War is a mass disabling event and any approach to disability justice should demand an end to war and a free Palestine, full stop.

“Some children think that their legs might grow again. This is one of the saddest things that we hear on a regular basis, when talking to children. They tell us, we’re waiting for our legs to grow again. Sometimes, it’s difficult to explain that that’s not going to happen.”

It’s time to lose all West Wing illusions about the thought work of the Democratic Party. They’re not smarter than the leftists who call them out. If they were, we wouldn’t be in this situation.

Biden should be using this image in everything.

That any elected officials participated in J6 is disturbing. That some of those folks also have prior records is bonkers.This guy's on a school board & has a been arrested for drunken driving & other crimes. He says he won't step down. That level of cognitive dissonace screams evangelical

Virginia school board member sentenced on Jan. 6 riot chargeswww.washingtonpost.com Miles Adkins, who has rejected calls to resign over his presence inside the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, pleaded guilty and was sentenced this week to 12 days in jail.

The New York Times and glossy profiles of Nazis- name a more enduring relationship

"Their rhetoric can sound expansive to the point of opacity. 'As the great men of the West bequeathed their deeds to us, so must we leave a legacy for our children,' the group’s website proclaims." Yeah, um... ...that's only opaque if you don't know what the Fourteen Words are

This is Stephen Miller's law firm. They're also currently repping a TV reporter suing CBS-LA for being anti-white, which as a former CBS-LA reporter I think is absolutely laughable. But they're trying to create still more legal precedent for a racist takeover, it's clear

The Northwestern lawsuit is an example of the White gaze in action: “White gaze is the operational norm of White space wherein Black people are scrutinized through the lens of Whiteness, resulting in their exclusion, subordination, and objectification.” www.reuters.com/legal/legali...

Northwestern law school sued for discrimination against white men in faculty hiringwww.reuters.com A conservative group on Tuesday sued Northwestern University, claiming its law school discriminates against white men in faculty hiring and in the selection of articles that appear in its flagship law review.

i know i'm good & that i make great comics. but if you are not organically supporting them-- finding your way to them out of excitement rather than guilt, reading them out of joy & telling your friends-- neither of us gets anything out of it. i don't get fans that stay. you don't get a book you like

I wish more people were pointing this out to voters in Montana. (Maybe there are some people doing it out there? Let me know.) Public lands access is one of the few things that has cross-party support with voters (rich politicians? welll...) We also have a significant % of Native American voters.

No one has written about this (I will) but Project 2025 will destroy federal lands as we know it as well as any progress towards recognizing Native peoples.

It will take time and a lot of work to excise the appeasement impulse from Labour culture. I expect Starmer to make numerous unnecessary culture war concessions to conservatives and the far right out of a misguided fear of losing voters, even after this landslide victory.

Labour’s campaign was extremely cautious, and given past defeats I understand why. But now the UK center-left has a huge majority in a system with many fewer choke points than in the U.S. Let’s hope they’re ready to govern like the dominant party they now are

Not to be corny but I do think the ongoing aspiration to make America a pluralist democracy of equals is righteous, beautiful, and worth honoring, even if it has more often been the struggle of minorities & dissenters than the policy of the government. 🇺🇸

The US has military bases in 80 countries and a habit of trying to overthrow governments it doesn't like. If you're terrified of what's happening and are certain the worst is coming, well I hate to tell you - you aren't going to be able to escape it by fleeing.

In November, Israel arrested Mohammad Abu Salmiya on the claim that he facilitated the use of Al-Shifa as a "Hamas HQ". This was served to the west and Israeli public as justification for the storming and massacres in the hospital complex. After 7 months of torture, he was released without charges.

honestly hate that every time there's an industry bad actor, lists of "works by marginalized authors to support instead" start circulating like it's a moral obligation to be done out of guilt, & it's crickets every other day of the year. my art is not to be taken in as a reactionary measure
