Everyone in New England hates everyone in the other parts of New England for (semi-)valid reasons, but I tell you--the activation that happens when you hear they are coming into New England to start shit is real.

“Once operational, Revolution Wind alone will provide hundreds of millions of dollars each year in energy bill savings to New England,” is the punchline. Stated under oath, in a sworn affidavit.

Took my 5yo son to the Wu for his first orthodontist appointment. He got out of the car, looked around and said very matter of factly “this is where the Great Depression happened.”

With SCOTUS set to legalize conversion therapy, I think it's important for states to get around this decision by implementing new legislation applying private rights of action to practitioners of conversion therapy by their victims with large damages and long statutes of limitations.

the fact that so many people frame autism as “a problem that needs to be solved” is a constant reminder that being “not normal” isn’t acceptable to a large amount of the world. it’s the same reason there’s a trans panic right now too. they think people are defective

When everyone rushed "back to normal", disabled people begged you not to leave us by the wayside.

We pleaded with you to understand the threat had not passed.

No one listened. We were labelled 'expendable'.

When you make yourself the arbiter of another person's worth, you lose your moral compass.

Krasner: So, if what you have is a group of ICE agents, or even the military, coming into Philadelphia and committing crimes—assaults that are illegal, kidnapping, unlawful restraint, obstruction of the administration of justice—they can be prosecuted.

May this portion of the dissent by Ketanji Brown Jackson haunt John Roberts forever and be the final word on his tenure as Chief Justice.

There’s no words for the rage I feel when I think about RFK Jr’s decision to cut funding for this life saving research.

His anti-vaxx grift has already killed and disabled many people.

Measles is back. Covid is still here and still killing.

Now he’s basically siding with cancer.

Can we please get mandatory masking back on cancer wards and healthcare settings now?

We know COVID can be oncogenic.

We know it’s a much higher risk to those who are immune compromised.

Yet healthcare workers won’t mask around cancer patients & many have died.

Mask up!

thinking about how in 2021 a man in california was made to work in violation of covid regulations and he brought it home to his wife and she died and a judge on his lawsuit ruled companies couldn’t be held responsible for the effects of covid. that case could have changed things

At 18 Zorhan Mamdani failed to tip his top hat to me after I tipped mine to him. I shouted to his back 'pistols at dawn at the Heights then sir!' yet at dawn he was nowhere to be seen. I have held my tongue these long years but today I say enough, I demand satisfaction!

Republicans keep saying the “genuinely disabled” don’t have to worry about losing Medicaid.

All disabilities are genuine.

You also need healthcare to get a diagnosis. To get the paperwork done. To “prove it”.

They’re ensuring people get trapped in red tape loopholes so they can’t get care.
