Disabled people should not be forced into institutions just because you don’t think they “deserve” housing and support.

Institutions cost the tax payer more money, but they also rob people of autonomy and control.

With adequate support we can retain our independence which helps us thrive.

"Trump did not achieve lasting peace in Gaza. He didn’t achieve a week of peace in Gaza. Because Trump only cares about Trump, and whatever narrative can be wrangled in support of Trump is what he’s going with, regardless of the consequences."

The Six Day Peace

Yet another Trump failure.

So, per reporting from Zeteo’s Asawin Suebsaeng, in today’s new ‘First Draft’ newsletter, Trump tried to get a newly-divorced Russ Vought, Project 2025 architect & now budget chief, laid at Mar-a-Lago.

The details are, ahem, as crude as you’d expect from Trump.

Why does anything need the Noalition's help?

There's an environmentally progressive cross bench with numbers that render The Leftovers irrelevant, whining & whimpering into the RWNJ media ether

Unless ALP want a watered down piece of window dressing, sniping that The Greens don't do Real Politick?

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

Watching the eternal denial over Dan Andrews is like hearing someone insist the sun didn’t rise this morning.

The man won 3 elections, winning more seats each time, and left his opponents in a smoking ruin.

Is there a medical diagnosis for this level of denialism?
