THREAD #BAFTAS #TOURETTES

1/ As a 34yo with treatment resistant, severe Tourette’s and coprolalia, I’d like to throw my hat into the ring here regarding the BAFTA incident. Let me first say that I think we should be listening to black people when they talk about their experiences with that word.

Dispatches from MN: it's getting really hard, guys. The media has left, the donations are drying up, and ICE is still here kidnapping people. It's hard not to be resentful that other people have the option of setting this aside for.other things.

Very few people are willing to have a real conversation about why everything feels off.

Dems trying to thread the needle where they get to beat Trump but also preserve the dystopian police state infrastructure he's built up.

Idk if I’m supposed to give this PSA daily, but human beings are suffering rn in the world. Idk if you understand that they don't have time for ppl in rich countries, or citizens of this country to elect them help, or freedom, or food? Like, y'all get that right?

Colorado moves age checks from websites to operating systems | Biometric Update As Colorado lawmakers once again revisit online age verification, the debate is no longer about whether to protect children online.

Colorado Democrats just introduced a bill in the state Senate to make it MANDATORY for OPERATING SYSTEMS TO USE AGE VERIFICATION DURING SYSTEM SETUP.

Even if you do not live in CO, you need to call up the bill's sponsors and scream. It WILL come to you next!

Convincing the "I read giant tomes of theory to cope with the horrors and find hope" crowd to embrace the TL;DR machine is gonna be a hard sell.

β€˜Suicide is only one option': Social Security staff newly assigned to phone duties raise concerns over training Experts and SSA employees question wisdom of telling callers in crisis that suicide is an option.

Eugenics and fascism have always gone hand in hand.

Disabled people tried to warn you.

AI chat bots have β€œsuggested” suicide.

Assisted dying policies are on the rise.

SSA staff have been told to tell disability applicants that suicide is an option.

It’s a cull.

Give a person a vote and they'll feel free for a day.

Teach them how to organize and they can become free forever.

Weak deflection. They celebrated the fact Medicare For All was killed before it could be implemented. All according to Hillary's plan.

On Nov. 16, a mental health counselor recorded in Kamilla’s medical records that her mother reported the girl had lost her appetite after being β€œserved food that contained worms.”

A week later, the couple said, children were told to gather in the gym for what they believed would be a Thanksgiving celebration. Excitement spread as families saw tables set with turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, they said. The children waited expectantly. But when a parent asked when the celebration would begin, Oksana said, staff told them the holiday meal was for employees, not detainees.

The children, she said, watched despondently as the feast was packed away.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees β€” it was for the staff.
