Don’t Trust the Trumpsplainers
Their efforts to sell some MAGA “grand strategy” dull the pain but dim the brain.

An example of frustration in the long game while certain the short game is woefully inadequate
@chrislockyear.msf.org speaking at #UnitedNations: While statements are made in this chamber, civilians remain unseen, unprotected, bombed, besieged, raped, displaced, deprived of food, of medical care, of dignity.

This shift is so extreme that it is tempting to assume that he must backtrack—but when your people’s safety is at stake, denial is not a plan

Plans to redevelop a Northern Virginia warehouse site have long been complicated by the area’s worst-kept secret—the presence of a CIA facility. The GSA put the site up for sale anyway.

YES THIS HAPPENED. Also in a general sense if ASL interpreters are working one of my events and there is time, I try to give them access to any prepared materials and generally go over things that I suspect will present an issue for them. The idea they're not needed or useful is shitty ableist BS.
Reminds me of the time at WorldCon when an ASL interpreter completely stole the show from Scalzi by signing the HELL out of a short story filled with weird alien words. Scalzi was laughing too hard to read half the time.
ASL interpreters are valuable and amazing and must be protected.

Imagine being threatened and irritated by ASL interpreters. Shut this shit down. There is no validity to the "point", they are not valid, shut up, go away. Sick of these snowflakes.
