Untreated pregnancy pain (as with all untreated pain) comes with serious consequences -- many of which can also affect the child's health. This is such bullshit.

For the record, @politico.com is really, really terrible at disability coverage

Y'all fight for comedians. Which is why you don't have Black journalists to oppose Trump, but you do have famed resistance leaders *check notes* Matt Parker and Trey Stone.🤷🏿‍♂️ Kimmel is interviewing Gavin Newsom in his return. His podcast guests were the dudes that got the Black journalists fired.

I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him. I'm talking about something very different. Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired. Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to. But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Steve Silberman is rolling in his grave.* *literary license, Steve rejected the idea of an afterlife.

Q: how much is acetaminophen vs. better diagnosis? RFK Jr jumps in to answer, says it's a 'canard' that has been completely debunked, it's just common sense because you(he) don't see autism in people older than 50! (autistic people over 50, stand up!)

i am very tired and still very depressed and emotional and now my bank account is overdrawn again from my tax payment and i'm just exhausted from the everything (v#nmo @ dexanderson)

Happening this week, starting tomorrow: Utah’s legislature is meeting to adopt a new congressional map after a court order. All five draft maps would transform a safely GOP seat into a swing district that’d be very winnable for Dems.

In response to California passing a law limiting law enforcement officers' ability to conceal their identities, the president of the Peace Officers Research Association of California contends that police are not subject to democratic control. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/u...

A Congresswoman calls for everyone like me to be locked up. The world's richest man proposes I be subject to a Nazi medical experiment. I no longer flinch at the sight of the soldiers with assault rifles on my commute. A billboard for AI tells me "keep thinking." One cold brew with oat milk, please

I have been knocked flat and exhausted/in pain/weak and I am definitely due for my B12 shot tomorrow (pernicious anemia) but I also learned the vaccines I got can trigger a flare. B12 is involved in immunity.

Trump has seized investigative and prosecutorial weapons that, in order to safeguard the rule of law, have traditionally been walled off from the president. SCOTUS handed him these loaded weapons.

Imagine still believing that America is the land of the free when they’re doing this to a journalist at a press conference

Yesterday we saw Josh Johnson of the Daily Show in conversation with U of Iowa professor Megan Gogerty, and wha a light he is! He talked about being a comedian in these times and told us to stop worrying if our stuff is "good" and .. just MAKE THE THING. I left feeling hopeful and energized.

There was an open book test ( Project 2025). And Americans failed the test..🫤

the funny thing about the constant misappropriation of MLK is that the guy left a massive body of writing specifically aimed at explaining his views of those of the movement he represented to the broad public. it is extremely easy to know what the guy thought on a variety of subjects and yet

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable. This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed. From me for @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

You guys, so many Romance girlies are reading "On Tyranny" that they've broken the Goodreads recommendations algorithm. 10/10; no notes. #romancelandia

A reminder as you tell people to "find community" that most of you do not give af about accessibility. In some places (like my state) anti-LGBTQ laws (targeting trans & nonbinary) overlap or are even identical to ableist "ugly laws" & cut off access to transit/public accommodations/housing/work.

"Results suggested that autistic expressions were more poorly recognized than NT expressions, regardless of recognizer group (ASD or NT), suggesting that representations of emotional expressions are atypical in ASD, and that these atypicalities are idiosyncratic pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

My ex therapist would often "apologize" for misogynist, demeaning, or ableist comments they made ... but the "apology' was phrased at "I am sorry it landed that way ..." That's not a real apology. It's just a cute rewording of "I'm sorry you felt that way ..."

Then contact each and every one to let them know you will boycott them unless Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated. If he is, this particular probe of the dictator will be checked. 3/x

Been seeing an increase of useful terminology developing among academics to describe the right’s appropriation of these ideas: “inverted victimhood” “hijacked victimhood” “imitated victimhood” The challenge is getting media folks to do the power analysis around victimhood claims in real time

Just bringing this back…

Stop telling victims of abusive therapists (including sexual assault!) to "go to therapy" challenge.

Lawtube is complicit. I am going to have to stop watching no matter how much I enjoy their streams of cases.

I like this. Since under RFK Jr, Covid shots are now for people with underlying conditions that put them at risk, Michigan’s chief medical executive Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian states that not having the most recent Covid shot constitutes such an underlying condition. www.michigan.gov/mdhhs/inside...

Believe it or not, anyone can have a disabled child. It is not a personal failing. It is not a thing people bring on themselves. Disability is normal part of being human. Society could do a better job of accepting this & set up communities in a way that acknowledges this fact of life.

Back injuries are NO JOKE. And this one disrupted Mae's EBT ... which has been SUCH a pain as it is. Please help!!!

I would call this “consciousness of guilt” in an eventual domestic trial or international war crimes tribunal.

When I uploaded 97 documents into the secure evidence link for the detective the other day, I found a few that shook me to my core -- like one that made it clear I saw a hypnotist again in 2014. No memory of that! I think I likely saw HIM again and ... no memory. F*CK.

My new PCP wanted me only to use compounded HRT (surgical menopause) but oh my lord it is expensive ... not sure I can sustain that. It's nice but damn. I still have some fills on the standard kind (also bioidentical)-still $$ but less so. Decisions.

The biggest stress right now is not the case. It is having no support through the case. Nobody checks in. Nobody asks how you are. They are busy calling you a hero and pondering the book deal or the Netflix doc. Victims of a serial predator do not need valorization; we need connection and support.

The fact is we have probably $150bn in the last 9 months put into data centers for demand that is almost entirely imaginary, with zero chance of exit liquidity the SECOND that one tries to sell, or a tenant drops out because their company.

the most interesting part of this reporting is that they didn't pull him off the air for what he had *already* said, they pulled him off the air for what he was *going* to say, which, i expect, has them in quite the pickle now, because he's unlikely to be *more* conciliatory after this

Meanwhile, I’m over here like … people could afford all these channels???

i really hope it sticks now for any lost young buckaroos who find something interesting about a libertarian trot or similar way: these people have been fakin it the whole time. none of them actually care about free speech. they are either: 1 embarrassed conservatives or 2 dummies

3. Is that they don’t care about free speech but love sexual harassment

All of these words are true so I think it's very important for all of us to ask WHY people in and with power are agreeing to all of this... What's the most logical answer to that question?

BREAKING: Judge orders Columbia activist Mahmoud Khalil to be deported to Algeria or Syria, alleging he omitted information from his green card application.

I talked to that detective today, and wow, heavy emotions in the aftermath. But it was good and I hope when I get the link to provide all my documents, that it helps corroborate others and helps the case. Mine is not prosecutable. I expected that. I can still help the others, I hope!
