TANK vs TESLA

"We've crushed fascism before and we'll crush it again"

Give us better food safety regulations instead. Require FULL ingredient disclosure on all food that is sold for money. Require priority allergen listing in restaurants (the EU already does this) and on airplanes.

I'm food-allergic and wish food allergy organizations would STFU with the #ShineATealLight thing. It makes zero difference to food-allergic people's safety or quality of life. #TealLightsDontSaveLives

I'm autistic. Like RFK says, I can't play baseball. However, the ONLY time that being unable to play baseball has messed up my life is when people tried to make me play baseball (in PE class) even though I very obviously couldn't do it. It doesn't affect my adult quality of life.

Does he know how many people in classical music, the "make a daily routine out of getting very intense about a specific subject alone in a room" field, have been realizing things about themselves in their 20s and 30s

So he's attempting to extort a baby out of this woman?

Nicotine causes heart damage, so it's definitely a suboptimal option. Whether there are people for whom it's the least bad choice, I don't know.

Some evangelicals do believe this, yeah.

Well shit.
Got like 6 letters from SSI with different deadlines (some past) to continue receiving benefits.

Called the two different numbers and the calls were not connectable.

No clue what to do here.

What did they do before x medicine or y accessibility practice or z safety testing? DIED. People died. It’s way cooler when we, as a society, take active steps to prevent people dying, getting sick, getting illnesses or injuries that lead to disability, and so on.

My friend's life is in danger due to lack of access to decent medical care. She has multiple extremely painful and life-threatening illnesses. She spends entire days in medical transport for appointments.

Help her move to a place with better care.

Bring back *everyone* who was sent from the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador. *No one* should be sent there. ALL their rights were violated. ALL of them should come home.

Reminder: Pierre Poilievre STILL refuses to apply for the normal, usual security clearance, the Canadian media is STILL under-reporting that, and I’m STILL choosing to assume under these dangerous and scary circumstances that it’s because he knows that he wouldn’t pass the security check.

How much of a role did voter suppression play in the lack of Gen Z participation, I wonder?

The left map shows the parts of Germany with the highest percentage of Syrian refugees.

The right map shows public support for the anti-migrant AfD.

Something to keep in mind when reading stories that posit a direct link between refugee numbers and support for the far-right.

As you head to the polls, remember:

1. Doug Ford failed to end hallway medicine like he promised.
2. Over 2.3 million Ontarians have no family doctor.
3. In 2022, Doug gave 43 MPPs a $16000 raise & froze nurses’ wages at 1% increase for years.

Doug cannot be trusted #onpoli

Here’s the thing — when a politician shows they can be bought & will sell out the public interest for their self-interest… and that they’ll easily lie when lives will be endangered & cities will be hurt…you know you can’t ever trust them.

Every scandal has shown you can’t trust Doug Ford, Ontario.

As we’ve seen, I wasn’t.

If anything, we’re all still underestimating what Trump will do relative to the sovereignty of other nations, including Canada.

But here’s my main point today.

We also have to stop underestimating what Pierre Poilievre will do if we give him power.

And Smith, Moe & Ford.

Abandoning research participants is an unconscionable betrayal In 1964, the Declaration of Helsinki created a set of universal ethical principles to protect human participants in health research.1 Described as “the cornerstone of research ethics,”2 these principl...

I’m seeing a lot of people frame the threat to the 504 only in terms of affecting education and kids with IEPs.

It affects EVERYONE. From curb cuts to access to government buildings to sign language interpreters in disasters to accessible medical facilities, it is a civil rights threat to ALL.

Guess you have this doc too, but anyways, here goes nothing, a link to the declassified CIA manual to sabotage a dictatorship ... don't know if it can be useful:

To every part of the world of every size having an election soon — Think really carefully before sitting it out, before thinking “they’re all the same,” before letting “the perfect” be the enemy of the rational & competent, and before assuming that “change” won’t end up being an absolute nightmare.

These DOGE guys' phone numbers & addresses are easy to find, in case anyone wants to file a FOIA request for all their communications (including those on any personal devices used to conduct government business), or serve them with evidence preservation demand letters in anticipation of litigation

Hi, I am @motherjones.com' disability reporter. In the following weeks, I am very interested in hearing how tariff nonsense impacts getting your meds and medical equipment. My email to get in touch is jmetraux@motherjones.com. Reposts appreciated.

"if something is needed"

THATS HWY THEY WERE THERE. BECAUSE SOMEONE DIED AND SO WE NEEDED THEM

Democrats aren’t powerless against Trump’s blitzkrieg power-grab.

Senate rules are designed to protect the rights of the minority and Democrats have tools at their disposal to grind Senate business to a halt if Republicans try to ram through Trump’s extremist agenda: indivisible.org/resource/how...

Indivisible Guide is urging people to visit their senators' local offices between now and Thursday to demand that they use every tool—including denying a quorum and blocking unanimous consent—to fight the confirmation of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought for head of OMB.
