For the Disability community, losing Alice Wong is like losing Ursula Le Guin or Octavia Butler. She was a powerhouse, a pioneer, and a mentor to many. She taught me so much. And always reminded me what we were fighting towards, as well as against. I miss her clarity, bravery, and joy.

I’ll never get over my partner showing up to a medical appointment in his custom power wheelchair and an IV bag attached to his port, asking a medical provider to wear an N95 because Covid disabled him, and the medical provider refusing. It happens regularly, yet still the gall shocks me every time.

The reality is Covid is still raging. Thousands of people are dying a month and we don’t know the long-term cumulative damage it does anyone making claims like the person quoted above is not just dangerous. They are actively working to harm themselves and others.

Trump Boat Bombings Take Dark, Unnerving Turn with Leaked Memo Stunner A new Trump administration memo argues that those carrying out the boat attacks can’t be prosecuted. Why? Because the administration says so!

Trump's illegal murders in the Caribbean just got worse. An internal DOJ memo on the bombings says the victims are waging war on the US, but per NYT, it extensively cites the WH's *own claims* to this effect as evidence!

It gets even darker than that. 1/

Nick Fuentes, who has praised Hitler and is openly antisemitic, says Republicans are hypocrites for “tolerating cruelty and abuse” toward Muslims, Black people, and other minorities while drawing the line at antisemitism. He argues his own politics are simply the logical end point of that bigotry. “If I went live on my show on Monday and I said ‘fuck Islam.’ I said these Muslims need to go home. Fuck them. They’re barbarians… they like to live in open sewage and bomb crap. You think any conservative would disavow me? Any of them? Any Republican? Do you think if I was known for saying that, I’d have any trouble getting into CPAC? Or the New York Young Republican gala? Or the GOP? Of course not. Because Laura Loomer has access to the White House and she says stuff like that. Ben Shapiro has access to Trump and he says stuff like that.”
