It’s Not Just a Constitutional Crisis in the Trump Era. It’s Constitutional Failure | Washington Monthly While Trump defies constitutional norms, Congress remains conspicuously silent and the Supreme Court has abdicated its responsibility.

One of our most serious constitutional historians plausibly argues "the phrase constitutional crisis no longer describes our situation. The Constitution has failed, and we no longer know which institution will rescue it." Read this piece. washingtonmonthly.com/2025/06/27/i...

Please watch this….

The first episode of Cheers has an extra who uses a wheelchair, which is funny as there are stairs and as I recall, but no details come to mind, there was a protest about this...if anyone recalls details, please tell...

A good time to throw up obstacles to getting people vaccinated.

The case that could gut disabled people's right to equal health care The notoriously conservative Fifth Circuit will rule on whether it's a civil rights violation to deny a quadriplegic man a ventilator.

You may remember Michael Hickson, a Black disabled man who was denied life-saving care in early Covid.

His estate’s case is before the conservative Fifth Circuit of Appeals, where judges could gut disability rights in healthcare. My latest for @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

This is how it needs to be done. Hats off to the 4th district of Nevada for electing someone who’s actually representing the American people.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines.

When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

Carrie Ann Lucas Dies At Age 47. You Probably Haven't Heard Of Her And That's A Problem Well-known disability rights advocate Carrie Anne Lucas dies at age 47. Learn who was she and why you probably haven't heard of her.

Following the shock of this tragedy, I truly hope the executives at #UnitedHealthcare experience clarity to appreciate the enormity of the suffering their policy decisions have wrought, and to change the policies that prioritize profit over care. #copolitics

Someone fact check - I know mostly right.

Love it when it takes all day to get a prescription that is over the counter in Canada.

Penguins just want to live...climate change is killing their environment. F tariffs.

Almost half of the country’s health insurance now rests in the hands of a man who once sold miracle pills — with zero proof they worked — on daytime TV.

Love it when every single doctor is out today and you’re in a medical study with complications

Meme: With all due respect, read this, then read it again. Then teach it to your children and grandchildren.(Picture of 5 historical women and two historical men.) History is not there for you to like or dislike. It is there for you to learn from. And if it offends you, even better, because you are less likely to repeat it. History is not yours to change or destroy.

The pandemic conditioned people to see the disabled as acceptable losses

Once you sacrifice an entire group of people, it gets easier for fascism to take hold.

The Spanish flu gave way to Nazis, where the disabled were the first people killed.

The image is a screenshot of a post on X by a user named Mrs. Betty Bowers (@mrsbettybowers .bsky.social). The post reads: "I learned this week that you can put our troops’ lives in danger, compromise our national security, and violate the Espionage Act. And the government will do nothing. But if you write an editorial for your school newspaper that Trump doesn’t like, you will be abducted on the street and disappear."

This is horrifyingly correct.

…

The image is a heatmap titled "Measles," showing measles cases across U.S. states from 1928 to 2003. States listed on the y-axis include Alaska, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, New Hampshire, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The x-axis spans years from 1928 to 2003. A vertical line marks the introduction of the measles vaccine around 1963. The color scale at the bottom ranges from blue (0 cases) to red (4,000+ cases), with shades of green, yellow, and orange indicating intermediate values (1,000, 2,000, 3,000 cases). Before 1963, many states show frequent high case numbers (yellow to red), while after 1963, cases drop significantly, with mostly blue indicating near-zero cases.

And yet Joe Rogan puts guests on who say "Vaccines aren't actually responsible for the reduction in infectious diseases.”
