From Schism Blue by Christina Tudor-Sideri (Sublunary Editions, 2024)

It was so profound and moving and had me contemplating ways I’ve searched for continuity in my own life. Will post more pics from my reading of it later.

Today’s listening: A Journey of Giraffes - Hour Club (Somewherecold, 2019)

Listened to this on my walk to/from work, and on a hike through the forest after it got misty. Then I found this free reed organ on the sidewalk and brought it home. Thank you, Monterey organ donor!

RFK is a eugenicist. He claims autism is a "preventable disease" and is aggregating health data to create a nationwide database of autistic Americans, to find its "root cause." A federal database of citizens with *any* specific condition is absolutely laying the groundwork for eugenics legislation.

How federal cuts are already affecting disabled students in California Educators and disability advocates in California are raising the alarm about federal cuts that are already affecting programs that support students with disabilities.

This administration is deliberately taking away necessary programs for our most vulnerable students. Back in February, the federal government cut Poway Unified's funding for the Charting My Path for Future Success program, which prepares students with disabilities for college and beyond.

the line all the free market zombies rehearse is about minimum wage jobs being entry-level positions not intended to provide sustaining income & it’s such a transparent clever-boy line. 1 bedroom is entry level lodging. A job should pay for it & you should have 2/3 of your pay left over

“Further, the Civil Division retains the discretion to pursue cases outside of these categories as it determines appropriate.”

“These categories are intended to guide the Civil Division in prioritizing which cases to pursue; however, these categories do not limit the Civil Division from pursuing any particular case, nor are they listed in a particular order of importance.”

That is only one category listed out of ten by which the DoJ makes determinations to pursue denaturalization cases. Please see the parts of the memo underlined in red: “10. Any other cases referred to the Civil Division that the Division determines to be sufficiently important to pursue.”
