The military takeover of Washington is not a “distraction” from Epstein. It’s a military takeover of Washington, which is an even bigger deal, and those of us who kill brain cells reporting on this stuff knows it’s been an explicit goal since before the election.

Angela Rayner says that Labour MPs who rebel against the Welfare Bill will lose the whip

There are 403 Labour MPs

Any Labour MP who votes for withdrawing PIP support from the disabled as outlined in this welfare bill is an absolute disgrace

"There is ZERO reason pets should be fed raw diets. Stop endangering pets because of wellness influencer disinformation."

Great advice here for any Labour MPs who are against cutting benefits for over 1 million disabled people and worried about losing the whip when they vote against it

Austerity with a red rosette is not the “change” people voted for.

March 15, 2025 Jacob age 39 shares: "my friends and family don't believe that I'm sick because I look okay on the outside. They don't understand why I had to leave my job. I miss my old life and the activities I used to enjoy. I need the government to step up and help us!"

March 15 is International #LongCOVIDAwarenessDay, a time to raise awareness and amplify the voices of millions worldwide who continue to suffer from the prolonged effects of COVID-19.

Whatever happens, ALL disabled people need to stick together.

That means we all need to fight against any proposed cuts, and not allow them to try and divide us.

Every disabled person is deserving of support. We shouldn’t ever make it into a “who is worse” competition.

If all your representative is going to do is sit silently and wear pink, you need to replace them with somebody that will do this.

In the UK, we had sufragettes follow politicians around and rang a loud bell whenever they started speaking. Cause the biggest scene possible and don't let him be heard.

this encapsulates what all of this administration is about. they aren’t “accidentally” destroying departments. they are intentionally destroying the government so they can become the government. the only issue they have with the system is they don’t profit from it or control it

Don’t buy today. Give the greedheads a taste of their own medicine.

Transitioning An Indoor/Outdoor Cat to Indoor Only • Feline Engineering Outdoor access carries risk for a cat's health and safety. It can also lead to behavior problems. Here's how to transition your cat to a fully indoor life.

If you're looking to transition your cat to indoor-only due to H1N1, great! There are many other benefits, too. But it may not go well if you just shut them in and call it a day, you need to commit to giving them an enriched indoor environment with lots of play. felineengineering.com/blog/indoor-...

It’s wanting to abolish Section 504, wanting to cut Medicare, wanting to get rid of DEIA, wanting to stop people working from home. All of this will kill disabled people. When we tell you that pandemics lead to fascism, this is what we mean. When you excuse our deaths, these policies are pushed.

If you're a white dude with some flexibility in your life, get a group of your like-minded bros together & go to these events to act as counterbalance to these "private security forces." Get in their way. Occupy space. Ask for their IDs. Outnumber them. Make their fascism difficult.

Agreed - Zooey and I just came down with influenza A and it was ferocious, especially for her. Go get the shot now if you haven’t had it yet - it’s spreading like wildfire out there.

With all the uncertainty around public health in the U.S., now is a great time to wear a good mask like an N95.

They’re not just for Covid! A respirator can help you avoid flu, colds, measles, TB and more.

It’s a powerful act of solidarity and resistance. It’s a sign of community care.

2 Oregon cats euthanized after contracting bird flu, prompting raw pet food warning Oregon and Washington officials are warning pet owners about the risks of raw pet food after two cats in Oregon had to be euthanized after contracting bird flu.

More cats have died of avian flu because of raw feeding. It has always been a bad idea but especially now. Don't give your cats raw meat or raw milk! 1/2 www.centraloregondaily.com/news/pets-an...

A mask is one of the most effective tools of the resistance.

A well fitted respirator like an N95 protects from Covid, flu, H5N1, TB, measles & more.

It sends a strong message to the government that your health is worth protecting & that you will not obey in advance.

It makes activism accessible

Reminder: Don’t follow art theft accounts that post other people’s work with no credits. They make the internet worse.

Spoon Saving Social Media Tips and How to Resist Online The current political landscape is having a devastating impact on the health of those within the disability community. A look at how we can save spoons and leverage our unique powers to resist.

Disabled people are built for resistance. Our health challenges may make it difficult to withstand stress & upheaval, but we’re skilled at problem solving, contingency planning & adapting to a world that isn’t build for us. We are adept at survival

We should be included in all resistance efforts

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do.

Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

“…no amount of posting or passive info consumption is going to substitute the hard, unsexy work of organizing”

I would argue that sick & disabled folks have used social media to organize and mobilize. Some of us can’t protest in the streets or meet in person but we made a difference

Nobody comply.
