The only acceptable reaction from actual men to the news out of Cornell is that these terrible excuses for human beings should be found and c*strated immediately. Any defense makes you as bad as them and is the explanation as to why you think women hate you. Hope this helps my guy 🙏🏼

Today’s the 36th anniversary of the ADA and maybe I’m naive, but I think we can live in a world where access doesn’t have to be legislated and a disabled person’s value isn’t determined by their productivity under capitalism and white disabled people aren’t centered and we care for each other.

In Atlanta last month, we asked local leaders what a #GoodLife means to them. Their answers were clear: Affordable and quality housing. Access to healthcare. Jobs with dignity. And above all: more time with family and less time stretched thin trying to make everything work. 📹

if this is not the country you know then you’ve never known this country how nice of her to let you sleep so long while so many people could never go to bed

maybe now if you’re awake all those dreams you had with the safety of your comfort can be what you fight to make real so she can finally let the tired rest and it can be your turn to open your eyes

Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

This! Including masking up with high-quality N95 or better respirators during marches and rallies to protect yourself and your comrades. We can’t march or get much done if we are down with flu, long COVID, etc. Eugenics and ableism does not belong in progressive circles.

fascism will disabled a lot of people, particularly folks who are organizing and resisting. so what will it take for the left to actually care about disabled people?

It’s time for the world to Boycott, Divest and Sanction the U.S Avoid the Olympics, World Cup and other sporting events. There’s no reason to celebrate the 250 birthday of this fallen nation

Reminder that two weeks ago, the US government had $900 billion to give to the military to be able to do things like commit war crimes in Venezuela, but they cut precisely the same amount in healthcare for poor and disabled folks in July, and millions more people are losing healthcare as we speak.

what a gift it was to have @sfdirewolf.bsky.social as a friend in this life. her wisdom, her genuine care for her people, her thoughtfulness, her deep deep love for community. i am really not sure how the world keeps turning without her, but knowing her, she’ll figure out a way to keep us going.

shoutout to all the Dems who sold out the American people tonight, but a huge “fuck you” goes to Senator Fetterman for being an especially giant, unbreakable piece of shit from the dehydrated ass of the Democratic Party 🥰

You actually don’t have to hand it to Donald Trump. You don’t have to give him credit for anything. He’s a horrible human being who has never known a day of suffering in his life. Nor does he care an ounce about the suffering of anybody else. Hope that helps.

you should be asking yourself why you want a cure for autism. be honest with yourself. what is it that makes you believe autism and autistic people should not exist. and side note: tylenol does not cause autism

I don’t have much to say about the Georgia political news except this: a lot of y’all expected near perfection out of a Black woman but seem to give every bit of grace and a pair of wide open arms to a white man who was an active part of so much harm in our state. Maybe you should think about why 🤗

How many Palestinians in Gaza were shot and killed today? How many of them were children? How many of them didn’t ask for nor celebrate nor perpetuate the kind of violence they’re subjected to on a daily basis? How many of you care?

when i was 6 years old, i woke up on september 2nd and found my triplet brother paul — my best friend since we shared a womb and truly one of my soulmates in life — had died in his sleep. 28 years later, there has never been a single day since that i haven’t thought about him.

if only he knew that even though it would always physically feel like a piece of him was missing, he’d have so much love in his life that a lot of that would get filled up; not all of it, but a lot of it.

today in my daily meditation i thought about 6-year-old dom and i told him i loved him. i sent him peace in the midst of difficulty. he was in so much pain for so long. if only he knew that one day he’d think of his brother and smile instead of cry, even though it took a while.

I didn’t actually believe it was true but for a brief moment I had this feeling. It was kind of like the moment I experienced love at first sight. Butterflies fluttering. A clear vision of the future. A warmth like a long hug in the bitter cold of winter. What was this feeling? It was hope.

today a UN body announced famine is in Gaza. this oped from New Disabled South connects US funding of Israel's starvation campaign to Trump's BBB cutting SNAP as fundamentally American. "The U.S. allegedly has no money to feed its children or the world’s children, but has plenty of money for war."

teenvogue.comFrom Famine in Gaza to Trump Cutting SNAP, Child Hunger is An American Pastime"At home and abroad, the U.S. government is participating in starving people, particularly children, and calling it policy."

For @teenvogue.com, I wrote about America’s favorite bipartisan pastime: starving people at home and abroad. As officials confirm what we already know, that there is a famine in Gaza, I hope we can all remember that none of this is unavoidable. It is a choice.

"At home and abroad, the U.S. government is participating in starving people, particularly children, and calling it policy. It’s more than policy, though. It’s woven into the fabric of this country since its inception." Read our latest op-ed from @thetattooedjew.com ⤵️
