Also, people going hard for Newsom, who are never, ever from California, have you noticed how many of the people who hate him are FROM California? THAT'S B/C WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ELECT GAVIN NEWSOM AS THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS & IT IS VERY NOT GREAT & WE ARE TRYING TO TELL YOU TO AVOID THAT.

Memo is back.

🧵When you know what to look for you know ableism/racism/eugenics/fascism made extraordinary gains off the Covid pandemic. The danger of the wellness industry is about so much more than just grifting. It’s the entryway to a lot of awfulness & so many people on the left fell for it hook line & sinker

Gavin Newsom spent the last 7 years doing the bidding of big tech. You can blame him for many of the harms we're now suffering. We have spent the last 7 years trying to keep our unhoused neighbors alive despite Newsom's best efforts to make more people homeless while he and his friends get richer.

In 2014, the New York Times said about a Black boy murdered by a cop with his hands up, "Michael Brown, 18, due to be buried on Monday, was no angel". PLEASE do not whitewash the past to emphasize how bad the present is. If we erase the past and Black lives, we have already lost. Stop it.

ICE has murdered THIRTY TWO PEOPLE in detention centers. Four in the last week. www.msn.com/en-us/news/c...

This is the kind of thing that the Founders explicitly designed our constitution to prevent; a president who has seized wealth for his own benefit without any intervention from Congress, which in our system is supposed to be the holder of the power of the purse.

feeding human-written papers to the plagiarism machine is TRAINING THE PLAGIARISM MACHINE

BREAKING: Fox News has confirmed that when it reported that no people were killed during attacks on Venezuela, it meant no white people were killed. Over 80 brown people were killed, but Fox doesn't care about those ♥️

Dick Cheney funeral draws big Dem names Biden, Harris, Maddow — while Trump and Vance get benched

Dick Cheney is a war criminal. To see people like Rachel Maddow attend the funeral of a guy she once called a war criminal says lots about the MSM today. And then there's people like Nancy Pelosi & other high profile Democrats. The sanitization of a war criminal is gross. Look at this! 👇🏽

democrats were lining up to honor dick fucking cheney -- including lib pundits like maddow

Watching the same MSNBC talking heads melt down over Venezuela like they weren’t at Dick Cheney’s funeral weeks ago is really something.

this is a state sponsored terrorist operation being laid out on an american and every one in ICE needs to be treated as if they are terrorists after trumps regime is over

“Deplorables” was a scandal for years and she wasn’t even in the government yet. This is the White House Press Secretary, whose salary is paid by the American public.

Stranger Things finale needed some editing 🥱

“I’m honored to be your ancestor and believe that disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don’t let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.”

From the oldest survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre to the youngest of the Freedom Riders, the world said goodbye in 2025 to people who changed our world. Watch Allison J. Davis's video tribute: bit.ly/3KLjBof

“you can’t be supportive of the 9/11 responders without also being supportive of Long Covid. Both environmental harms cause similar issues in people, and there are many of us that are double victims.”

No one randomly owes you information about their health, their loved one’s health, or, understandably, just wanting to avoid Covid, which is the only way to prevent Long Covid.

Jon Favreau (see #PodSaveJon) and Tim Miller (see #SaltingTheVibes) have a history of mocking people who are masking or concerned about C19. This is a pattern for them.

Social media can be a cruel place. Amidst all the muck, there are glimmers of hope. I wrote about disabled outrage and a recent hashtag I created on Twitter #PodSaveJon disabilityvisibilityproject.com/2024/01/02/d...

The #PodSaveJon tag feels relevant for the #OneofTwo thread since we have two liberal talking heads using precious airtime to punch down on a growing marginalized class (who are disabled as a direct result of a bipartisan project to dismantle public health in favor of the ruling capitalist class).

Trump's DOJ was monitoring all the movements of the Miami Herald reporter who was covering the Epstein case.

Photographer Danelle Manthey frames the practice of Christmas decoration as a kind of folk art in the book “American Christmas.” Peace on earth and installation art for all!

RFK: “Where did all this autism come from? It never existed when I was a kid!” “A Christmas Story”, a 1983 movie based on a 1971 memoir about a childhood in the 1930s: “This is my brother Ralphie. He has a ton of sensory issues and behaviors we don’t understand. Every family has a child like him.”

it's taken me a while to put this together. but I hope, if you've never heard of her, or even if you have, this tribute to Alice Wong buoys your heart and gives you a good sense of who this incredible person was. www.coyotemedia.org/remembering-...

Rudolph is a pick me 😏

So I have the cover story in next month's TNR. I interviewed the heads of police groups; immigration defense attorneys, ex-judges and ex-prosecutors; former DOJ and DHS officials, and the former head of Border Patrol. They're all horrified at what we've seen, and they all fear what's coming.

Did you know that if you don’t tip the gate attendants who wheel you around in the “courtesy” wheelchairs, you risk being just abandoned and other horrible ableist nonsense? NOBODY FAKES DISABILITY ITS NOT SPECIAL TREATMENT WE PAY MORE FOR LESS

Not reading this ableist shit but as someone who has “jetway jesused,” did you know Covid is causing a dramatic increase in POTS, a condition that can make it impossible to stand in one place without fainting, but may otherwise allow you to walk just fine?

Anyone who watched the Great British Baking Show Mexican week episode has known exactly how these colonizers feel about Mexican baking. They made tacos FFS when a concha was RIGHT THERE.

I think that we are all underestimating how terrible the economy is going to be next year. A lot of the impact(s) of the horror bill will come on line in the next couple of years.

By the way, this has been the Democrats party for decades. They’ve skated by for years on this “at least we’re not republicans” bullshit, meanwhile enabling them at every turn. This is just the time during which you can ill afford their feckless ways.

“The purpose of healthcare has increasingly become profit-making rather than a public service.”

Ohtani speaking for all of us saying "I want to go to sleep as soon as possible."

The San Andreas fault has the chance to do the funniest thing ever right now

Do I have to run at the next commercial to put the trash cans out or do we think we can beat @lacitysan.bsky.social tomorrow morning 🤣

Good News: we secured a court order blocking the Trump Admin from discontinuing millions of dollars in critical school-based mental health grant funding for our state. The decision gives thousands of students in CA a fair shot at accessing crucial mental health services while our lawsuit continues.

SNAP, the country's largest anti-hunger program, dates back to the Great Depression and has never been disrupted this way. Most recipients are seniors, families with kids, and those with disabilities.

what will remain of the U.S. public sector is prison guards, ICE violence workers, soldiers and cops.

One of the key ways you refuse to comply with fascism is by becoming even louder and more fearless in supporting vulnerable people. You SHOW that you are unwilling to throw the "undesirables" under the bus if only for self-preservation because under fascism you will also become undesirable one day.

“Trey’s death evoked the collective memory of a community that has suffered a historic wound over many, many years and many, many deaths." Colin Kaerpernick is paying for an independent autopsy for Demartravion “Trey” Reed, a Mississippi college student who was found hanging from a tree.

I genuinely cannot believe that Ezra Klein said we should run pro-life candidates in Kansas, Ohio, and Missouri; three states that recently held abortion referendums where the pro-choice side won!

Best antidote to it all is thoughtful reflection by @nhannahjones.bsky.social. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/18/p...

My understanding reading the notes from others that it’s now MMR and separately V for under 4. This is still stupid, but not cataclysmic. However. I don’t expect them to stop there, but to perhaps keep breaking things down to being worse and worse over time. This is just the first go round 😡
