If you see this, repost with your model of positive masculinity.
The thing is that he's a raging bastard but his approach to masculinity is
1. Be a wife guy
2. Don't let anybody else get away with being a bastard
3. Don't let himself get away with it either
Who watches the watchman?
I DO

Utah is revving up their battle to institutionalize those who rely on home and community based Medicaid waivers in order to stay out of institutions and remain in their homes with their families. Irony? Living at home is over 3x LESS expensive than institutions. #utah #disability #downsyndrom

Imagine, if you will, that NASA updated its website to suggest gravity might not exist, prompting CalTech and CERN to release statements saying, "With great sadness, we can no longer recommend listening to NASA."
This is what's happening in epidemiology.

The U.S. government is now inarguably spreading medical disinformation that is going to kill babies preferentially.
Period.
This is an INTOLERABLE. UNPRECEDENTED. DANGEROUS. ATTACK. ON ALL OF US.

Disability education should not be put into HHS because it's not a health issue, it's an education issue. The idea that disability = health is dehumanizing and, frankly, simply wrong.

"Charlotte's Web" is a story about a tiny and nearly invisible creature using the only skills she has to protect a friend and neighbor who's about to be butchered to make the farmer some money, and he returns the favor by caring for her children. Just in case you needed the reminder.

This sounds strange to say, but I am wondering if pushing for the release of the Epstein files is actually the best move. I want these people behind bars. Would publicizing the evidence "taint" the jury and make it hard to get convictions?

Ranked choice voting, explained
Ranked choice voting is used in Minneapolis, St. Paul, St. Louis Park, Bloomington and Minnetonka elections. It’s complicated, but not that complicated. Here’s a refresher on the process.

They need a work requirement. You know, like what they want Medicare, Medicaid, unemployment, SNAP and disability recipients to do.
Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 85th day out of the last 97.
12 days of work in over 3 months.
With full pay and benefits.
The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.
It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.
