It’s important to understand that when 1.2 million Americans are dying from a disease, any government action is excessive and tyrannical, but if a dozen trans women want to play soccer no government action can go far enough

You do not engage in these kinds of actions to change the world overnight. You do it to change one person's world, over and over, until eventually, the tide is too much and the world must change.
I cannot believe we did the damn thing and partied at Berghain for 11 hours. A legendary night. No photos allowed.
This InfoWars caper is going a little too well. We need to staff up a bit. We're hiring a Social Media Lead, who will help make InfoWars the network of the future. We need someone who is extraordinarily online, has big ideas for how things break through in 2026, and can pull those ideas off quick.

We've had a number of older pedestrians and cyclists killed by drivers recently in Massachusetts, and something I've noticed is how those deaths are treated even more dismissively than usual because of ageism and ableism. People of *all* ages and abilities deserve safe mobility.
The room in our hostel is illuminated by the doner kebap sign across the street.
I would be happy to moderate an academic decathlon with the candidates
We are proud to support the 23rd annual Disability Pride Parade! Our agency's mission is to deliver quality, affordable transit services that link people, jobs and communities. We're committed to making our system 100% accessible to accomplish this mission.
Some of you Chicago folks need to start posting sky photos for those of us abroad getting storm FOMO.
These cops at the 57th Street underpass were still there nearly six hours later when I passed through, and I was forced to open my bag full of groceries for an inspection before I could bike home.
This happened again yesterday. The police took over the lakefront in Hyde Park for hours and hours. Each of these cop SUVs parked egregiously on our busiest bike trail at 4pm had two cops sitting in it.
Who is being served here, Chicago? And what is being protected?
This month is the 36th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act and it reminds me that the ADA could not be passed today. It probably couldn’t get a vote in committee today.
Bye bye USA! 👋🏼 Don't worry I'll come back. My dog is here.
Once weed is federally legalized, I am begging for smoking lounges past airport security. I have literally nothing to do but sit and chill, let me get stoned!!!!
Woke up in a panic thinking the commotion on the back steps was the construction crew coming up and down a day early. Turns out it was the neighbor's golden retriever on an adventure.
Wow a forthcoming three week vacation (yay!) really lights a fire under one's ass as far as getting shit done goes.
Why didn't the eagles just fly Odysseus straight to Ithaca
No other way to do trash collection along the lakefront trail than with a full size garbage truck. And this is not to shame the driver, who was almost certainly assigned the route and the equipment.
Fun fact: While Jews made up less than 1% of the population of Argentina, they comprised up to 12% of those disappeared during the Dirty War, due to the antisemitism of the right-wing junta and the association of Jews with leftism. More Jews were killed in the Argentine Dirty War than on 10/7/2023.
Yes, Argentina, that country that has famously never dabbled in antisemitism, unlike Spain. Just don't ask the people in Javier Milei's government where all of their ancestors came from and why.
Went outside after they started handing out medals to clean some patio furniture. I sure hope the president didn't find new ways to embarrass this country and spoil the mood of hard working athletes during their moment of joy and celebration.
I'm just watching the game at home on my couch and I really regret not being out with the people during that truly singular viewing experience.
What is this fever dream of a halftime show?!
