Your agile process is probably ableist.

There’s a simple course correction. Prioritize accessibility issues that impact a given user demographic as if it impacted sighted mouse users in the same way. #a11y

This is what letting RFK jr go wild on health looks like

You know what would be really "tough on crime"? Living wages, fully funded schools, affordable housing, universal healthcare, and a little empathy for those in need.

the people who made us all stand up every single morning and recite “with liberty and justice for all” are somehow fucking shocked when we want liberty and justice for all

@RepMGP Do you regret voting for more of this? You should

There’s a bill in the Senate right now that funds ICE. What are you going to do to ensure every Senate Democrat votes against it?

[Liam Nissan™ @theliamnissan]

Remember folks, ICE agents are the dumbest motherfuckers you went to high school with

There are no penguins in Greenland. All Penguins live in the southern hemisphere except one species from the Galapagos Islands.

Perhaps you shouldn’t have dismantled the Department of Education so quickly.

The United States will go down in history as the nation that imprisoned more of its own people than anywhere else on Earth but could not summon the courage to put one rich white man in prison, even to save itself as a nation or to preserve its position in the world.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.

It’s about oil and regime change.

And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from Epstein + skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Republicans love destabilizing countries and then crying about immigration

[Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly]

When I was 22 years old, I commissioned as an Ensign in the United States Navy and swore an oath to the Constitution. I upheld that oath through flight school, multiple deployments on the USS Midway, 39 combat missions in Operation Desert Storm, test pilot school, four space shuttle flights at NASA, and every day since I retired – which I did after my wife Gabby was shot in the head while serving her constituents.

In combat, I had a missile blow up next to my jet and flew through anti-aircraft fire to drop bombs on enemy targets. At NASA, I launched on a rocket, commanded the space shuttle, and was part of the recovery mission that brought home the bodies of my astronaut classmates who died on Columbia. I did all of this in service to this country that I love and has given me so much.

Secretary Hegseth’s tweet is the first I heard of this. I also saw the President’s posts saying I should be arrested, hanged, and put to death.

If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies who care more about their own power than protecting the Constitution.

@swampflora Please do your due diligence with testing. I’m sorry you’re experiencing this. There are so many different symptoms you can have. For me it was perfuse bloody noses. My Mom migraines. My Dad a horrible sinus infection. It can make you exhausted so you may need help.

[JP de Vries @jpdevries]

@swampflora This is extremely serious. When I was in high school our entire home had to be demolished and reconstructed due to black mold. It was only 5 year old construction. All our belongings were put in storage and had to be tested for spores. We all got sick in different ways.
