An end of a decade in DC. But don't worry, I will be back to make good trouble! Thanks for the memories.
Hope he sues the pants off Janine Pirro.
Free DC@freedcproject.bsky.social · 4d agoBaseless prosecutions abuse our judicial system and ruin lives. This case is a high-profile example but Jeanine Pirro's abuse of her office has hurt thousands of DC residents and still hurting people. She needs to be held accountable.
In my opinion, dogs are what makes life worth living. This is my friend's dog Wednesday. My friend passed away last weekend. We're both trying to find equilibrium. I feel like this picture captures how I've been feeling for the past few weeks.
You shouldn't lose rights just cause you're a college athlete. Saying this as a person who was a varsity wheelchair track athlete.
You just don't have rights if you're homeless and or have a mental health disability....

Rich people get to make "mistakes." Meanwhile, a disabled person makes one mistake that results in them losing their most basic legal rights.

FYI: policies like this are ableist and are often poorly designed, scoring people with neurodivergence, Black communities, and cultural minorities lower. This shouldn't be a stance of anyone in congress, but particularly the democrats.
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez@gluesenkampperez.house.gov · 2mo agoI recently asked Congress to enact a Mental Acuity Standard, but House members voted no. This can’t continue, we need to restore public faith in Congress.
Join us on Monday!

The only research center in the United States focused on disabled parents may close soon due to loss of federal funding. New from me at @motherjones.com. “It is a profound setback for disability rights and family equity.” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Staff call it a "profound setback for disability rights and family equity."

Meanwhile, folks kicked off SNAP are standing in long lines at food pantries. Hoovervilles have turned into Trumpvilles.

A rule change pushed by White House officials would slash benefits or end support for as many as 400,000 Supplemental Security Income recipients with Down syndrome, dementia and other disabilities whose parents or relatives receive SNAP benefits. (Published April)

Kicking vulnerable families and people off SNAP and forcing them to spend their energy on standing outside in 100+ temps is a great way to make sure they have the energy to work.
Food pantries see long summer lines as New Yorkers lose SNAP benefits in Trump overhaul
They say they have enough food for now but worry they’ll run out of supplies once more New Yorkers begin losing their SNAP benefits.

No one wants a more hesitant Democratic Party. Trump didn't get elected through overly manufactured talking points and middle ground stances. We need a party that stands FOR something other than tearing apart vulnerable communities.
Last night, Vizzini went into retirement mode. He is now headed to Maine with my parents and their pup. I know he will enjoy retirement. But I will miss him dearly. So thankful for my parents who agreed to take him so I can see him more often.

Yes. It's normal. Most news agencies write up memorials for famous folks before they pass. They do it in hopes of being one of the first to publish something.
Thomas Neville@goobermunch.bsky.social · 4w agoIs this normal?
It's not summer until you catch and release your first firefly.
It is "Glad you got the help you needed and as a human being you should be fighting to get the same protections and resources for everyone else."
Ana Marie Cox@anamariecox.com · last mo.As someone who has been struggling with this for months, if not years, without the ability to take any time off due to the crumbling economy and empty social safety net he helped create, I am torn between “glad you got the help you need” and “fuck off.”
A wild thing to have come out of this era is gossip media now reporting more accurately than mainstream media.
Justin Baragona@justinbaragona.bsky.social · last mo.TMZ DC with perhaps the most brutal video from Trump's Great American State Fair, showing Dr. Oz on stage bragging to Dean Cain about how big the crowd is, only for the reporter to pan around and show absolutely nobody is there.

I have never felt more uncomfortable on metro than I have today. The July 4/Freedom 250 folks are taking up seats. Glad I'm about to get out of this swamp for the weekend.
"The most successful movement actions have came about through collective action, which forces you to break the typical community boundaries to build towards collective liberation." #Next250
Honored to be speaking at "America Belongs to All of Us." As the Supreme Court and the administration continue to try to erase Black and brown migrants, those who have built this country with their blood, sweat, and tears, it's more important than ever to recognize what we've lost and our potential.
