I am also going to add , that part of the reasons we don’t means test is because of how often disabled people are abused by people in their own families .

That the PARENTS being rich doesn’t mean they actually take care of the kids and in fact often use that as control
I don't care if a non-disabled person accesses a disability accommodation for the same reason I don't care if a child whose parents are rich gets free lunch at school. We don't need to means test being a kind person. I have better things to do with my time than be a cop over social services.

My mum died of COVID complications this year.
I watched Indians gasp for breath in hospital parking lots and mass pyres burning and freezer trucks and healthcare workers crashing out.

Not gonna lie lads, it’s fucking bleak over here.

Trans people can’t fight this on their own, cis women need to start leaving and boycotting these organisations that exclude trans women.

I go where my trans partner goes, if she can’t go I don’t go. We all have to do this.

Federal agents have started dispersing across immigrant neighborhoods in New Orleans, marking the latest front in the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown. DHS confirmed the operation in a statement, calling it “Swamp Sweep.”

Protesters emphasized that the presence of federal officers on city streets was instilling widespread fear, including among U.S. citizens and lawful residents.

My spouse is attending a community college in MI right now. He said his classmates are unabashedly using ChatGPT for on the spot answers....its an associates program for godsakes.
Agreed. Best yet on the utter disaster university administrators and AI oligarchs have enacted.
This is a great read. Must read really.

Have a plan in place now.
If you are a chair of a department or supervise grad students, it might be important to collaborate with your colleagues on ways to strategize when a "problem essay" comes down the pike. It's one small way of protecting each other.

Section 18.3.2.1 of the Department of Defense Law of War Manual requires military members to refuse compliance with clearly illegal orders that violate the law of war.

Moreover, the same Section specifically cites attacking shipwrecked sailors as an example of an illegal order! 🤨🤷‍♂️

This lack of acknowledgment mirrors policy decisions that have already led to so much death and suffering globally. We must keep raising our voices to ensure everyone has access to care, treatment and support. #WAD2025
Today is World AIDS Day.

“An awareness day is not a strategy” is the US government's rationale for not publicly acknowledging World AIDS Day for the first time since the inaugural WAD in 1988.

OU administration would never--never--stand with its instructors.

I have never met a bunch more in complete lockstep with the reactionary Christian right and more eager to do the bidding of orgs like TPUSA and Fox News.
Administration should be standing with the instructor.

This goes beyond cowardice.
OU has put the professor here on administrative leave:

A lot of editors don't even know about media magnification. One of the shocking things - to me - when I left journalism school was how little editors knew about like the study of journalism as a discipline. It's a profession based in norms even if those norms are harmful.
Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

Yes they have it. They need to return the skull- it is part of their rites and it is disgusting. Yalie here and no I wasn't in Bones but one hears things.
While we’re on the topic:

Letters I found in Yale archives said Skull and Bones members took Native American remains from a grave in Oklahoma in 1918.

Also, in his last term, Trump mused about shooting protestors in the legs. The man is a convicted felon who issued illegal orders regularly to his top company officers.

I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

Noah Schnapp (plays Will Beyers) is a Zionist, racist, and genocide supporter.

He’s made horrible comments and been allowed to keep his job whilst they fired Susan Surandon and Melissa Berrara for speaking up for Palestine.
