Trans rights are human rights. None of us are safe until all of us are safe. Dyslexia, autism, vaccines work. She/her.

Immigrants ‘plucked out of line’ at citizenship ceremony at Faneuil Hall “the cradle of liberty”.

If you ever claimed you want immigrants to do it the right way, this should outrage you. On the other hand, If you think this was okay, you need to come to terms with your white nationalist views.

“They all know us over there,” Nedra Fortson, who runs the free Samaritan Clinic, said about Phoebe Memorial employees who turn to her office for care. “Their cafeteria workers, their janitors, their clerks, their nursing assistants and so on.”

Harriet Tubman was [made] disabled—

meaning an enslaver hit her on the head with a pipe when she was a teenager so she suffered migraines, fainting, and visions (or 'hallucinations') for the rest of her life.

Which makes what she did that much more remarkable.
Harriet Tubman’s Disability and Why it Matters
In Harriet Tubman's version of freedom, Black women were liberators and a disabled Black woman sat at the center of democracy.

About a month after Elon bought Twitter he held an online poll on his new site asking if folks thought he was doing a good job running it.

When it came back a resounding “No” he appeared to have a mental breakdown.

He has been much more erratic ever since.
why does he look like a problematic side character in a michael bay movie now
this feels like a positive thing since he was doing Nazi salutes

You might think from the headline that this is a story about a trans kid suffering medical consequences from a large drug dose but nope! It is just an interview with an estranged father who is angry that his child happily transitioned.

I was a butcher all through college, I'd probably go back to that.

...it's hard ass work, but a satisfying mix of craft and interacting with people.
Double aside: which trade would you align with if you didn't have a cushy tech job is a great question!

Electrician/networking is too obvious so I disallow that.

I'd either do drywall or framing.

Roofing is out. Not because of fall risk, but because it is so hot up there! Did once. Never again.🙅🏿‍♂️

I've probably photographed Brad Lander more than any other elected in NYC because the dude shows up. He's everywhere, he's incredibly accessible, and he genuinely loves New Yorkers. You can literally go up and talk to him whenever he shows up. Go ahead, try it!

(I have NEVER seen Goldman ANYWHERE.)

I always run into Brad Lander around the neighborhood because he's on his way to help people out; Goldman was supposed to be at a community meeting (of mostly elderly folks!) who had all come out to talk with him, and at the last minute, he FaceTimed in from his car instead, and left the call early.

I think about this quote from @georgemonbiot.bsky.social a lot:

“The idea that some people may freely poison others is one of the most astonishing but least contested aspects of modern life.”

The dirty industries that dominate politics deceive us into accepting dangerous pollutants such as ammonia as part of life, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

As someone with legions of LEOs, lawyer types in the family—

The damage this does to our community

How can we ever regain trust

Who do we📲for help

Who’s even an actual legit LEO? ( esp of concern if female, young )

Who wants to get into an unmarked van?

Who pays for the brutality & damage?

That's the Minneapolis Chief of Police, who recently announced at a press conference, that any city police officer who does NOT intervene to stop unlawful use of force by ICE will be fired.

This should be a "me too" moment where every police chief in America announces the same policy.
