Incredible what a politician can accomplish when they actually want to

Politics in America is all branding because most of yall ignore the bill that would allow disabled people to get married because you don’t give a shit about disabled people’s relationships but have no idea that bill would actually just expand the social safety net for everyone.

so he died from being blind. shit, didn't know it was terminal! wonder when my turn is. but people say they aren't talking about people like you. They sure as fuck are!

[Lucy Webster @Lucy_Webster_]

I think you have a different view of the assisted dying debate if you have ever quietly wondered if the system will one day leave you without support to get out of bed, or if the person caring for you will become abusive

And a lot of the people with opinions have not

If a Honda Pilot going less than 1 mph causes you to “fear for your life”, you probably shouldn’t be given a gun.

Happy Christmas to you all, my friends, followers, and fellow pedants.

May your pauses be short, your lists be clear, and no one wonder whether you’re eating Grandma.

What life is like for Americans:

77% can’t afford a median-priced home

70% live paycheck to paycheck

140 million are poor or low-income

100 million have medical debt

We’re living through the horrors of capitalism while Republicans AND Democrats in Congress condemn socialism.

Hill I’ll defend like a mad dog:

Listening to books is reading them.

Here are a few reasons:
- Some people are auditory learners (me).
- Some have eye conditions (me).
- Some people don’t have time to dedicate to visual reading, but have hands free for listening.
- Some people must save their eye strength for other activities (me).

The bar is in hell, but this is a win for decency and compassion.

[Vivian @suchnerve]

autism diagnostic criteria will make more sense once you realize they do not differentiate between missing social cues, and choosing to ignore social cues because you think they’re silly/immature/manipulative/otherwise just not worth your playing along

I'm down with that

My hot take is that every Senator who voted against healthcare should lose their cushy government healthcare.

Schumer should lose his healthcare.

Let these folks experience the terror they’re inflicting on their constituents to remind them what they’re fighting for.

Remember when Zionists kept saying “Hamas can end all this at any time by releasing the hostages”?

Now all the hostages have been released and Israel is using new bombs to wipe out the remainder of Gaza’s starving population
