The headline that sounds most like satire is usually the one worth verifying the most. That's not media criticism. That's 2026.

The President of the United States threatened to end a civilization of ninety million people on Easter morning. My new essay is about why that headline, and every headline that sounds too insane to be real, is exactly why you can't stop paying attention. New essay. Link below.

I wrote something for people whose bodies don’t cooperate. It’s not about pushing harder. It’s about working differently. Bad Days, Good Money. #ChronicIllness #Spoonie #DigitalProducts #MultipleSclerosis

This reads like a Tom Clancy movie synopsis, only we’re the bad guys that Jack Ryan needs to defeat to save the world from nuclear winter. Blundell knocks it out of the park today. You want to make sense of what is happening with this “war,” this is where you start.

Q: Can you give one example of fraud in a previous election that the SAVE America Act would stop? MIKE JOHNSON: Look, we're not gonna litigate all that

I’m a big fan of Dean Blundell because of articles like this. ⬇️

I think it might be time to introduce myself. Officially.

March is Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month. I have MS. Some days, I move mountains. Some days I cancel everything & lie in the dark. Both days are real and valid. If you know someone with MS, don't wait for a hard day to check in. Do it now. We're here — even when you can't see us fighting. 🧡

I fell asleep during the longest, most boring SOTU in my lifetime. Sitting up. At my desk. Turns out I didn't miss anything — except the things they very carefully left out of the script. New essay. The show, the grift, the name nobody said. allisonratkovich.substack.com/p/about-that...

Tonight, while senators leave their seats empty in protest, family members of Virginia Giuffre and dozens of survivors of JE will sit in the gallery in plain sight and refuse to disappear. That's the story I'm watching. Everything else is noise. My essay is up.

Almost everything evil in America right now can be traced back to the abhorrent SCOTUS decision "Citizens United"

If you know someone who's: • Living on retirement that doesn't stretch • Dealing with chronic illness • Wondering if AI is actually useful • Trying to build income with unpredictable energy Send them this. It might help. allisonratkovich.substack.com/p/what-happe...

This is from the essay I published this week. It's the part I was most scared to write. 🧵 1/5

Senator Murphy asked a simple question: “Tell me what white culture is.” The nominee flailed. Church styles? Food? Music? He couldn’t answer because there’s no answer. American culture was ALWAYS a quilt. You can’t pull one thread without the whole thing unraveling.

To the good people of the United States of America...keep squashing those proposed detention centers. They. Cannot. Be. Built. They cannot.

A Trump nominee just testified that white Americans face more discrimination than Black Americans. When pressed to define "white culture," he couldn't do it. I know why. I saw it in a Dutch art gallery—row after row of white-on-white canvases. Boring. Empty. Desperate.

I just published a personal essay about something I've been working on. It's about the 13 years I spent living with undiagnosed MS, thinking I was failing at everything. Not understanding my brain was losing the ping pong match in my head. About fighting for 5 years to get disability. 🧵 1/3

United Healthcare called me again this morning. They want to send a nurse to my home. I want physical therapy because that actually helps with my MS symptoms. We’re not talking about the same thing. More soon.

Quick question for people living with chronic illness: What's the ONE service that actually helps you that insurance refuses to cover long-term? For me, it's PT. Curious what it is for you.

I've been quiet here for a bit. That wasn't the plan. MS had other ideas. But I'm back, and I have something to say about what happens when your retirement check isn't enough to cover what you actually need. More soon.

Help me out. Is it common practice for a president or governor to pardon people daily or routinely? Rather than at the end of their term or in extraordinary circumstances?

On Feb 3rd, Congress restored $15M in MS research funding they'd completely eliminated. Why? Because thousands of us wouldn't shut up. When you CALL you count as 100-1,000 voters. One call from you drowns out hundreds of form emails. This is proof that the method works. Now use it for every fight.

Damn, he is AMAZING! This is a must.

Judges like this one give me hope. 🧡

They shot Alex Pretti ten times this morning. An ICU nurse. In Minneapolis. For filming federal agents and trying to help someone, they shoved him to the ground. We have video proof. They're lying anyway. This is the moment. 🧵

Businesses shut down. Churches targeted. Protesters jailed. A 5-year-old taken by ICE. This isn’t law enforcement...it’s raw...corrupt power...flexing to see what Americans will tolerate. And that...is one hell of a question.

What did Forrest’s mama always say? 🤔 “Stupid is as stupid does.” Yep, that’s it. That is exactly it. ⬇️

The madness…

Local journalism may save us.

“Darwin is currently overwhelmed at the moment…!” 😂🤣😂😂

Come on! We are under assault by this administration in every sense of the word! www.tiktok.com/t/ZThk7JWxM/

I won’t have much patience for the people who will be surprised by this if it comes to pass.

“Where there’s smoke, there’s fire,” as my grandmother used to say.

trump paid his BFF to arrange for him to rape children, is a convicted felon and serial rapist, and has 5 kids with 3 women, one of whom he buried on his golf course to get a tax break. if we're counting on his "morality," we're fucked.

Someone needs to show him how to Google: “POTUS cannot independently cap credit card interest rates on all cards, as such a measure requires an Act of Congress to set a national usury cap & faces legal challenges.”

We are not here to debate. We are here to dismantle. ICE’s violence is not “unfortunate.” It’s intentional. It’s deadly. This weekend — we gather to demand accountability — and to build power. #ICEOutForGood social.demcast.com/s/G9n7pPTc

🤬🤬🤬🤬

Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty …and Minnesota AG Keith Ellison…are launching an independent state review of the fatal ICE shooting of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis…a day after the Minnesota BCA was removed from a joint probe with the FBI. BRING. THE. HEAT. 🔥

I like her.

First Venezuela, then…

At 1:38 am on January 3rd, while you slept, the United States invaded Venezuela. No congressional approval. No declaration of war. No legal justification. By morning, Trump announced: "We will run the country." This is how we rang in 2026. And it gets worse. 🧵
