Nah, I did it far in advance of Election Day instead. My ballot was counted almost two weeks ago.

Imagine a world where Robert Reich was President.

That puts a smile on your face, doesn’t it? Unless you’re actually Robert Reich reading that, in which case the idea probably horrifies you.

Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

A 15 year old boy with autism went missing earlier this week

He was selling fruit with his family in Springbranch when he disappeared

They filed a missing person’s report & begged the public to help find him

Turns out he was in a Houston ICE detention facility

They kidnapped a disabled child!

She was 9 weeks pregnant. She died. The state of Georgia is making the doctors keep her alive to incubate the baby. She’s been dead for three months. This is REAL. this isn’t about what should or should not be done. This is about having a VOICE. This is about having a CHOICE.

My mouth just DROPPED.

Stop calling it deporting, so MAYBE more Americans will get it. "Deporting" is sending someone back, after due process, to the country they came from, where they arrive a free person. This is human trafficking to a foreign torture prison for the rest of their lives. GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT.

Me: The government said since I’m autistic I don’t have to pay taxes anymore 😌

Them: Actually, I think what they said is-

Me: 😠🗣️ THE GOVERNMENT SAID SINCE I’M AUTISTIC I DON’T HAVE TO PAY TAXES ANYMORE 🗣️😠

I was a Dodgers fan for over 30 years, and they managed to turn me off in one day.

Meanwhile, the Giants went viral for having a therapy Flemish Giant rabbit at their games.

The only downside to WFH I’ve found is that I don’t have the train ride to play Pokémon Go.

Not my stupid ass reading “it same Wario” 😭

If manufacturing made items to last and be efficient, we wouldn’t need so much manufacturing.

But then how would companies make more profit?

I thought most people at least understood that my statement was about how I would be terrible at a factory job, no disability disclosure needed.

I benefit the commune more sitting down, seeing as how I’m disabled and break my spine very easily and can’t stand up for long periods of time or bend. I’d be a liability in any physical job.

So I work in an office preserving natural resources instead.

Last night at about 2AM, my family and I woke up to bangs on the door from the Pennsylvania State Police after an arsonist set fire to the Governor’s Residence in Harrisburg.

“So you’ve got a car…that don’t impress—WAIT, HOLD UP.”

…while also believing that the work they *currently* do is extremely important, and America could be worse off if they switched.

For example, my work benefits the environment. America is much better off with me in my current job than me in a factory job, for sure.

Also—are those properly comparable?

There could be other jobs in manufacturing, not just strictly factory work. Jobs like designing machines that will improve manufacturing.

And someone could believe America would be better off with more people in manufacturing…

1/2

To be fair, America would be worse off if *I* worked in a factory.

All that said…is it really better to push off labor to sweatshops outside of the USA? Really, we should be moving toward better technology that allows people to work in safer, more humane environments for livable wages.

Which is why they move them to other countries. “Oh, *we’re* not the ones committing these atrocities!” …if you hire a hit man, you’re still guilty of murder.

Unless that criminal record is due to things like smoking marijuana or “resisting arrest!” when their crime was their skin color.

People like that will have a better understanding of where the system fails.

But DJT is the polar opposite—less of a criminal record than he deserves for his crimes.

“The more disabled people they try to get rid of, the more they’ll create.” Perfectly said.

Long COVID is just one example.

Uhhhh.

Apparently, *this* is peak performance.

It’s spraying a shower of gold over all of us!

Urine for a treat.

Thank you for continuing to speak out against human rights violations. There is very real and sickening antisemitism in America. But it’s much less antisemitic to be Jewish and fight genocide than to say that Jews should all, as a monolith, support genocide.

GOP bill could ban hairdressers from giving gender-nonconforming haircuts to minors - LGBTQ Nation The bill would allow anyone to sue someone who affirms a young person's transition, and it specifically mentions hairstyles.

We reported on this a few days ago, but I want to point out this headline because this is where we are at.

A bill in Arkansas would ban gender affirming HAIRCUTS for transgender youth.

HAIRCUTS.

This is a straight up North Korea state sanctioned hairstyle proposed law for youth.

The scary part to me is how blatantly Trump admitted to rigging the election, which means they absolutely can do it again. We need them to win in a greater landslide than the amount of rigging that can take place.

This is something that we shouldn’t need to specify in contracts because it should just happen…yet the fact that they took the effort to remove it is proof that we do need it.

To be fair, how many members of Congress are actually doing their job?

Al Green, AOC, and Jasmine Crockett…am I missing anyone?

I know my own reps are not doing their job at all—and I’m Californian.

We are preparing to release a detailed breakdown of Musk staffers’ incomes by employee.

Musk’s justification is that “the software engineers at DOGE could be earning millions of dollars a year” but are instead earning a small fraction of that as federal employees.
