She’s absolutely right

Bad Bunny holds a football that says Together, we are America.

Unidos somos América.

A reminder to the haters it takes this many states to outnumber the American citizens in Puerto Rico

That was a kick ass halftime show!!

Bleeping “subliminal mind fuck America” during the Super Bowl at this moment was…on the nose.

Civil Rights for Disabled Students Are Being Deleted in Real Time — and No One Told the Families 3 Things to Know About the Collapse of Federal Civil Rights Enforcement in Schools

90% of the cases have been dismissed - because there is no longer the staff to investigate and manage them.

Maybe Joe should know that Walz is actually the Governor of Minnesota and not the Mayor of Minneapolis 🫤

Bondi directed federal agents to arrest four journalists.

Georgia Fort, Don Lemon, Jamael Lundy, and Trahern Crews.

All Black. All doing their jobs.

This was posted in the new Epstein files release and removed about 20 mins later.

Wonder why that is.

"I've only wanted to be just another student trying to learn" "I never wanted to be there."

My non speaking autistic son responds to his school district removing him from special ed after crushing expectations: “I’M THRILLED THEY SEE ME AS A SMART STUDENT AND NOT A SPECIAL ED STUDENT. I’VE ONLY WANTED TO BE JUST ANOTHER STUDENT TRYING TO LEARN.” #autism

Q: Who whips out their phone to video their own act of murder?

A: Two answers are true:
1) Someone who intends on murdering. 2) Sadists.

And Sadistic Personality Disorder never exists in isolation. It's always accompanied by Psychopathy-Sociopathy (ASPD). Always.

San Francisco’s Ocean Beach!

If you are a veteran, this kind of visible presence at anti-ICE protests is really valuable.

These clowns all want to play dress-up soldier, so actual soldiers mocking them to their faces is devastating.

All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, ‘Watch it quick! Before it disappears!’) makes me feel like I’m in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house.

This is where America is now

It's 2025, and we're sharing bootleg 60 Minutes segments broadcast in other countries because our own country is being run by fascists and their billionaire-owned state media helpers, just as the Founding Fathers intended, of course.

Concerns are mounting over both the response time to OCR cases and the rate at which those cases are getting dismissed. #disability #disabilityrights

Airplanes flying overhead with vapor trails behind them

HHS is expected to appoint a special government employee to investigate climate and weather control, according to Gray Delany, former head of the agency’s MAHA agenda, who said he drafted the memo.

Airbags, Vaccines, and the Revolving Door: What We Owe Each Other Safety Doesn’t Mean Perfection

Airbags, vaccines and the revolving door: what we owe each other.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov's take on Kirk is the correct one:

"Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."

On point. So glad Democrats are saying this.

Again, political violence has no place in this country.

I probably don’t agree with Charlie Kirk on a damn thing, but that doesn’t matter - he’s a husband and a father.

This is despicable and can’t become our new normal.

Don’t Fall for False Equivalence: What’s Happening Is Not Normal What’s happening now is not about repair. It’s about dismantling.

Full column with receipts here:

Neutrality won’t save us. False balance won’t save us.

We need clarity.
We need courage.
And we need to stop pretending this is all just partisan noise.

Because if we let “normal” become this, there won’t be anything left to protect.

The cost is not theoretical.
It’s disabled kids denied education.
It’s women losing bodily autonomy.
It’s immigrants torn from families.
It’s parents watching supports vanish in real time.

This isn’t “politics.”
These are human rights violations.

Let’s call it by its name.

When experts are purged and replaced with loyalists? That’s fascism.
When every institution is declared corrupt—except the one leader you must obey? That’s fascism.
When human rights are stripped and dismissed as “just politics”? That’s fascism.

Receipts from just the last few weeks:
▪️ RFK Jr. fired every CDC vaccine panel member (ACIP).
▪️ DOJ removed ADA enforcement guidance.
▪️ DOE preparing to cancel IDEA grants for kids with disabilities.
▪️ National Guard flown to D.C.—to mulch cherry trees.
▪️ RFK Jr.’s own group sued HHS

Pattern much?

Our systems are flawed—yes. They’ve failed many communities, including mine.
But what’s happening now isn’t reform.

It’s demolition.
Deliberate. Coordinated. Strategic.

There’s a lie circulating right now:
That “both sides” are equally to blame for collapsing trust in our institutions.
That “all politicians are the same.”
That maybe RFK Jr. is just “shaking things up.”

Don’t fall for it.
Because what’s happening is not normal.
