Anyone can become disabled at any time. It’s one of the few minority groups you can always join.

Even if you do everything “right”. Even if you’re young and healthy. Even if you “try hard”

It’s not a moral failing. It’s a part of life.

If more people would accept that and work with us, we would all be better off.

Every major news outlet is carrying two stories simultaneously: the leaked pentagon report saying the US bombing of Iran’s nuclear sites only put their program back a few months AND Marco Rubio’s denial of that claim.

Dear journalists - if I wanted completely unintelligible crap, I’d still be on twitter.

Your job is to find out what’s real. Not to simply to perpetuate the confusion.

On this day in 1978, the rainbow flag first flew as a symbol of pride. It was raised at San Francisco Gay Freedom Day.

@GottaLaff this I don’t know what drugs he’s using, but this is madness on speed. Once he starts talking about nuclear weapons, and sounding wistful about Hiroshima and Nagasaki, all alarms are ringing.

@lauren Soooo……how are we to know if they are destroying history behind closed doors?

BREAKING: Trump locks the general public out of the National Archives

And these are the same snowflakes who couldn’t handle wearing a mask during the pandemic.

If Will Bunch wrote it, you should read it.©

" #Trump said you can measure a presidency by the wars you avoid, and for once he was right. Saturday's Iran bombing was the exclamation point on his abject failure

Trump is copying dictators from Mussolini to Putin in seeking glory through pointless war"

2/ "This is not America’s war. Those bombs were not dropped on Iran in my name, or yours. This is Donald Trump’s war, and his alone. There is arguably no justification for waging unprovoked war, either under U.S. or international law. There is certainly no moral or logical justification. In launching an attack without consent from Congress, without public debate, and with minimal consultation with allies, Trump’s move is the 180-degree opposite of what America’s founders intended."

@GottaLaff didn’t we just read he would continue his “maybe yes, maybe no “ limbo for two weeks and emerge the big decider then? Turns out he just couldn’t resist jumping in. War, death means nothing to him. Playing with our lives like we are his little toy soldiers, all the losers and suckers. And then proclaims Peace. Like an effing reality show. I bet he’s glued to a screen watching explosions. And next up Iran retaliates. Against us. Making America great again, just like Iraq. Yay, us, right?

@Nonilex@masto.ICE is the national emergency. Stephen Miller gets his wet dream of terror.

But the #Trump admin wants to more than double the existing 41k beds for detaining #immigrants to at least 100k beds & — if #PrivatePrison executives’ predictions are accurate — possibly to >150k.

#ICE declared a national *emergency* on the US border w/ #Mexico as part of its justification for authorizing nine 5-year contracts for a combined 10,312 beds without “Full & Open Competition.”

My last day of work at the World Trade Center was Sept 10, 2001. I worked late, so I was going to go in late the next day. I never made it in (the planes hit in the morning). I was at 5 WTC, a 9 story building between the towers, all my coworkers evacuated

What I remember most were the missing person posters, especially plastered all over Grand Central Terminal

Now we experience it again with #ICE under #Trump

Powered by the same stupid hate and fear that powered 9/11

Of course #Trump is attacking #California. The state is the epitome of #diversity and importantly, Whites are in a shrinking minority statewide. Hispanics, Asians and Blacks, in that order, comprise a majority in the state, and a big majority in LA and Orange Counties. So naturally this is where the #TrumpAdministration will focus its illegal kidnapping and terror campaign - which is clearly designed to intimidate POC, students, journalists and liberals. The idea is to dominate major California cities with overt shows of force; armed, masked men without uniforms or ID, and create terror among targeted groups. It won’t work, quite the opposite as anger and resistance mount. #politics #USPol #USPolitics #RepublicansDidThis

@skinnylatte what a beauty. She’s a Queen.

@Rachelburch I want to be here. Can I just be here and shut out the rest of the world?
