MAGA fragility is brittleness performing as strength. Defiance is refusing to comply with the demand to accept gaslighting, even just in your own head. Protect your conscience and clarity fiercely. #MoralClarity #Resistance

I don’t see these as just ‘cuts’—they’re a deliberate strategy to weaken public infrastructure and movements. That calls for a response beyond policy fights: broad, proactive coalition-building

The attacks on disability rights aren’t just policy cuts - they’re a strategy to weaken movements. We need a new approach. Read the latest post & join the conversation
