Chap is doing better. The longer test for Addison’s was negative and they aren’t sure what caused his health episode.

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal."
That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism.
It’s disgusting and dangerous.
If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign.
Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness.
To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.

I don't understand how some folks are unable to see that the illegal disappearing of people is a class issue. The wealthy and well-connected get due process. The rest of us don't. This is part of the oligarchy, not a distraction from it.

Book 5 of the book advent calendar is Compound Fracture by Andrew Joseph White. It’s a YA queer Appalachian thriller with disability representation.
ID1: A book is wrapped in black paper a 5 on it.
ID2: The cover a white trans teen and a dog.

1. Yesterday, Representative Nancy Mace shouted an anti-trans slur into the microphone at a congressional hearing three times in a row.
When pointed out that she was egregiously breaking decorum, the chair ruled she was not.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

I actually wish the media would stop using "DEI" and "diversity hiring" and just get to the essence of the thing and ask:
"Are you saying that this crash was caused by desegregating the races?"
And see what happens.

REPORTER: Are you saying this crash was somehow was the result of diversity hiring?

DC Children's Hospital has just contacted me to tell me my reporting is "inaccurate" that they have stopped providing gender affirming care.
How is it inaccurate?
They still provide "mental healthcare."

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country
