Rob Reiner was an American Icon who, through his art and activism, held a mirror up to American culture. His talent, humor, activism, and patriotism will be missed. Our heart breaks at the senseless loss of our friend.

Somehow @sepinwall.bsky.social published a beautiful eulogy for Rob Reiner overnight. I woke up saddened by the news of his passing, and this piece—celebrating his life and work—was exactly what I needed to read. www.whatsalanwatching.com/rob-reiner-w...

Sometimes we all need a reminder that we are kicking ass! www.bonfire.com/store/meacti... Maybe we do not feel very kickass when we are just trying to survive but we know that takes unimaginable strength. Thank you to @hospmom.bsky.social for this design! #pwME #MECFS #Spoonie

I don't have words for the fear these images conjure up, only that when I look at these images I know what I am looking at — and it is the most direct route to hell that humanity is capable of taking.

The death of due process is the most egregious assault on human rights protections in any democracy. Without it, democracy simply does not exist. Call your senators, call your reps. Call the governor, call your HOA for all I care, but please make noise for the people they're trying to disappear.

US Senator Dave McCormick of Pennsylvania, who doesn't live in Pennsylvania, is on a book tour, and this is his email address. Why don't we all reach out and say hello. 😀 [email protected]

We invite you to join in by sharing women that you see power in in our community and/or what is powerful about our community together. Mentioned above @hospmom.bsky.social and @exceedhergrasp1.bsky.social #MECFS #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #MECFS #LongCovid

I got a head nod and an approving half smile from a goth teenager last night. Feels like I could take over the world. #nosmallfeat #goth4ever #lovegenz #thelittlethings

The ultimate goal is to remove special needs children and poor people from educational spaces. We need to occupy spaces. #education #disabilityrights www.npr.org/2025/03/21/n...

Starting now, folks!

Trump signed an executive order that he said would “begin eliminating the federal Department of Education once and for all,” although the agency cannot be closed without the approval of Congress.

We should stop filing our taxes…

Don't forget that tomorrow is the economic blackout!

No shopping, no gas, no fast food. Will you join today’s economic blackout?

if you don't believe this run a search for "the sin of empathy"

While myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS) is not a rare disease by the numbers, some of us have a co-morbidity that is a rare disease & we want to support our fellow disease/ disability community. A disease is rare when it affects fewer than 1 in 2000 people. #RareDiseaseDay

Umberto Eco put together a now-famous list of 14 attributes of fascistic states. I'm going to discuss each of them in hopes this helps ppl understand that fascism is not just a buzzword. We're going to go through these by theme, so strap in. 🧵

Alert 🚨 Congress is considering proposals that would reduce Medicaid funding! Medicaid is a critical lifeline for disabled Americans. Our friends @nhelp.bsky.social are hosting a day of action: Call Congress via the Protect Medicaid hotline at 866-426-2631 and tell them to protect Medicaid. No cuts!

Jeffries: The constitution requires the president has the responsibility to take care that the laws are faithfully executed. Spending agreements passed through the appropriations process are law. When those laws are violated, the constitution has been violated.

RFK Jr's nomination to HHS head has advanced to a full Senate vote (date TBA). It's crunch time. Please call your Senators and tell them to vote NO. Call your Senators regardless of what position you anticipate they will take. Use this tool: www.usa.gov/elected-officials

Elsewhere, a worker at an intelligence agency says that unidentified outside staffers arrived to sweep the office of anything they felt was related to DEI. That included a plaque, confiscated from a supervisor’s desk, which read, “Be kind to everyone.”

If you’ve taken the oath to serve, today would be a good day to honor it.

Today from Timothy Snyder, author of On Tyranny: snyder.substack.com/p/the-logic-...

NEW: Elon Musk’s attack on USAID has cut HIV/AIDS workers off from medicine and money. The Trump Administration claims it is allowing “lifesaving” foreign aid to continue, but in reality, DOGE is preventing vital work on HIV and AIDS from saving lives. Read our scoop here:

If you’ve been wondering what Elon Musk and his lackeys are up to since taking control of the US government, look no further. Our latest story names six 19- to 24-year-olds working with his DOGE organization, which now has access to sensitive federal systems. wrd.cm/4jzpiSN

Hi all! I’ll be back down at OPM today (Feb 3) from 5pm-Probably Midnight, peaceably protesting the douchecanoe frat boys currently stealing federal employees’ personal data and accessing 6 trillion dollars in OUR Social Security/Medicare funds. Feel free to join me and spread the word!

Please share! Rep. McGovern: "Maybe before coming after USAID, Republican should look at the billions and billions of dollars of tax breaks and subsidies they give to oligarchs like Elon Musk. You want to save some money? Let's start there." Right!?

I was told there would be checks and balances

Way too many of my friends died in 2024. I envy them.

Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) a funder of biomedical research particularly as it applies to military readiness, appears to be entirely gone. cdmrp.health.mil

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH** * Currently paused by Executive Order ** Grant reviews now all canceled www.kcur.org/news/2025-01...

people keep tagging me in fuck around and find out content like I haven’t been talking about how pandemics lead to fascism since 2020. The “find out” portion isn’t just for everyone who doesn’t consider themself a liberal—it’s for them too. Haven’t masked in 4 years? FAAFO.
