Noémie Sérieux nails the way we see disability. The SSA is notorious for this.

“Many ‘affordable housing’ complexes accept public subsidies while imposing exclusionary credit and debt requirements that effectively bar Section 8 tenants and low-income families. This practice circumvents fair housing, weaponizing credit scores as a proxy for class and race discrimination.”

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

🟥 300K Black women fired since January.
Not “laid off.” Not “exited.”
They were pushed out—federal jobs, DEI, education, healthcare.
April alone: 106K gone.
This ain’t budget cuts.
It’s a purge.
And we see it. 👀

Same people who could care less about 300,000 real Black women losing their jobs over the abolishment of DEI are crying over removing one fictitious white man from a restaurant logo.

For the young people who are new to politics & cannot believe how committed billionaire media has been to mass producing a 24-7 stream of negative headlines about the NY mayoral candidate pushing for free buses — let me remind you that this is a well-practiced strategy, it’s not random. It’s a plan.

This week’s main story is about the juvenile justice system in the U.S., the facilities we are funneling so many children through, some other steps we can take to try to keep children safe, and of course some of our favorite Kidz Bop lyrics. Hey – HEY – some of those songs are good.

Shitty authoritarian minded humans. If we can even call them "humans"

Neurodivegent Dragon @crankyree.bsky.social · Jun 21

Warehousing them is the point.

Neurodivegent Dragon @crankyree.bsky.social · Jun 21

You forgot to mention that most of these kids come from abusive homes, and are mainly neurodivergent. These children are conveniently NEVER given psychological assessments. No mention of the parents who weaponize this system against the children. #juvenilejustice #juvie #CPS #schooltoprisonpipeline

Here’s last night’s story about the juvenile justice system in the U.S., how we’re incarcerating children at many times the rate of other nations, and how John feels about five specific guinea pigs. youtu.be/Pya-kt5M7uY

‘Show Me Where You Make Autism!’ Shouts RFK Jr., Storming Sour Patch Kids Factory

EAST HANOVER, NJ—As part of the health secretary’s highly publicized pledge to determine the cause of the disorder in the next five months, a wild-eyed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. reportedly shouted “Show me where autism is made!” Thursday while storming the Sour Patch Kid factory. “Attention Sour Patch Factory people: Give me the autism and no […]

Debunked, half-true, and deeply ableist. RFK Jr. knows shockingly little about autism.

RFK Jr. knows amazingly little about autism

For someone who's been talking about it for so long, the HHS secretary got many basic facts wrong.

TikTok struck my video for “sexual exploitation.”

What was in it?

Archival records of colonial rape.

Europeans didn’t just conquer land—they conquered bodies. Religiously. Economically. Reproductively.

It wasn’t kink. It was state policy.

If there ever is another president other than Trump, I hope liberals will remember this period, so that when elite Democrats and pundits insist Democratic presidents have no power to do anything, nobody will believe that anymore.

We saw it coming. It’s history without the truth or sanity. Trump’s proclamation demands federal sites—the entire Department of the Interior, from parks to battlefields, and the Smithsonian itself—tell fictional, nationalist fairy tales. #publichistory

I suspect the SSA is especially discriminatory towards black women when we apply for disability. We are never seen as truly "disabled" because our ancestors were purposely broken and was forced to keep going. Disability was purposely part of the deal with colonialism. #BlackWomen #DisabilitySky #SSA
