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

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.

With this firing, Kennedy and Trump are essentially telling the Senate - you can vote for whoever you want, and then if they get in the way, we just fire them. What is such an important thing that they are planning, that would risk them blowing up the CDC? www.dashnews.info/menarezs-fir...

I know it's a cliche' but he looks really special out there. It's going to be so much fun watching him run the offense this season.

RFK Jr accuses his critics of financial conflicts of interest, yet his own movement is supported by organizations and individuals with a direct stake in vaccine-related litigation.

MAHA Is Starting to Crack Protecting Pesticide & Food Industries Isn't Winning Over MAHA Moms

The Make America Healthy Again experiment was always a strange fusion: Trump’s MAGA base plus RFK Jr.’s wellness-skeptic “MAHA moms.” For a while, it worked — uniting vaccine distrust with organic-food activism under one banner.

It’s not every day you get a LinkedIn notification telling you that someone from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security viewed your profile.

But that’s exactly what happened.

The person was based in Washington, D.C. I don’t know why he visited my profile.

Do not normalize this. This is fascism.👇

What happened on January 6th was an insurrection, but Trump didn’t deploy the National Guard because he wanted the insurrection to succeed.

What’s happening in LA is NOT an insurrection, but he did deploy the National Guard because he wants an excuse to use the Insurrection Act.

Period.

Governor Newsom: "I have formally requested the Trump Administration rescind their unlawful deployment of troops ... and return them to my command.

... This is a serious breach of state sovereignty — inflaming tensions while pulling resources from where they’re actually needed."
