happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Let's say you live in a house, and you fill a room with shit and say that other people, not you, have to live in the shit room. So now your life is better than theirs. BUT YOU STILL LIVE IN A HOUSE WITH A ROOM FULL OF SHIT

I don’t think it’s a complete coincidence that, yesterday, so many of us around the world were in awe of what Minneapolis was doing, and, today, the government brutally murdered one of those courageous people, just to show us they could. They think they’ll scare us into submission. They’re wrong.

Hey from daycare patrol where the windchill is -23 and falling. Really fucking wish we didn’t have to do this.

live your life in such a way that your loved ones should not feel compelled to denounce you, and in such a way where you should not feel compelled to denounce your loved ones

If you’re a grown ass man in full tactical gear asking a child to show you ID or proof of citizenship you failed at life. Utterly & completely failed. Loser.

Can one of our collective 2026 resolutions be to let a human woman's face look like a human woman's face

I’d love to see exactly that graph!

I want someone to run on a platform of taxing billionaires into extinction.

Support Donations to EAPM help build the future of accessible news.

Here's the sad reality. @equalaccesspublicmedia.org just paid this month's freelance bill for @the-word.news. Without a miracle, without an angel donor, without something happening quickly, by the end of the December 15, we're out of money.

ICE vs the clergy

This is beautiful. If only my daughter’s classroom could be like yours, but the violence starts with the floors and the lights and it escalates from there.

instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

That doesn't mean let up on the pressure, oh no. Just that I cannot, and you cannot, let your sense of purpose depend on Democratic Senators doing the work. They - en masse - will not. Not yet anyway.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Democrats Consider GOP Deal to Reopen Government, With Promise of Later Vote on ACA Subsidies Democrats are considering a Republican offer to reopen the government with a promise of a later vote on extending ACA health-care tax credits.

Democrats are considering a Republican deal to reopen government with a promise of a later vote on extending health-care tax credits—but no guarantee.

One Democrat says it'd amount to "unconditional surrender that abandons the 24 million Americans whose health care premiums are about to double."

My dx journey started with a twitter thread that resonated. The amount of shame I’ve been able to shed as a consequence has been life-changing.
