Disabled people are capable of far more than voting and this is just infantalizing disabled people. Do you know that for ada laws to be passed disabled people literally put their bodies on the line for themselves and other people? Literally spread across the steps without their mobility aids in pain
This is incredibly ableist of you. I'm aware she specifically isn't physically disabled, but your statement is shutting out those who are unable to be there to endure gas, bullets or whatever other "trial by fire" you deem the minimum of being a good person.

i renewed. you should subscribe.

stop paying for publications that, on their best days, wouldn’t mind if you died. invest in an awesome independent and help them pay themselves!
We have not paid ourselves at all this year, but we have managed to turn a small profit! Which is good for a first year online feminist publication that pays fair wages.

We would really like to be able to pay ourselves. You can help make that happen:

I need an end to the Gavin Newsom thirst posting if you need a straight white man Democrat to stand up to Trump pick Andy Beshear who has never compromised on trans rights even for a moment

You're a coward who won't even take responses and yeah throwing them under the bus is a apt way to put it I don't give a fuck if I sound like a bot, you're a weasel who deserves to lose if you're willing to sacrifice other people's rights

There is no acceptable sacrificial lamb to appease purity culture. Whatever weird little pervert you are personally icked by should not be collateral damage in a discussion where, essentially, banks are vying to be the arbiters of morality so they can decide whose dirty evil money they get to pocket

Affordable housing, nutritious food, clean water, time off, the internet, breathable air, universal healthcare, quick and clean mass transit, and living wages are not luxuries. They're the baseline of human rights.

Listen brother if you don't want to be called John penis I simply wouldn't have my last name be penis
This is the modal reply I get from people on the far left. I'm not kidding. It is by far the most common reply.

I'm not saying they shouldn't do it.
I'm just saying this is why it is right that nobody takes the far left seriously, and nobody in their right mind engages with them.

look this Times piece has its heart in the right place but I wouldn't open it with the lines "there's no miracle treatment for measles" because there is, it's the vaccine! and this article is very pro vaccine so I know this is a comparatively minor quibble but still
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will direct federal health agencies to explore potential new treatments for measles as the U.S. faces its largest outbreak in 25 years. Experts fear the decision could have grave consequences, as studies show the existing vaccine is 97% effective in preventing infection.

Decades of research have turned up no miracle treatment for measles, but studies show the M.M.R. shot is 97 percent effective in preventing the disease.

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

Oh no! Several of the Regional Climate Centers have had their funding lapse through DOC/NOAA. These institutes are critical for connecting weather and climate data and services to local communities across the United States.

In honour of Hayao Miyazaki I've implemented the biggest update to the GenAI mute/block list in a few months. Clear your feed.

Let me know of any missed accounts and any false positive I might have swept up. I'm not perfect and happy to review mistakes.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.

Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.
