Gonna say something that probably feels harsh.
Black and Minoritized communities have NEVER been able to “opt out” of being the target of these kinds of atrocities.
If you’re at DAY FOUR of this administration & wanting to tune out already you should reflect on the level of privilege you’ve had.

This is absolutely true. Conservatives tend to meet families of people with disabilities where they are at the moment. It allows for their message to be incredibly potent even if private schools often deny education to disabled students or they support Medicaid cuts.
Imani Barabarin has been talking for years about how many disabled folks vote for Republicans because Republicans show up at their events and speak openly about their issues, whereas Democrats rarely do. This is not some new Republican strategy, this is an old strategy. This is maintenance.
Apologies. Didn't alt-text it. Here we go.

Kind of amazing in hindsight how Nancy Pelosi got a bunch of Democrats from rural areas to lose their careers to pass the Affordable Care Act.

“cats meow more frequently when greeting male [vs female] caregivers. The team hypothesized that men ‘require more explicit vocalizations to notice & respond to the needs of their cats.’
In other words…many cats have concluded that men don’t always listen, & adjusted their behavior accordingly.”🧪
