered.

xbox live took stronger action against jeffrey epstein than the entire us government

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners. Decide. Who are you?

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Turns out that you can simply chose not to sell your warehouse and prevent it from becoming a detention center www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

A Gwich'in man from Inuvik in the Northwest Territories says he was temporarily detained by United States border agents last week when they demanded he produce blood-quantum documentation.

"We are supposed to have our constitutional right of the freedom to film, to be a member of the press. I don’t feel like I have my First Amendment right as a member of the press," Georgia Fort said. https://bit.ly/4qcOQHt

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you." The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?" "Learned what?" she asks Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it. The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait. At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

A typhoon hit Alaska -- displacing over 1,000 people, washing away homes and entire communities. And why isn't this all over the news? They're Indigenous communities. Happy Indigenous People Day.

Dear parents of autistic kids, The only thing you did to cause your kid's autism is f***. Good talk.

According to the "big beautiful bill," Planned Parenthood can no longer bill Medicaid. Millions of people lose access to essential healthcare, without notice.

The autistic community deserves to be heard! I'm heading to DC to represent Autistic Women & Nonbinary Network at the Autism Roundtable. HHS now has an autism registry. The same HHS Director has publicly stigmatized our community.

Science does not work like this. The only way you can set a timeline is if you have rigged the results in advance.

Such a long week I haven't circulated my own work! Minnesota lawmakers are taking up thorny question of creating minimum safety & quality standards for a questionable autism 'therapy' that appeals more to private equity than to #actuallyautistic people. @autistictyping.bsky.social has thoughts.

Last week, I watched a TikTok from a man who was convicted of a crime and he negotiated for a longer sentence so that he could serve his sentence on a California fire camp and ultimately have a slightly shorter sentence. 1/

Hey so, what the fuck !

Help? Can I edit a post to add alt text?

There are no bad feelings! Yes, some feel bad in the moment. Yes, some are challenging, some are motivating. Yes, some may drive us to act in ways that we don't want to act. All feelings are important, all feelings deserve to be recognized, validated, respected, processed.

My girlfriend is an electrician and I help her study sometimes. I am really good at smiling and being a pretty pretty princess while she is verrry smart.

Are there any disability justice starter packs?

Please call your reps as soon as possible opposing HR 9495 which would give the Secretary of the Treasury unilateral ability to strip nonprofits of their 501(c)3 status if they are deemed “to be a “terrorist-supporting” organization.” It’s a 21st century Alien and Sedition Act.

I don't love when I post about Indigenous issues and then non-Indigenous people of any given political affiliation swoop in to tell me that I am taking side with a political affiliation that they don't like. 1/

🗣️🇨🇦‼️ — We believe all Ojibways & Indigenous nations from the south must be afforded the same rights of northern Ojibways & Indigenous nations that are recognized by the United States, but in Canada; for example, the right to work, live & learn visa-free & free of any discrimination. #IndigenousRights

What are all the alt government departments on bluesky? @altnps.bsky.social joined today.

No one told him he's supposed to select a cabinet, not a junk drawer?

I'm so excited to join the Office of National Autism Coordination (ONAC) to discuss Understanding Autism in Indigenous Communities, this Friday November 15th. Register: bit.ly/4hFKR2S #Native #Indigenous #NativeAmerican #autism #disability

Torn between wanting to pretend I'm just in the wrong timeline of the multiverse and wanting to be informed.

Good morning babes and badasses. Who should I be following on here for content related to intersectional liberation and disability justice?
