Qatar: "Here comes a plane open your country so we can build an airbase to land it" ✈️
Trump: "weeeh weeh" 👶 "go go ga ga"
Everyone is being slowly held accountable for any contact with Jeffrey Epstein...
Except for a particular person who partied with him and whatnot, because
somehow he's now too big to be accountable for anything (?)

#Trump Appointees Roll Back Enforcement of #FairHousing Laws
Interviews & internal documents show that signature #CivilRights protections in housing are being dismissed as ideologically driven & *#DEI* in disguise.

Today’s autism announcement was just as bad as we feared
Trump blamed Tylenol & vaccines for autism
He encouraged women to just “tough out” their pain
He praised people who don’t “need” meds or vaccines
These are eugenicist talking points & they’re devastating to the disability community.
My latest looks at the threat to our lives, as well as how we can support one another.
We must not give up hope, but we need our non disabled allies to fight with us.
Refuse to see us as expendable and help us demand better:

on why settler-colonialism is an aboslute evil, how a people and their culture co-exist and evolve with nature, how their language is specific to their way of life, and how their way of life is shaped by the land on which they live. Ultimately, uprooting a people, forcing them to move to another land, necessarily destroys their way of life and erases their culture.

80 minute documentary film “Israelism“ (by Vice, on YouTube)This film makes very clear what motivates Jewish pro-Palestinian people in the US to protest, and how their Jewish faith makes their conviction in peace and humanitarianism so powerful.

The closer we get to Election Day, the more intent the Far Right (in this case, Stephen Miller) is on cock blocking democracy.
Share widely and take action: Tell the EAC to stop the Miller-proposed 'Show Me Your Papers' rule for voting.

I know there's a general "cause fatigue" with the current state of the world, and I feel it too.
But in my years working in privacy,
I don't think I've seen anything as terrifying as this European Chat Control proposal. And I'm not even European.
Everyone needs to pay
much more attention and be much more worried and outraged about this.
This proposal is the most dystopian glimpse into a horrible authoritarian future I have seen so far in the West.
It looks dismal, but we can still stop it
if we all work TOGETHER NOW ✊
There isn't much time left though,
so don't put it to next week.
Democracy dies in silence.
Everyone: Learn more here
Everyone: Spread the word on social media
Europeans 🇪🇺 Contact your local media NOW
Europeans 🇪🇺 Contact your MEPs NOW
The final vote is on October 14th,
but media and representatives need to receive your messages NOW, so they have enough time to act on it.

Chicago is in Cook County and now courts are safer.
"Cook County’s top judge signed an order barring ICE from arresting people at court."
"...bars the civil arrest of any “party, witness, or potential witness” while going to court proceedings. It includes arrests inside courthouses and in parking lots, surrounding sidewalks and entryways."

Congratulations to #UCLA for its victory in court against the Trump administration. This is the first step in the reinstatement of approved but unlawfully withheld research grants.

PS: No university that has brought such a suit has lost. Harvard and UCLA have both won. There's no reason for other universities in the same boat to capitulate.

Trump is adding a 100% tariff to branded pharmaceuticals made outside the US.
This move could be devastating to the disability community.
It will likely drive costs up and create more supply chain issues at a time when we’re already seeing unprecedented medication shortages
The vast majority of people enrolled in #healthcare plans under the #AffordableCareAct [#ACA] receive additional #federal #TaxCredits that were first expanded by President #Biden & #Congress in 2021.
Those subsidies, set to expire at the end of the year, are now the subject of a standoff between #Democratic & #Republican lawmakers.

The foundational belief of the right wing is this:
I am rich because of my hard work, not just because I was born rich. You are poor because you are lazy, not just because you were born poor.

Disabled people are particularly vulnerable to abuse under fascism.
ICE has been neglecting the medical needs of detainees for a long time.
One disabled immigrant, Rodney Taylor, needs our help.
He’s filed a habeas corpus claim in federal court and there’s a petition circulating for his release.
He’s been held for more than eight months, put in solitary confinement and denied access to his new prosthetic legs.
Let’s tell his story. Let’s raise awareness for the horrendous conditions detainees are being forced to endure.
Let’s make ICE pay for what they’ve done.

New today: More than 1,000 captive trophy-hunting ranches operate in the United States, most of them in Texas. Some routinely offer hunts of endangered or threatened exotic species. This should not be allowed.
