☎️ Call House leadership directly at 202-519-4583 or find a script at fftf.link/KOSAsneakattack and urge them to block this censorship sneak attack. KOSA should stay dead!

Defenders of subminimum wage often argue that disabled people w/ cognitive disabilities just won't be hired if they have to be paid at least minimum wage. A study published in @JAMAHealthForum today shows this isn't true. My latest for @MotherJones motherjones.com/politics/2024/…

At the start of COVID, the government implemented many social programs that helped people who were struggling. These programs were immensely popular. Yet instead of fighting hard to extend and expand them, Democrats prematurely declared the pandemic was over and let them expire.

The genocide in Gaza has produced more CO2 emissions that the annual emissions of 135 countries COMBINED. We cannot separate the acceleration of climate catastrophes from the environmental cost of Israel’s barbarism. Zionism is not only destroying Gaza, it’s destroying our planet

The scale of the flooding currently unfolding in Valencia, Spain is unfathomable. This is footage from Chiva, where a jaw-dropping 343 mm of rain was recorded in just 4 hours earlier today, between 4:30 PM and 8:30 PM. Video credit: Nalabcer

Let me make this clear. This is as abhorrent as what Giuliani said about Palestinians at MSG. Just as racist and dehumanizing. Just as bloodthirsty. Even if it's cloaked in civility and more flowery. It's the same damn speech.

Bill Clinton in Michigan: "I understand why young Palestinian and Arab Americans in Michigan think too many people have died — I get that, but…" "Hamas makes sure that they're shielded by civilians, they'll force you to kill civilians, if you want to defend yourself."

This is exactly what’s happened. Democrats and their voters have not only accepted large-scale harm towards vulnerable people abroad, and the cost for their rights here, they’ve co-opted radical messaging and call it a form of liberation and radical justice. Nasty, nasty work.

The notion that a certain level of human loss is "acceptable" has enabled the escalation of violence to genocidal proportions, with the same logic Obama’s administration fostered now wielded by others to justify large-scale, indiscriminate harm.

🚨NEW Report: Probation is thought of as an "alternative" to incarceration. But is it actually? Well, 1 in 10 people admitted to state prisons every year have committed no new crime, but have simply broken a rule of their probation...🧵 prisonpolicy.org/reports/probat…

Yesterday I tried to take my sign that said "There is no disability justice without a Free Palestine - this is the biggest cohort of child amputees in history" to the children's wing of the State Library Victoria, named after donors who support Netanyahu & Israel's genocide. 🧵

The Biden Harris Admin wants to let everyone know that they can also ban asylum seekers. Not just Trump. They are still in this race to be most evil. Don't count them out of evil yet! They've got way more evil left.

NEWS: The Biden administration's is moving forward with plans to cement its sweeping asylum restrictions at the US-Mexico border, officials tell CBS News. The changes, planned for next week, would make it far less likely for the strict rules to be lifted. cbsnews.com/news/biden-asy…

Black people are more than just victims of police brutality & the criminal justice system treating us more harshly, we're also victims of environmental racism. This means that more plants and factories are put in closer proximity that harm us as well as our environment. This is…

The pandemic should have led to universal health care, paid sick leave, upgraded ventilation in millions of buildings, massive investment in preventive healthcare and ongoing vaccination campaigns. Instead we got $1200 and the impending criminalization of masking.

Air purifiers in Finnish daycare reduced children's illnesses by 18% in a carefully controlled study. This implies huge potential for better public health and cost savings from sick leaves, with a simple intervention against airborne infections. yle.fi/a/74-20089670
