Just to be really explicit about what’s happening here, the cover conflates age, physical disability, and cognitive disability, and goes on to conflate disability with unfitness for office. It’s utter bullshit.

IMO this is a straight-up ageist and ableist image, no?

i mentioned this before but the last week or two has fully clarified that the rest of our lives is a drag-out fight against the supreme court that starts with priming the public to enthusiastically support — or at the very least resist decorum-based media calls against — completely rebuilding it

the exploitation of this Chevron ruling is just getting warmed up and is going to ratfuck every last effort at policy reform or corporate oversight across every sector and issue in the country

More info from my local, the DC Abortion Fund, about why they're cutting back their hours and service area

today, a guy driving an SUV with a thin blue line sticker + "LGB" on his back window nearly ran me off the road b/c he didn't look before changing lanes. He then cut me off, rolled down his window, made a gun sign with his hands and pretended to shoot at me. i'm pretty done with this week
