Not wearing a mask at protests is, in my opinion, the protest equivalent of a non-disabled person parking in a disabled parking spot. You’re being present there in a way that makes it so that a disabled person can’t be.

My heart hurts eo much for you and your goodbyes

You can’t hate fascists and use AI slop generators. They’re the same thing: total destruction of truth at scale.

DHS top lawyer says 'no legal barrier' to actions officers can take to defend federal property In a memo obtained exclusively by The Handbasket, Federal Protective Service (FPS) officers were given free rein.

EXCLUSIVE — DHS Acting General Counsel sent out a memo Wednesday to all Federal Protective Service staff (the sub-agency that guards federal buildings) letting officers know they could take any action necessary "in the vicinity" federal property to protect themselves.

The Handbasket reports:

Wow!! I knew you were working on this but I never expected a working version so soon!

“there’s no real difference between an acetaminophen scaremonger like RFK Jr. and an anti-trans obsessive like J.K. Rowling. Neither are doctors, both have been poisoned by a steady stream of online propaganda and disinformation”

When science is thrown out the window, everyone suffers.

Hey all currently looking for mostly tech aligned work but also willing to do axuillary in support of positions the field is currently a bit of a bloodbath.

There's an ENTIRE WEEKEND of masked, COVID cautious events coming up Aug 30-31 in Oregon. Within driving distance? (N. Ca to Seattle) join us! Arcade, laser tag, nature walks, tabletop gaming, goat farm visit, dance party and more. Please help spread the word. www.covidinfopdx.com/the-pnw-covi...

The CDC shooting was public health’s Jan. 6 “In RFK Jr.’s America, it will never be safe to practice public health or medicine," write an epidemiologist and a former CDC staffer.

NEW 🚨 The violence is the point. Elected Dems must call for widespread resignations (RFK, Bhattacharya, Prasad) in response to the CDC shooting. Public health must demand this of them, and the public must demand that of us. With @publichealthguy1.bsky.social in STAT: www.statnews.com/2025/08/15/c...

you’re not going to fool me into thinking fascism will win if i don’t vote for gavin newsom. if he’s the choice then fascism already won

All while stripping away the requirements for benefits and full time salaried employment that barely makes corporate jobs bearable

Scientists are fighting a war on cancer… would be helpful if the leader of the top US health agency didn’t keep taking cancer’s side.

It’s still not too late to start wearing a mask again.

The political climate is making it increasingly hard to survive as a disabled person.

A well fitted mask like an N95 can help keep you and your community healthy.

It’s also a great way to show solidarity with vulnerable people.

Technically? This fits perfectly

Wearing masks is a vital part of community care.

Without masks, you are not caring about your community.

Without masks, community suffers & many are actively excluded.

What kind of community are you building if you make it inaccessible to 1/4-1/2 of the people around you?

Centrist Democrats Are the Actual Traitors to Their Party While progressives often get accused of undermining the Democratic Party, the evidence shows that it’s the moderate wing that most often violates the “Vote Blue No Matter Who” principle.

...it is actually the party’s centrist establishment, not its progressive wing, that’s most likely to violate the maxim of “Vote Blue No Matter Who.”

How Heeding Disabled People Can Help Everyone Survive Crises An expert on the social and cultural implications of technology responds to Aliza Greenblatt’s “If We Ever Make It Through This Alive.”

I wrote "How Heeding Disabled People Can Help Everyone Survive Crises" and for a second there it really looked like policymakers and government folks understood what i was poiting at.

Guess not tho.

Look, i know a lot of us live for the schadenfreude of the crash & burn but i don't think some of you realize just in how many ways we are all in the fucking plane.

Some of the biggest buyers-into of this "AI" hype cycle have: your medical data, your identity data, control over the carceral system…

We really need to stop focusing on what is "fair" and start focusing on what is just.

"Fair" is "I suffered, so you have to do the same." An obsession with "fairness" leads to white supremacy and transphobia. Fairness is carceral. Justice is not.

The best thing I ever did for myself as a disabled person was work on my internal ableism before I head any inkling I would become disabled. You too could end up disabled someday. Do yourself a favor and make the world more disability friendly today. #disabilitypridemonth

People are going to have to get over the aversion to mutual aid if you want to save lives after this. They won't, because WHAT IF I GET SCAMMED, but you can either be the person who lets someone whose Medicaid gets canceled die or be the person who was scammed once.

Choices, I guess.

Republicans just voted to murder 140 Americans a day, every single day of the year. They're killing 51,000 of a us a year.

It matters that @littlelobbyists.com families are in the hallways and in the offices.

I don't know a single disabled person Medicaid who thinks they'll be spared from the effects of Medicaid cuts. Disabled people on Medicaid are really scared.

"game industry dead" doesn't mean "no more games ever", it means the networked machine that employs people to make cultural entertainment products for profit is no longer capable of performing basic functions.

Working simultaneously in AAA & indie these last few years, this resonates.

I just gave to Little Lobbyists Action Network! Show your support with a contribution.

This bill has NOT passed out of Congress, it has to go back to the House.

We're getting @littlelobbyists.com families to Washington DC tonight, so they can be on the House-side tomorrow. We need to cover van and hotel costs, if you can contribute:

Poorest Americans Dealt Biggest Blow Under Senate Republican Tax Package

NEW: The just-passed Senate Republican package is much better for the rich than the poor. Any gains from lower taxes may be wiped out from the loss of Medicaid, food stamps and more. Some Republicans looked to exempt their own states from the cuts.
