OTD in 2015, same-sex marriage became legal. #LoveIsLove became a mantra. A decade later, many disabled people still cannot love freely. A decade later, many disabled people have to choose between love and survival

NEW: "Where is the outrage over Skrmetti?" On the far right's campaign to create uncertainty over gender-affirming medical care for minors — and the powerful institutions that helped along the way. Tonight, at Law Dork, my written equivalent of a direct-to-camera address.

Crowdfund this shit.

Autism isn’t an epidemic. It's not a disease. It’s a natural variation in how people think…which, frankly, is a relief in a world where most people don't think at all.

I hate it when I accidentally tell all my secrets to the editor of the Atlantic. Real oopsie doopsies

JD Vance has an agenda. Set up conditions to make war possible if Trump wants it.

AOC: Alina Habba said, “What intellectual thought.. you were in a bar AOC. Not to have a drink but to serve one.” I don’t care what this woman says about me but I want you to understand that she isn’t just talking about me, she’s talking about all of us.

Is it at all surprising that a convicted felon would ignore a judge's order?

If you live in NC, call every Republican politician you know. Call every farmer you know and ask them to do the same When money walks , voters talk. Make sure they know this effects everyone in their town and state www.wunc.org/news/2025-03...

Vets March

God DAMN that's a perfect response!

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

These are the senators who collaborated with the GOP. Schumer Fetterman Cortez Masto Durbin King Shaheen Gillibrand Schatz Hassan Peters Don’t let them forget it. No peace for them.

I remember Kent State Massacre. We marched at San Francisco State University in solidarity and revolt against those murders. Reagan was California's Governor at the time and he shut down all the universities and colleges...thus began the war on education and dissent. Trump is the final product.

Also, SSA operates at ~1% overhead. Any MAGA Gooner who claims there's any more efficiency to be found is lying, stupid, or both.

Please listen and share—this is a very serious situation. This is extremely alarming! The Trump administration, across two agencies, is considering bringing criminal charges against employees simply for doing their jobs.

“There are times when it is better to stand alone than not stand at all. This President is disrupting the healthcare system. He is all but defying court orders. At some point, we’re all going to have to stand up.” - Rep. @algreen.house.gov, after being removed from the House chamber, 3/4/25

🔥 Rep. Al Green is not new to standing up

Pure speculation on my part: John Roberts is a politician in a robe who seeks to suck up to Trump every moment he gets. He likely ruled against Trump because he determined popular outrage against Trump & Musk was so great, that SCOTUS didn’t dare give Trump what he wanted in this instance.

Trump’s disgusting behavior in our Oval Office in the company of a genuine hero and defender of democracy like Volodymyr Zelensky may be the most disgraceful public behavior by any president in our history.

Re Zelensky at the WH, yet again, feminists and trauma/abuse- informed thinkers are years ahead of political analysts. There is no acceptable affect, no way to charm an abuser, and no “deal” other than playing very very dead that would change how Trump and his flying monkey Vance behaved.

Zelenskyy is 💯 correct here, and I'm absolutely disgusted with the way 47 and Vance treated him.

This Polish-American echoes this sentiment. Slava Ukraini!

"what if a dangerous man pretends to be trans to-" what if we actually dealt with the underlying causes of dangerous men. what if predators faced real consequences more often.

Please look up the influenza epidemic of 1918-19 to understand that the CDC not selecting strains for next year’s vaccines sets the stage for a public health calamity that will, without doubt and at bare minimum, catastrophically and directly impact people you know. This is a five alarm fire.

I wish that people in mainstream culture had listened to us nerds when GamerGate was happening and when the Sad/Rabid Puppy situation was going on with the Hugos. They were movements, writ small, of what is now eating my country.

Just going to leave this here should it become useful to anyone…

Art is essential to humanity. When you're feeling low, do you have a favorite song to turn to? Is there a concert you're looking forward to? A Broadway show? A comfort movie? A TV show? Strip all that away and life is bleak indeed. And in these terrifying times, we need it more than ever.

NBC purges people of color. Was there a direct order from the co-presidents? Threat of a lawsuit? We are looking at re-segregation of American public life.

Like if the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft burned the books themselves in hopes it would keep the wolves from the door. Friends, the wolves seek the light.

AOC is spot on! “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.”

“ Trump fired all the women and Black people” So did your newsroom / tech space/ funding/ firm You watched Black women slip away tap out be shoved to the side in almost every space you are in And “didn’t see” your racist colleague. The theft of ideas , the precarity Do you get it now

This is how it’s done.

Here's a collective action we can do to help fight for the rights of gender expansive folks!

"Everything is a conspiracy when you don't know how anything works."

The Drag and Trans community put on a street show of resistance in front of the Kennedy Center arts center in response to Trump’s Trans Community erasure policies and his takeover of the Kennedy Center Board. #TransRights #HumanRights dcmediagroup.us/2025/02/14/d...

It’s time to do what we do best: Make Republicans squirm and ensure Democrats fight like hell. Your representative is back home for recess and we’ve got events planned across the country (including Tesla dealerships). We know that showing up works and the stakes are too high to stay home. LFG. 👇

JUST IN: Arizona Reports H5N1 Genotype D1.1 In Maricopa County Dairy Herd.

Second #FundDayFriday of Black History Month. Let’s get Black folk the money they need. Drop your funds and links: - Reparations - Mutual Aid - Abortion - Transition - Moving - Access Needs - Whatever Please make sure you’re adding alt text and making your skeets as accessible as possible.

Just heard: All probationary employees except fire, law enforcement, and veterans. These people are permanent employees. They have left other jobs, moved to new areas, and committed to our conservation mission. HQ found out last night. We just found out. ~420 people. #Resist #Rebel

Did you know? American taxpayers would be saved $8 MILLION PER DAY if we simply canceled Elon Musk’s defense contracts.

The fight for Trans Rights is alive and well at Stonewall

The RSVP page for PRAXIS INC is live! I'm so honored to be presenting "Viewing the Disabled Dancer: Toward a More Inclusive Aesthetic" at this conference with such brilliant people in my field. If you are local to NYC or are planning to be in town, please come support!

Flood the NPS with emails about this; their advance compliance is beyond the pale! Trans people should not be erased!

I'm registered. Are you, fellow New Yorkers?

If you can switch to Gulf of America, then you can freaking handle calling a fellow human being by their preferred name, you big babies

Reminder: @spasticradical.bsky.social came all the way from Minnesota to fight for our democracy. He went down to the Senate on Thursday to meet w/ senators and got the brush off, that includes from Sen. Warren’s office. Was told that Musk & DOGE weren’t something the senators were meeting about.
