If you are trying to imagine a new future -- and your imaginings don't include disabled people -- you are at best wasting your effort.
Because we aren't going away.

Trump’s declaration that he 'couldn’t care less' if his damaging tariffs cause prices to go up is a mighty big reversal from his promise to bring down prices ‘drastically.’ His ‘Liberation Day’ only liberates dollars from Americans’ wallets with the added danger of liberating many entrepreneurs from failed businesses as tariffs spike costs. Trump's tariffs for all represent a big tax hike for all Americans to pay. Americans will not be fooled by repeated Administration claims that tariffs are tax cuts.
Not seen since Senator Smoot and Representative Hawley pursued a similar disastrous path leading to the Great Depression has any president pursued such a crusade of protectionism that now has us barreling toward recession.
Trump and Republicans are scheming to finance trillions in tax breaks for billionaires and large corporations. Their reckless actions further isolate us from our trading allies and help lay the groundwork for tax giveaways that the average family will never see but only help finance.

You don't want to miss this show with @llcycore. She is one of the most brilliant people I know and I really enjoyed this conversation.

How do you argue that Generative AI Services have not misappropriated & misused data when tech CEO's are out here on full display admitting to it, claiming it doesn't matter, it's for a higher purpose, they can't build without it & acknowledging violation of copyright & privacy?

Trump-aligned GA election board voted to require hand count of Election Day ballots even after GOP AG & sec of state said illegal. 11th hour rule changes designed to slow vote count, give Republicans pretext not to certify election if Harris wins motherjones.com/politics/202…

Here's Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp in April 2022 signing Senate Bill 319, the law that allows anyone to carry a concealed handgun in public without first obtaining a license.
I have directed all available state resources to respond to the incident at Apalachee High School and urge all Georgians to join my family in praying for the safety of those in our classrooms, both in Barrow County and across the state. (1/2)
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
SB319 doesn’t allow “anyone” to carry without a license. It only allows “lawful weapons carriers”—i.e. people who are eligible for a license under Georgia law. Among other things, that means a person must be 21 years old. The shooter was 14 and he was not carrying a handgun.

Mike Collins represents GA-10 where Apalachee High School is located. Here's the commercial he made when he first ran for congress.
Leigh Ann and I are praying for the victims, their families, and all students at Apalachee High School in Barrow County.
We extend our gratitude to law enforcement for their swift action to secure the school and get the shooter in custody.
I have spoken with Sheriff Smith and told him my team and I are available to assist in any way necessary. We will continue to monitor and provide updates as prudent.

From the Israel-Paraguay soccer game. Amid the tightest security for any sporting event I’ve ever attended, this man in an electric wheelchair somehow smuggled in this Palestinian flag for at least one visible show of resistance to sportswashing

Remember when we found out Clarence Thomas took a yacht trip to Russia and then flew in a private chopper to Putin’s favorite palace?
That was only six days ago.

Did you know that you can directly oppose the Heritage Foundation? As a 501c3 corporation, the Heritage Foundation is not allowed to participate in politics, let alone publish political manifestos. You can download Project 2025 pdf from the website and attach it to IRS Form 13909 and challenge their tax exempt status.
