I got to fill in the “But your tests look fine” square on my chronic pain BINGO card today!

A woman’s Global Entry was revoked days after she legally observed ICE agents. ICE agents showed up to a polling place to demand a worker remove an anti-ICE post. A man was sentenced to 30 years in prison for moving a box of left-wing magazines. Trump’s crackdown on dissent is here. Be warned.

A 2023 @sltrib.com and ProPublica investigation found that one man felt compelled to drop his sexual assault complaint against his therapist after a failed polygraph test. The therapist, now in prison, continued to practice for two more years.

Utah Bans Polygraph Tests for Those Reporting Sexual Assault

A state legislator was moved to sponsor the bill — now signed into law — following a Salt Lake Tribune-ProPublica investigation that showed how polygraphs can retraumatize sexual abuse victims.

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

I don’t know when I ran out of the time or energy for imagination.

Christmas Eve, I tipped extra, and the DoorDash driver stole my food anyway! I hope you fu€king choke on it!

It turns out that in really bad at saying no, but really good at expecting to hear no.

That was always the plan

It’s a catch 22, but for like the past 40 years. It’s a catch 880.

Leaked document. Yikes, things are about to get much worse. It looks like we’re on the verge of becoming a military state across the country. Step out of line, and the man come and take you away.

Portland coffee shop offers free SNAP breakfast 'until everyone’s benefits are reinstated, or we go broke doing it'

The Heretic Coffee owner said Portland has recently been depicted as “some kind of rioting, looting, burning-down city” and “this act is just one small glimpse of the real Portland.”

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

It has been said before, but it bears repeating: the elderly who’ve worked their entire lives to get $800 a month on Social Security aren’t bankrupting America. It’s tax-evading billionaires like Trump who are bleeding this country dry.

Nearly all the staff in the Office of Special Education have been fired as part of Trump’s sweeping layoffs. These are the people responsible for protecting the civil rights of students with disabilities and ensuring they receive an equal education. More needless cruelty on display.

The Trump administration would do well to remember that New York sends far more to Washington than it gets back in return. Punishing the state over a mayoral candidate makes no sense.

Covid is a social justice issue. Mitigations like masks, anti virals, air purifiers and tests cost money. We should have free respirators in public places. Mandatory masking in hospitals. Clean air benchmarks. Paid time off. Those steps would drastically reduce spread.

The Trump Administration hates disabled folks and would rather see every disabled person dead than provide any form of aid or assistance

Hey friends, if you know that a band you like is going to be playing an inaccessible venue, consider reaching out to them and letting them know that your disabled friends can’t go if they play there.

They are so close to getting it!!!

I’ve done the math, and the musical act that I have seen perform live most often is Weird Al Yankovic.
