NY AG Letitia James: “The loss of life under these circumstances demands a searching & independent assessment of what occurred. I also agree that a close examination of release & transfer protocols of vulnerable individuals from law enforcement custody is warranted.”
Disability accommodations are a rare thing that actually trickles down. You like curb cutouts? Auto-opening doors? Jar openers? Ramps? Hand rails? YOU’RE WELCOME
Even as an abled person you use disability accommodations every single day.
Supporting accommodations actually helps everyone.
Hello closed captioning!
Such depths of disregard & dehumanization by officers of the State. His wife, Fatimah Abdul Roshid, & sons were waiting to pick him up: “We were ready with food, clothing, everything,” Abdul Roshid said. “We thought he would be able to break fast with us. He was so close, so close to my hand.”
The new “real” ID: driver’s license at birth
Plus she can always stay at the YMCA!
I don't worry about punishing Trump collaborators because Trump is better at that than I could ever be.
Magical thinking: believing you’ll be the one to avoid the ritual humiliation.

Judith Butler in Who's Afraid of Gender?: “The weaponization of this fearsome phantasm of ‘gender’ is authoritarian at its core.”
Looks like we need a new category:
☑️ all of the above
“The room in Westminster Quaker Meeting House was let to Take Back Power to hold nonviolent direct action training. Quakers support the principle of nonviolent direct action, which aims to protest without harming people.”
Can anyone point me to a resource on how sign "Long COVID" in American Sign Language? I've seen various ways from spelling it out, to using the sign for "Coronavirus" or "COVID-19" followed by "Long" or "Stay". I'm curious if there is any official guidance/recommendations. Many thanks 🙏
Butler wrote about Trump's sadism over a year ago.

Did RFK Jr vow to "restore public trust in health"? I would say that he did exactly the opposite, quite intentionally & glibly. Many, many experts warned that this would be a disaster & yet Republicans & some pundits failed to heed their evidence-based warnings. Here we are.

This is so good. Nina Simone's Take Care of Business (Solomun Mix)

Heck yes! Good riddance for this transphobic GA State Senator who clearly did not represent the same values as her Decatur constituents.
Not a fair weather fan, I see.
First Edition of Virginia Woolf’s MRS. DALLOWAY
Took my students to Special Collections on my campus today to visit this beautiful object
How fun! I love Vanessa Bell’s covers for her sister’s first editions. I think they are unsurpassed by subsequent covers.
Trump’s sadism knows no bounds. And his true believers inevitably turn into masochists.
Noem is giving the most bizarre speech, talking about DHS as though she's starting the job, rather than getting fired. She was explaining how the department works at one point (like what it includes), and now she's talking about how she's going to talk to sheriffs about how they can "work with us."
So many levels of denialism & rituals of humiliation that come with serving Trump.

NY’s “most secretive condo project” featured in the Wall Street Journal
Nine, mostly white dudes on stage in a manel.
Everyone wants to sign letters The Future of Life Institute puts out every few years, it seems.
Take a look at this manel which happened around their first letter 🙄
The billionaires and eugenicists on this manel are the actual existential risks to humanity we should worry about.
A manel into the abyss.
This is what the Dem leadership still doesn’t seem to grasp: that it feels like a betrayal of the utmost.
What Rev. Sadler said: "It felt like a betrayal of the utmost."
