Dear Ma & Pa MAGA,

I have a question for you, one I very much doubt you’ll answer even if you do manage to read this post all the way through. And yes, I understand that facts are about as useful to you as a cousin-less dating pool and a case of woke beer you can’t shoot, but for now at least, they are still facts, regardless of how you feel about them.

So, here goes… what I want to know is this - what has Donald Trump done since he returned to office that has benefitted you or your life in some tangible, measurable way? How has he made your life better?

Did pardoning or releasing the most violent January 6th insurrectionists make you safer in your home? Did shutting down the Office of Gun Violence Prevention make your kids safer at school?
What about the freeze on cancer research? Halting the operations and external communications from federal agencies like the FDA & CDC? Did you get a job you otherwise would not have gotten thanks to the dismantling of DEI?
Did ending protection from discrimination at work make your daughter’s professional path easier? Did stopping the aid we were sending to Ukraine and Taiwan put more food on your plate?
Did raising prices on your prescriptions make it easier for you to manage whatever medical condition you have which requires treatment? Does shutting FEMA down make you worry less because you live in a state recently ravaged by hurricanes or wildfires? Do you sleep better at night knowing that ICE is raiding offices and citrus groves in some blue state nowhere near you?
Because here’s the thing — eggs are now more expensive than they were a few weeks ago and in short supply due the Bird Flu we can’t get any official government health or food safety information about, gas and groceries are more expensive, school shootings are still happening, you’re still not going to get a job you were never qualified for, your daughter can now get fired for being a woman, the hurricanes the government won’t help you with aren’t going to stop coming, the immigrants who picked your citrus fruit aren’t showing up for work, the crime rate which was already lowering hasn’t decreased in the least and isn’t going to, and the bridge repair project your town has been counting on, is indefinitely on hold.
“Re-taking” the Panama Canal isn’t going to change any of those facts, neither is “annexing” Canada or “taking” Greenland.
Your taxes aren’t going down, prices are going up, your towns are no safer, you aren’t suddenly more qualified at your job, your daughter can be discriminated against, you don’t know and won’t know if there’s a public health emergency or if your food is safe, your roads aren’t getting repaired, your produce isn’t getting picked, and your government won’t be coming to help you in the middle of a natural disaster.
So, what have you gained? What will you get? Nothing he has done has improved your life. None of it is designed to. Is this what you voted for?
Is it enough that he hates the people you hate? Is that all you think you need?
Because from where I’m sitting, given the fact that he’s actually made your lives a heck of a lot harder, it sure as shit does look that way.

The year was 2010.
We had a new admission that day at the long term care facility.
Admissions were always exciting but also stressful for staff.
Are they coming willingly ? Is the family making this decision? Have they exhausted all other avenues ? Will they adapt quickly ?

Do you know a wheelchair user who works in a lab who'd be willing to user-test our prototype of what is believed to be the first-ever lab coat adapted for wheelchair users?

Please share far & wide! Interest form: https://t.co/ixrzMB8Z57

So the WHO is saying COVID isn't over, public health orgs are telling you to mask up. What more do you need to take this seriously again? The people you are trying to fit in with when you don't mask are the people who will abandon you when you become chronically ill.

[Derek Franks @Derek_a_Franks]

Remember Fauci said we could stop worrying about C0VlD when the U.S. reaches less than 10,000 daily infections. Right now, during a lull mind you, the U.S. is averaging over 200,000 daily infections, and by New Years it could be 1.4 million daily infections.

[Derek Franks @Derek_a_Franks]

The WHO says we’re still in a pandemīc, still urges maskīng in their official guidance, and says you can’t afford to pretend like it’s over.

To all these UK people who are puzzled about why there's sooo much pneumonia going around in your country, lemme tell you a short story about TB (tuberculosis) in South Africa to help you understand what's going on.

Every single #Conservative just voted in House against abortion rights.

Tell your Conservative MP you’re disgusted that they want to take away a woman’s right to choose.

We can’t repeat catastrophic increase in deaths of women in US due to denial of reproductive health rights.

The H5N1 outbreaks in the U.S. are no longer isolated incidents 🧵

Human cases in California and Missouri appear to share the same clade, B3.13.

This link raises the possibility of a novel transmission pathway.

As we get closer to international day for persons with disabilities, i encourage you to watch the #outofmymind movie. This movie should be watched by so many people, in education, in medicine, everywhere. The barriers are often not the physical, but the social. #accessmatters

[Han 🖤 CHECK PINNED! @spoonfulofhan]

Hey, I don’t know who needs to hear this, but here you go:

Proper accessibility for the chronically ill and disabled is a literal human right. It is not a privilege.
