Most unhoused people are disabled.

Most unhoused people became unhoused because of their disability.

How many of you are one bad accident, one blip in your functionality away from becoming unhoused?

We need UBI now.

UBI *IS* Disability Justice.

Thanks Eric for saying exactly what the problem is. It really isn’t that the GOP has the majority in Congress, the presidency, or a conservative majority SCOTUS. We’ve had that before & run an efficient productive government. This time the government is run for billionaire fascism.

Taking a sec to remind Kevin McCarthy there is no such thing as 'underage' women. There are women & there are girls.

The obvious permission structure these fucking creeps purposefully create through their language should outrage all of us!

Trump is a good-for-nothing, do-nothing, nothing burger. He's taken credit for other people's work his whole life because he can't actually accomplish or create anything himself.

we’ll see how his mayoral tenure shakes out but i am convinced that Mamdani has the juice. not just the charisma to win an election but the temperament to govern and the measured pragmatism of someone who genuinely believes what they’re saying and wants to accomplish real things.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

This entire administration - from the top, down - Miller, Trump, Vance, Jordan, Leavitt, Mace, Noem, every one of them is a child-minded malcontent. Talking loud & saying nothing is all they've got. It's their only strategy. The vapidity. IT BURNS!

The editors of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) were apparently fired today.

The precursor to MMWR began in 1878 to address emerging public health threats rapidly.

We are not “great” without it. We are vulnerable to threats from sporadic foodborne illness to bioterrorism.

I just watched the video of the Portland Cop threatening to arrest an ICE agent if they drive their truck through a crowd. Now I see this where the General of the Oregon National Guard says if they get called up they will protect the protesters. People are fed up.

Oregon general’s testimony that National Guard troops ‘will be protecting any protesters’ gains traction online

Brigadier General Alan R. Gronewold made the comments to state lawmakers Sept. 30, and they drew notice on social media this week.

Poilievre is Canada's most prolific rage-farming, populist liar whose entire 20 year long career in politics has been rife with persistent delusion and skullduggery.

He is a duplicitous rogue, definitely not to be believed.

Republicans are flirting with the idea of allowing pay/support to their military service members & their families to lapse, all so they can continue trying to run cover for a ring of powerful pedophiles.
