can we wrap up the fireworks? she doesn’t like them.

“i don’t give a fuck about these ducks.”

All these July 4/250th events getting canceled because of climate change is a little too on the nose tbh

happy disability pride month. fix the elevators, @septa-social.bsky.social.

Once again, there is no gender equality without our trans community. There is no feminism without our trans community.

Bro what are you doing? SCOTUS was only 1 vote short of usurping the clear and unambiguous language of the document by judicial diktat Taking a victory lap for that is grim

The real headline from the birthright‑citizenship case isn’t the outcome. It’s that four Supreme Court justices signaled they believe a president can effectively rewrite the Constitution through executive order.

This birthright ruling is why I just refuse to tolerate all the Democrat garment rending over NY voters choosing progressive candidates. They are incapable of governing in this moment. The politics of appeasement and centrism gets us to a 5-4 decision on the constitutional question.

generally, you have to work 80 hours a month to qualify for SNAP

there may very well be an explanation for his absence that engenders sympathy and understanding but it should also not be completely forgotten that his only communication during the absence was not to his constituents but to his stock broker

imagine trying "I know I've been gone four months but I'll explain when I'm back" if you were a shift worker at Arby's

my sexual orientation is “Not Jesse Waters”

Saying "vision zero" and "keeping our most vulnerable pedestrians (school children) safe" while participating in a video meeting from your phone while driving a car is really quite something.

SCOTUS is a public safety crisis.

On July 1st, the 'Swarthmore 9' will become the first activists to face criminal trial for a campus pro Palestine protest in the Philly area. Pres Valerie Smith and Swarthmore chose hardline police aggression over negotiation. Make your voices heard.. graphics 📷: @delcoaccent.bsky.social

We have enough fascism from Trump. We don't need it from Democratic officials here in Delco.

the comparison i think most folks are afraid to draw is that the texas activists who “hurt a cop” are getting thirty year sentences, but police officers hurt people every day and have qualified immunity.

today’s psychosis is brought to you by a land acknowledgement slide in a presentation about AI usage in political digital work

i hate donald as much as we all do, but i think JD deserves way more hate than he gets

wait until you hear what i know about her @philiphensleyrobin.bsky.social @clairerobin.bsky.social

AIPAC is a bunch of monsters and so are you

just absolutely enraged about all the policy harms we all fucking warned you would happen if this piece of shit was put back in power

people will celebrate the medicaid and snap work requirements and then complain about the homeless people asking for spare change and fail to understand the connection between these two things.

so it turns out using a wheelchair is hard when you have terrible proprioception, and every outdoor surface you thought was level actually has a dramatic sideways tilt.

it’s heeeeeeere ♿️

In a society that actually cares about people, someone who's even believed to be stealing diapers would be met with assistance, resources, and money to make sure they would never again feel like they must steal for their basic needs. In the U.S., we respond by sending government sanctioned killers.

This is great. Here's @owenjones.bsky.social basically doing the WKUK bit on TV, but about how in the UK you can't legally say you support the group Palestine Action.

i get the maximum amount of SNAP currently, and it covers three weeks of groceries. I’ve had to go to food pantries to cover that gap, and now even though I meet the work requirements I am under threat of my benefits pausing because I can’t get anyone on the phone for an “interview”.

In bad news, with disability education oversight being moved to the Department of Health and Human Services from the Department of Education, that means Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will have power over disability policy positions. New from me at @motherjones.com www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

also just want to ask, are men okay

having chronic illnesses that predominantly affect women and therefore have been completely understudied is like being into true crime podcasts but you do t have a choice and your body is the crime scene.

If you are a cis person just state your pronouns, or state the pronouns you'd like to use that day. He, she, they, it, xie, per, these are all fine. "Any pronoun is fine" is also fine if it's true. "My pronouns are sparkle/sunshine," fuck all the way off. Also, do not ever add "obviously."

This sweet sweet baby. 💙

(political post) yeah, those bills are still there. keep calling your senators and reps 5calls.org capitol switchboard: (202) 224-3121 and say no to KOSA SCREEN Act COPPA 2.0 RESET Act Sammy Act App Store Accountability Act GAMING Act Safe Messaging for Kids Act Parents over Platforms Act

Key aspect of fascism. They don't mean anything they say.

"Vance got to the point. They needed to invoke the Insurrection Act, swiftly, to crush the unrest in Minnesota. It would be painful in the short term, he said, but the message it would send — that paid agitators can't get away with disrupting ICE operations — would make sure no one tried it again."

being disabled in this country basically means being the most productive at any given time when you’re also the poorest. we actually are completely capable of working, but we are just hard to extract labor from in a nefarious way, so we are erased from the economic tapestry.

“Afterward, ICE arrested her in her cell, put an ankle monitor on her and took her 25 miles away to Pittsburgh, where she sat at a bus shelter for days in winter, he said. “She was in September clothes and it was February, and the weather overwhelmed her and she went into hypothermia,” Murphy said.

Wow Trump was right. DC is the swamp.

We need more rich people with normal interests like "your movie sounds neat" instead of, like, white fertility rates.

A SECOND person died of exposure last winter after DHS dumped them in the middle of nowhere, miles from their home, without notifying their family.
