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!"

This is what many cities in the U.S. looked like before the EPA.
Why the heck would anyone celebrate deregulating it?

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation.
I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

You don't need to be a coder to figure this out. Simply type: tab age
You'll discover a smattering of 99 year olds, a few 100 year olds, a couple of 101 year olds, and a pileup of 150 year olds, but no-one in their 130s or 140s. That's a clear sign you've discovered a coding issue rather than fraud

PSA: The reason Medicaid & food stamps are on the chopping block to pave the way for more GOP tax cuts for the rich is because poor people don’t have better lobbyists.

Fact checking literally saves lives
A false claim about USAID was viewed ~80 million times on X before there was a correction just 10 hours later. How many more people saw the falsehood compared to the correction?

On a more personal note, I decided I should get a TDap since it’s been more than 10 years. You have to confirm that you’ve read CDC guidance.
Next page was that I had been approved as having read the required CDC guidance. Dystopian times.

I estimate if the US Army Corps continues throwing away #water from these reservoirs for three days, Tulare County farmers will lose 5 billion gallons of water that should have been available this summer growing season.
About 1.6 billion gallons a day.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers just opened up two California dams. A spokesperson says the flows are 'controlled' and being coordinated with local officials.
