This is exactly why so many disabled patients are terrified to go to the hospital.
Terrified to give up autonomy and control to those who would mock them for clicks.
The utter disrespect for our lives is too common within the medical system.

Rolando and Anthony Lavielle found out the hard way what happens when you show up in tactical gear and impersonating ICE to intimidate rally goers in Miami.

and that's before we get into how the increased emphasis on standardised testing has, for decades now, promoted rote-learning and scores over actual student comprehension, such that in many cases, kids are functionally taught that the goal is to *fake* knowledge, not to work to attain it

I had been wondering about this, that Boelter wanted to and was actively planning to kill a lot more D legislators. visited at least two other homes.
holy shit -- acting US attorney Thompson details that Boelter went to the homes of two other elected officials after shooting Hoffman but before going to Hortman's house. One cop encountered him at the third house but thought he was a police officer.

That he mentions trans people twice in this free form rant is particularly chilling.
America has had many dark times, but U.S. folks should steel themselves for an especially dark, brutal, and deadly summer.

Your regular reminder that this is not, in fact, a Democratic Party Hashtag Resistance account.
I definitely prefer the Democrats, but -- please sit down for this part -- I don't actually think they're above criticism?
When I think they can and should be pushed to do more, I'm going to say so.

@schumer.senate.gov - a strongly worded committee report is not gonna cut it. You are woefully unprepared for the challenges in front of you.
Senator Padilla was thrown on the ground and handcuffed, all because he was exercising his duty as a senator.
We need a full investigation into what the hell happened, and what's going to be done to see that this doesn't happen again to Senator Padilla or any American citizen.

Trump, talking at Fort Bragg right now about Los Angeles, is doing something I'm not sure I've ever seen a president do: he's actively maligning people in Los Angeles — an American city — in front of U.S. troops.
And the troops are applauding.
As an Army brat myself, this strikes me as very new.

TRUMP: Los Angeles would be burning today, just like their houses were burning months ago. Generations of Army heroes did not shed their blood on distant shores only to watch our country be destroyed by invasion ... as commander in chief, I will not let that happen
FORT BRAGG TROOPS: *Hurrrraa!*

If you think the abuse on Bluesky is no worse than Twitter...well, that's just all white. It is honestly mind boggling to me that you can look at the casual racism, misogyny, transphobia, and outright hatred of the Other on Twitter and draw that conclusion. You must have a very blinkered circle.
having been repeatedly called a fascist yesterday, i think a few things are true:
1. the problem is social media writ large
2. the abuse is no worse here and it's not from nazis
3. the community here is engaged and they will go off over *small* differences in opinion. that just is what it is.
