It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column

With no end in sight, National Guardsmen deployed to DC grow weary | CNN Politics With each phone call home, the troops describe a mission unlike any other.

The frustration: the expense & the lack of clarity & purpose on the mission to deploy at home.

There is no purpose other than power. This is not ok.

If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.

From this week's #MemoToMembers: #NLIHC urges HUD to reverse plans to drop seven fair housing cases involving disparate impact discrimination. Weakening this protection risks allowing harmful housing practices to persist without accountability. More here: nlihc.org/resource/n...

As promised, in light of the WaPo report of Everglades camp detainees being swarmed by mosquitoes in the shower and unable to sleep at night due to being bitten, I want to briefly address concentration camp history and mosquitoes. I won't be comprehensive but will give a few examples. [1/17]

Does the Speaker not have a Ten Commandments idol - sorry, MONUMENT- posted where he can read no. 3?

Superman is the story of an immigrant who grew up in Kansas, landed a low-paying job as a reporter in Metropolis, and still had time for a hobby because urban housing was affordable.

Philosophy professor & US Citizen Jonathan Caravello has been brutally detained & effectively disappeared for trying to help a legal observer remove a teargas canister from under their wheelchair during an ICE raid on a California farm.

Social Security pulls field office staff to answer overwhelmed phone line The agency, which serves 73 million beneficiaries, has struggled to improve customer service amid cutbacks, long wait times and a crashing website.

Remember when the Trump admin tried to shut down the Social Security call line — falsely claiming 40% of callers were “fraudsters”?

Now they’re scrambling to fix it, because millions of Americans rely on it.

You can’t gut a vital agency and then pretend to care when it breaks.

“Superman is too woke!”

Literally the first page of the first ever appearance of Superman:

From a Biden appointee to whomever needs to hear it: don't be a bottleneck. If you insisted something cross your desk on its way out, block time on your calendar to read it, for goodness' sake.

Planting trees was good enough for the jobs program serving my Okie ancestors during the Depression.

A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."

Book bans are a bad look for the parents' rights extremists.

He's stripping those here *legally* of their documents.
Even some GOP lawmakers have now begun to criticize him:

i posted this thread on the other app last yr but wanted to put it over here bc ive been thinking again about the iraq war and the "torture debate" which was really an eye opening event politically for me....

Navy blue and turquoise text graphic stating the hunger conditions of a 13 year old detained in family detention and the fear of death. Also, stating "Stand up for Immigrant Children: Urge the Senate to Vote no on the budget bill!"

🚨 The Senate budget bill lets the government detain immigrant families indefinitely in unlicensed facilities.

This is a direct threat to children’s health and safety. Congress must reject this cruelty. 📢 Tell Congress: NO on the budget bill. youthlaw.org/voteno

Nothing whatsoever.
