I hope everyone will forgive the bluntness of my language, but it seems like bluntness is warranted: it now seems pretty clear that the president raped children or at least knew about and actively facilitated the rape of children.

I think it is time we stopped using coded language to say that.

The difference between a human trafficker and a law enforcement officer doing their job is due process. ICE does not give its detainees due process, and regularly sends innocent people to one of the most hellish prisons on Earth. They are the moral equivalent of slave catchers.
How can you make any concession to the Trump deportation machine when they’re sending some migrants to Gitmo and CECOT?

I honestly can’t stop thinking about this RFK speech. A lot of the outrage around it is focused on pointing out that it’s not true.

But so fucking what if it was? Do people whose bodies don’t work not deserve to exist in society? If all these things were true for a person are they less worthy?

We have been lied to by the fishing industry.

I believe this is one of the great scandals of our age, comparable to oil corporations’ denial of climate change.

Global fishing regulations are based on a pseudoscience contrived to justify cutting the world’s fish populations in half.

A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.

Today is the 35th anniversary of the Capitol Crawl, in which disabled activists discarded their mobility aids at the foot of the Capitol steps to climb them in support of passage of the Americans with Disabilities Ac. Jennifer Keelan-Chaffins, 8, told reporters "I'll take all night if I have to!"
