We could end homelessness and hunger tomorrow if we wanted to.
We could agree that everyone should be fed and housed.
We could admit that being disabled, poor, homeless or unemployed is not a moral failing.
That society would be better off if everyone’s basic needs were met.
ICE deported a 6 year old deaf child with severe disabilities to Columbia.
Before deporting him, they dragged him from camp to camp without providing his assistive hearing devices or a translator.
This innocent child had no way to communicate or understand what was being done to him:
“Not all men” they say.
But it’s the men who are sworn to protect us.
It’s the men at the highest levels of government.
It’s the men who are police.
It’s the men in your home.
A woman is killed every 10 min by someone she knows.
1 in 3 experience sexual assault.
It’s an epidemic.
My daughter reported that the ICE presence outside her school during recess last week involved ICE officers sitting IN AN ICE CREAM TRUCK. And this wasn't kids misinterpreting. We had an email from the school the day it happened; we just didn't get the ice cream detail in the email.
Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.
Anyone can become disabled at any time.
Your life can change in an instant, no matter how strong and healthy you think you are.
People will leave you. Funds will dry up. Life will get tougher.
It’s not a moral failing.
It’s a minority group you can join anytime.
Disabled people tried to warn you.
We said the “better off dead” narrative being weaponized against us would be used for other groups of people.
The fascists won’t ever stop. They see everyone else as less than. Expendable. Not worthy of life.
Its eugenics on a massive scale
Chronic illness is unfair & unrelenting.
I’m facing a threat to my housing which has wrecked my baseline.
I haven’t written in weeks.
I don’t have a working washing machine so I’m covered in hives.
Today multiple things broke on me.
Then I broke. Sorry for the lack of writing. My brain is done.
This woman has been in America for over 5 decades.
She came to the US as a toddler after being adopted by a US Air Force officer.
The regime wants to deport her to Iran.
A country they’re intent on destroying.
They want to send her to her death.

"We’re at the Commonwealth Day Service in Westminster, asking Charles and William - what did you know about Andrew?" #NotMyKing #AbolishTheMonarchy #Epstein
Delightfully savage take. #Andrew #SussexSquad

"Resurfacing an eight-year-old Ascot interaction to suggest “Kate was right all along” ...also paints a less flattering portrait of palace dynamics. More like a very expensive high-school cafeteria where alliances shift and the mean-girl energy never quite goes away."
#SussexSquad
"...it risks exposing a contradiction the monarchy cannot easily explain. Prince Andrew was cast out of public life because of the Epstein scandal. Yet Trump, whose name appears repeatedly in the same orbit of allegations, is apparently still acceptable company for the King."

NBC’s Richard Engel: “The White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”
If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

"It’s difficult to believe they’d come back to the UK, because the environment that made their lives unbearable is still fully operational … and still pretending it wasn’t involved."
#sussexsquad - If this is commonwealth day, Trooping the Color is going to be crazy work. Just boo's and shouted questions. Before you know it, the eggs might come back to be thrown out...
Those carriage rides this summer are going to be rough.

The press is still doing the thing that made the Sussexes leave. The same smear cycles. The same dog‑whistles. The same “sources say” briefings. The same obsession with Meghan’s every move.
NEW:
The British Press Pretends It Didn’t Drive Harry and Meghan Out
The Dow futures dropped 1,000 points as U.S. oil approached $120 a barrel to start the week. Senile Satan was right, we can’t take all this “winning.”
Nikkei plunges in likely preview of Wall Street open:
“In the whole written history of the strait, it has never been closed, ever,” said JPMorgan Chase analyst Natasha Kaneva. “To me, it was not just the worst-case scenario. It was an unthinkable scenario.”
“An activist and former political prisoner…said the situation was ‘apocalyptic’…[and] ‘The situation is so frightening it’s hard to describe. Smoke has covered the entire city. I have severe shortness of breath and burning in my eyes and throat, and many others feel the same.’”
One thing about markets is that when prices start going up or down VERY rapidly, it becomes very hard to look away.
Which produces an emotional response that is often contagious.
The myth is that markets are rational, but they are in fact highly emotionally reactive.
Chat, is this good?

If oil prices spike, working families feel it first at the pump, at the store, everywhere. Dismissing those concerns as foolish ignores real economic pain.
The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed...
"How will you pay for it?"
The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts...
"How much do you need?"
It doesn't have to be this way.
