Nope. It’s him doing persona design but he’s applying it to policy without REAL PEOPLE If he doesn’t believe they’re real he’s fine He just believes they are more important than any other personas and most feedback Which isn’t about his grip on reality just his ego

When you actually think about how many issues are tied to disability you never think about, it’s intentional. crutchesandspice.com/2025/11/11/c...

Oh, you thought you could resist this? There's a list of books in the comments, can you resist that? You is me, and maybe I can't resist that.

Senators have feelings too, y'all. They also have money & health insurance. Fuck right off with this feelings BS. We know he called us hysterical & implied we're overreacting. People have & will suffer because of this. Acknowledge it. I'm not interested in your support of senatorial emotions.

New from 404 Media: people are 3D-printing whistles to warn each other about the presence of ICE. Some people make designs and upload them; others are given a design and are printing hundreds and hundreds of whistles at home. It's been effective in Chicago www.404media.co/the-latest-d...

Convincing you to read my novella (AUDITION FOR THE FOX) by sharing the first page - share yours if you want!

One of many costs to US murder (sorry, no better word for it) in Caribbean: "United Kingdom is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal."

A lot of people around here have dry, dusty hearts. It's a can of formula. Even if you believe with all your heart that you're being scammed, why is that your focus? Why aren't you instead focused on the chance that you could help one person? Dry, dusty hearts. Shameful.

What's your favorite / best supplement company that can still ship to the U.S.? #NEISVoid #LongCovid

The different between the right and centrists is that the right gleefully kills millions of people and centrists present mass murder as a technical solution, like they added up all the numbers and carried a zero and oops, sorry, millions have to die.

I love working for this company

The long-covid clinic was great. The doctor knows about this, she was familiar with everything. I felt seen by a doctor. She knows specialists and gave me tips. Then she told me they're likely being closed and there's nothing further they can offer me.

If today you're talking about policy and not people, you should really reflect on why that is. Can you acknowledge what you're defending?

So this is the pivot for the blue no matter who people. let’s see how that works out.

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

“I’ve had death threats and wishes of harm on me and my children. I had the FBI call me one week saying that my name and my children’s names had shown up on dark websites.” I wrote about the challenges facing the MAHA resistance: www.notus.org/health-scien...

To be clear: the deal they voted on to move forward last night still needs to be formally voted on in the Senate and House. If the eight are your senators, they should be hearing from you this morning!

I am so angry. I am not looking forward to the defenses of this from otherwise well-meaning people who do not understand the harm being done, mostly because they've refused to listen.

And I've been doing politics for long enough to know clearly that the entire Senate Democratic caucus agreed to this decision to fold. Open your eyes. The 8 who "broke" did so with the complete blessing of Schumer and their colleagues. You don't have to play along because this is not a game. The end

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

starting to think all that harm reduction was actually just regular harm

seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

My statement on the proposed Senate deal

THAT IS ALREADY A LAW. TRUMP IS THE PRESIDENT WHO SIGNED THAT LAW. YOU ARE A FUCKING NEWS REPORTER

I can’t support this bill. It doesn’t meet the urgency of the moment and deliver actual relief that can pass both chambers of Congress. I’ve been clear that we need real action to stop the devastating health care cost increases that are hurting millions of families. 1/2

Maybe important to note it was the disruption in air travel that Democrats couldn't stand and not, you know, 40+ million people not knowing where their next meal was coming from.

Major concession from Democrats here is enhanced ACA funds aren’t extended. Preserving them was Dems’ central demand in this fight. They secured a promise of a vote (which Thune has been offering for weeks), but that could still fail. Even if it passes, Johnson has made no promise of a House vote.

I have my first appointment at the long-covid clinic tomorrow morning. I'm hopeful? Maybe?

While they’re still screwing about with SNAP, it’s a good idea to donate to pet shelters, too. If you dare show up with “poor people shouldn’t have pets”, I will tear such a new one it generates a black hole. apnews.com/article/pets...

Blocking is the gift that keeps on giving. Someone was an ableist douche today but all I see aside from people rejecting it is that one single word: blocked. That's nice.

SNAP funds will be paid in full, proving that the USDA was always capable of paying the full November benefit. Remember that the Trump admin chose to let people go hungry. They chose not to fund SNAP until a court forced their hand. They chose cruelty and pain.

I wrote about ICE and the various ways they’re carrying out this regime’s eugenicist agenda. Their use of tear gas and pepper bullets. Their aggressive arrest techniques. The lack of adequate medical care or infection control in the camps. The utter disregard for disability accommodations

"So many #patientadvocates go into advocacy because we were treated as unreliable narrators of our own lives." Great quote from Gwen Darien of the Patient Advocate Foundation during @fredhutch.org's Value in #Cancer Care Summit #VCC2025 #CanSky

I have MCAS and flare after vaccinations. My doctor knows and I reminded them today. So far they've asked if I want my emergency rescue medication set up for mail order & then said they won't submit the Rx to the pharmacy until end of day. I say again: emergency rescue medication. Explain it.
