I have been on a long break but I couldn't pass up a chance to cheer for NASA and Artemis II. Space should have never been privatized. I wouldn't mind seeing an international funded joint space program and get back to the science. Maybe someday we will have a Star Trek future.

I did see this in one video but I can tell you being a gen xer and living with a boomer what will absolutely sink Trump's support for war with Iran, rising gas prices. It's an engrained trigger from long ago, or maybe bc it's something they can tangibly see. Whatever it is it pisses off the olds.

Polis being a fucking corp Dem again. Good thing he's on his way out this year. Let's see if he does it. I'm guessing trump is threatening some evil shit for Colorado and as a disabled peep I'm sure it's about Medicaid. Gah I'm so pissed.

I am a blind gal. I have night blindness and I'm not even sure I would have been able to get myself to a safe place in the middle of nowhere, at night, in the cold. Then add that he couldn't speak English. Nurul deserved better long before this but he definitely didn't deserve to be murdered by Ice.

Here I am as a disabled gal unable to talk about the trump admin cutting off funding for medical equipment. And I'm here with an appointment to talk to my doctor on Monday about getting an ambulatory wheel chair. I guess I'll continue to be home bound for a while. When I'm not sad I'll say more.

Mutual aid is where it's at! It is a good way for people with accessibility, risk, or family concerns. It's a good way for you to use your skills and to get creative. It's an excellent way to help vulnerable populations while being a part of non-violent direct resistance. And you can start today.

This is cruel and unusual punishment. Trump admin is using this as a test case to see how far he can go with eventually banning trans care across the board. This is why we so desperately need Dems that stand up for trans rights by listening to the trans community.

Mike nails it yet again. Also Waj was brilliant taking down Jeffries. We need new leadership that has a spine to say things that the techno fasc donors don't like. Fuck them. We can have a Dem party centered on human rights and focus on the working class. Be brave to stand on your message.

Great thread. I would add the left has also asked for an increase in the minimum wage and removing dark money from politics, which is popular across the board, and have been told "No it's not time" . Or we get lip service without a working policy.

Excellent disability rep BTW. See this is a thing writers can learn from. They listened to the actor and not their ableism. When you let us in the room we can share our experiences in ways that enrich narratives.

Back a million years ago I was sitting in a docs waiting room and a Time mag caught my eye. The cover was of a young senator Obama and the article talked about his sudden popularity. I knew something was special about him (ugh). I feel the same thing about AOC. Her time might be now. Prez 2028!

Her story could have very well been mine, or that of the disability community. Her story broke me when it came out. We already know there is a eugenics movement alive in the trump admin. That disabled people are the victims of discrimination, injury and death in detention. When will you believe us.

CNN fails to mention a few things, yet again. Liam is currently very sick in custody, this is believed to be the poor conditions, lack of food that's not rotting, and frankly bc little bodies cannot deal with all of that. None of the kids there are safe and they all need to be released immediately.

All of the policing around organizers’ tactics are rooted in the ideology of the “perfect victim,” which… - Is full of contradictions, making it impossible to be a perfect victim - Blames victims for their oppressors’ violence - Fails to recognize that our oppressors just lie anyway

ICE doesn't just affect the disabled people in detention, it affects the disabled people left in families, community bonds, and even care settings. Again this is why the disability community needs to be included in these conversations. Convos about tactics, health, security, and community support.

Interesting perspective on boarder surveillance from one of my favs. Go like his channel. My only critique is at the end about the AI apocalypse, which I agree is bullocks in a future dystopian frame as surveillance & environmental more dangerous. But tech bros are a death cult thus still bad news.

If you wonder why your Dem politician isn't talking about abolishing ICE it's because the Dems wait to get into power to use the same systems that the right wing uses just more quietly. It's the same terror no matter who is in office. Primary your local Dem SOB today.

Primaries are where you get to let the Dems know what you want from them. Zohran taught us that volunteers make the difference and so do your donations. This is especially important in safe blue seats where we can actually get out these feckless corporate Dems.
