white background, black text that reads: "We cannot fight for liberation without a deep, clear understanding of disability, ableism and disability justice. The bodies of our communities are under siege by forces that leverage violence and ableism at every turn. Ableism is connected to all of our struggles because it undergirds notions of whose bodies are considered valuable, desirable and disposable. How do we build across our communities and movements so that we are able to fight for each other without leveraging ableism?" - Mia Mingus

what @miamingus.bsky.social said!

When you feel yourself becoming complacent or surrendering to hopelessness or apathy, remember that everything that exists today exists because someone(s) dreamt it up and decided to put in the work to make it a reality. We can create new ways of doing things, new ways of being, new worlds.

The assisted dying lobby isn’t being honest with you – disabled people are at risk from this bill | Lucy Webster Proponents say the measures being debated in parliament will apply only to people who are on their deathbeds. That isn’t true, says journalist and author Lucy Webster

We are still in the pandemic, right now.

The phrase you are looking for to describe 2020 is "early in the ongoing pandemic".

The phrase you are looking for to describe 2021 is "earlier in the ongoing pandemic".

Federal judge indefinitely blocks Trump’s ban on transgender service members, saying it’s ‘soaked in animus’ | CNN Politics A federal judge has indefinitely blocked President Donald Trump’s ban on transgender service members, dealing a major defeat to a controversial policy the president resurrected from his first term.

Great news!

A federal judge has blocked Trump’s bigoted ban on transgender service members noting it “is soaked in animus … and its conclusions bear no relation to fact.”

We couldn’t agree more!

NEBRASKA CROWD: “TAX THE RICH! TAX THE RICH!”

@USRepMikeFlood: “So your proposal to solve (the debt) is tax the rich?”

NEBRASKA CROWD: *CHEERS WILDLY*

COVID-19 Testing The free at-home COVID-19 test distribution program is not currently accepting orders. At-home COVID-19 tests are sold at pharmacies, grocery stores and many other retailers nationwide. Tests ordered before 8:00 PM EDT, Sunday, March 9, 2025, will be shipped. If you have an issue with an order you placed, such as a lost or damaged package, please contact USPS by calling 1-800-ASK-USPS (1-800-275-8777).

You can no longer order free COVID tests from the government. Despite still having $500 million worth of COVID tests stockpiled, covidtests.gov is closed.

One of Trump's executive orders was to vastly expand the number of federal crimes people can be executed for.

It includes illegal immigration.

Republicans are also looking to make executions summary, as in immediate.

In this circumstance I ask you what are these camps.

My friend said "If you use the whole term, every time, when they disagree you ask them which part they disagree with. Make them argue why diversity, equity or inclusion is bad."

Make them say it out loud.

The attack on DEI shows why liberals should stop arguing about "strategic" use of language forever. DEI stands for three uncontroversial virtues that most every American accepts, and the right still turned it into a vile slur. It doesn't matter what you say - they will poison it because YOU said it.

Know Your Rights: Passports YouTube video by lambdalegal

In response to hundreds of urgent identity document questions from transgender, gender-nonconforming, nonbinary, and intersex people across the country, Lambda Legal presents Know Your Rights: Passports, a special virtual info session.

They want us all dead and wholly dependent on them from our mass graves.

Coeur d’Alene prosecutors dismiss citation against woman dragged from town hall, city revokes security company’s business license City prosecutors will dismiss a misdemeanor battery citation issued to the Post Falls woman who plainclothes private security guards dragged out of a legislative town hall Saturday and the city of Coe...

Huh, turns out you can't have private UNIDENTIFIED security assault and kidnap people because you don't like what they say at city hall

Weird.

Record EVERYTHING!

Because let's be honest, what the cops were saying here is "we didn't know there were going to be so many videos so we can't get away with lying"

love it. make them embarrassed every time they run an errand. you can make the argument that people who bought earlier teslas "didn't know." nobody who bought a fucking cybertruck didn't know, unless they were trying not to know.

UPDATE on town hall chaos: Woman who was dragged out speaks, police chief condemns security, name of security firm confirmed A legislative town hall organized by the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee devolved into chaos Saturday when unidentified, plainclothes security personnel dragged a Post Falls woman from th...

For those following the story of unidentified men violently dragging a protester from a local Idaho GOP meeting, it turns out they were from a private security firm called LEAR Asset Management. But neither the sheriff (who watched it all go down) or the GOP will take responsibility for hiring them.

The long game is a game of dream and vision.

We need to remember that we WILL survive us. There will be wounded to tend and dead to warn, but collectively we will survive.

And we need to imagine a future worth looking forward to.

The beast will eventually eat itself.

The more we can keep it from mauling the rest of us, the more we refuse to offer each other up as meals, the faster it will turn to its own flesh to feast.

That is the immediate game.

Fascism ALWAYS falls.

It is a system built on lies and counterfactualism and reality always, always checks it.

This is a last gasp for a dying edifice of white power and for all the Horrors (and there are many) we need to understand it as such.

My workplace has gone from “Don’t come to work sick” to whatever this is. 😭

They are pretending COVID doesn’t exist so they don’t have to provide basic worker rights like sick days, remote work, or worker protections. COVID is a labor justice issue.

Some have given up on masking as they think there's no point if masks can't singlehandedly eradicate a virus (a right wing talking point). What they're missing is that higher risk people can't even get healthcare due to a lack of masking. Masks make essential spaces accessible.

Why Are So Many Players Getting Sick at the U.S. Open? Ons Jabeur has won two rounds despite having flu symptoms, but Dominic Thiem was forced to retire from his second-round match with an illness.

They ALL have covid JFC it's not a mystery

Pretends to be shocked. The "Swiss Cheese" method works and it's a shame that we politicized a pandemic and pushed safety responsibilities almost entirely on individuals alone.

The surge is on, stay informed:

-Hyper-mutated BA.2.86 "Pirola" spreading globally fast

A sign that shows a bear and a human hand apparently dropping food in front of it. But it looks like the hand is rolling 4d6. There is a red circle with a slash around the whole thing, indicating that you should not do it.

No playing D&D with the bears.
