Instead of interviewing Nigel Farage about his views on the use of paracetamol during pregnancy, what about asking him a few questions about this one here?

If you want to understand this Trump administration's rampant corruption ... you have to go back to Eric Adams, and how they made the case against him disappear.

Telling disabled people to formally complain every time they're faced with inaccessibility or ableism, is a pretty privileged and ignorant suggestion.

We would constantly be complaining, and the processes are so inaccessible themselves, we don't have the energy or capacity.

POLITICO compiled a list of all the Washington Post staffers who have left in the past eight months. It’s at least a hundred names, many of them among the biggest names in journalism. This is the fastest erosion of a major outlet ever.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

We just translated a wave of our ICE coverage into Spanish. No paywall, no email signup necessary. From leaks about Palantir's work with ICE to ICE's new facial recognition app, we think there is a massive public interest in this info. Read why and support us here: www.404media.co/were-publish...

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.

No one has heard from you in 113 days.

As vigil, I’m posting a photo or video of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Yesterday, RFK Jr announced the U.S. wouldn't continue to support Gavi, the leading international vaccine organization.

I had a lot of thoughts, so I put them in my first ever Substack.

tl;dr—this is RFK Jr taking his anti-vaccine crusade global.

In the last year, we have helped over 800 patients return to the job they love. Here at Practitioner Health, we are proud to take care of the workforce that selflessly cares for others. #NHSPractitionerHealth

Feedback Friday: Thank you again for all of your help. I would never have been able to get back into training and would certainly not have been able to sit any exams before my treatment. The work that you and your team do at Practitioner Health is so vitally important, and quite literally saved my life. The work that you did with me was absolutely invaluable and is still continuing to help me now, some two years later.

JD VANCE: The idea that this was outside of presidential authority -- I think any real serious legal person would tell you that's not true

You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same."

It's wild to me is so few people who are not Disabled include Disability in their politics at all. Current proposed cuts are based on 3 baseless zombie ideas

1. There is somehow a 'correct' amount of Disabled people who need support

2. Disability can be precisely measured

3. Spending is too high

Frances Ryan @francesryan.bsky.social · Jun 18

I want to see non-disabled people shouting about the disability benefit cuts. If you spoke out about trans rights, abortion rights, or migrant rights in recent weeks? Good on you! If you aren’t doing the same for disabled people, ask yourself why.
