My name is Taraji. I created this account for my elderly mother (70 years old) who suffers from diabetes and nerve weakness. She lives in a crowded tent with my brother’s family, but she needs a quiet tent of her own to escape the noise and stress. 💔😞

Black people actually did call all of this, so did Indigenous people. White people just thought we were exaggerating because you were fine with the violence toward communities that you thought wouldn't include you. But the thru line from eugenics, bleach, and Ivermectin to here was incredibly clear

My thesis is that no matter how doomer you were in Nov. 2024, we're probably past your worst-case scenario for the first 9 months of this administration.

It's very strange for me to realize I wasn't pessimistic enough.

Horrifying— Barbara Gomes Marques went with her US citizen husband and lawyer on 9/16 to a green card appointment at USCIS office in downtown LA where she was tricked into walking down a hallway away from them, was snatched by ICE and never came back. She now faces imminent deportation in Louisiana.

Pregnancy Justice @pregnancyjust.bsky.social · 8d
We have NEW research on pregnancy-related prosecutions in the first two years after Dobbs, and there are surely more cases.

They show us that giving rights to fertilized eggs, embryos, and fetuses paves the way for people to be ARRESTED and PUNISHED for all pregnancy outcomes — beyond abortion.
In the two years after Dobbs, prosecutors initiated at least 412 cases charging people with crimes related to pregnancy, pregnancy loss, or birth. Prosecutors criminalized 31 people who experienced a pregnancy loss in the 2 years after Dobbs. Pregnancy related prosecutions happened in 16 states. These were the top 3: Alabama, Oklahoma, and South Carolina. Most cases involve allegations of substance use during pregnancy - 399/412 Most cases began in a medical setting - 264/412 Most cases involved the family policing system - 217/412

If you pick up the Guardian Weekend Magazine today, please read about my daughter Milly’s battle with Lyme disease. And if you’re feeling bold, drop your copy into your local GP. There are thousands of Millys out there. Most are currently not helped at all by the NHS or, worse, not believed.

All new guest essay for the DVP by Shannon Pagdon:

“When coercion in care makes Kilmeade’s ‘just kill ’em’ thinkable”

disabilityvisibilityproject.com/2025/09/26/w...
Photo of a memorial plaque at Tiergartenstraße 4 in Berlin. The inscription reads: “Honor to the forgotten victims. At this site, at Tiergartenstraße 4, the first National Socialist mass murder was organized starting in 1940, named after this address: Aktion T4. From 1939 to 1945, almost 200,000 defenseless people were killed. Their lives were described as ‘unworthy of life,’ their murder called euthanasia. They died in the gas chambers of Grafeneck, Brandenburg, Hartheim, Pirna, Bernburg, and Hadamar; they died by firing squads, by deliberate starvation, and by poison. The perpetrators were scientists, doctors, nurses, members of the judiciary, the police, and of the health and labor administrations. The victims were poor, desperate, defiant, or in need of help. They came from psychiatric clinics and children’s hospitals, from nursing homes and welfare institutions, from military hospitals and camps. The number of victims was vast; the number of perpetrators convicted was very small.”
