Not only is it fucking ridiculous to expect disabled people to be working more - THERE'S NO FUCKING JOBS. There's no jobs for non-disabled folk let alone disabled people! No-one is going to hire disabled people when 20+ non-disabled people apply for each job!

Musk is an extremely dangerous and deranged megalomaniac. At first, I wasn't planning on watching the new documentary, but changed my mind. I watched over the weekend. Warning sirens should be going off around the world. Governments, starting with the U.S., need to decouple.
Just because I don’t talk about my professional work everyday doesn’t mean it isn’t happening.
Just because I don’t talk about the miracles i perform, doesn’t mean I lack the experience or insight to put you back in your place.
Lots of people on these mean Twitter streets who are accidentally making themselves into the villains for my book. Thanks for all the research, kiddos 😂

I know I wrote a post like this recently, but I feel like I am going to explode if I hear another Republican misuse the word "socialism."
For my Republican friends out there, let me explain what socialism actually means. Socialism is an economic system in which the means of production are socially or publicly owned, including through state ownership.
Universal healthcare is not socialism. Social welfare programs designed to prevent homelessness and poverty are not socialism. Free public education is not socialism. In fact, it is entirely possible to have a highly capitalist economy alongside an extensive social welfare system. Even Milton Friedman, one of the most influential advocates of free-market capitalism, supported a negative income tax to provide a basic income floor for the poor.
So please stop with the BS accusations of socialism every time someone proposes a social welfare program.
Ironically, some of the most conspicuous examples of state intervention in private enterprise in contemporary America come from the Trump administration itself. Its increasingly dirigiste economic policies include acquiring ownership stakes in private companies, asserting government control over corporate decisions, and imposing economically damaging tariffs on American businesses and consumers.
If you are genuinely concerned about government interference in free markets, perhaps you should start there.

Let this sink in: ICE agents reportedly blocked the emergency entrance of a Los Angeles hospital for TWO HOURS, forcing ambulances carrying people who needed emergency care to go elsewhere.
This isn’t law enforcement. This is a reckless abuse of power that put innocent people’s lives at risk.
An ambulance entrance is not a political battleground. A hospital emergency room is not an immigration checkpoint.
And federal agents do not get to hold an entire community’s access to emergency medical care hostage.
Imagine being in an ambulance, fighting for your life, only to be diverted because federal agents decided their operation mattered more than emergency access.
Where is the humanity? Where is the accountability? And where is the line that these agents are no longer allowed to cross?
You cannot claim to be protecting America while putting Americans’ lives in danger.
This isn’t making America great. It’s making America cruel. And anyone defending this should be ashamed.
Perfection is overrated especially in art & storytelling. Not only is it not achievable but any cynic with a hard-on for chaotic evil can find a way to criticize perfection.
“It isn’t perfect but…” is the standard line spoke by people who never risk their own vulnerability.

Pope Leo XIV drew on his own recent experience of illness and hospitalization after surgery for lung cancer on Friday to make an impassioned appeal for universal access to healthcare, greater social equality and a society that does not measure people's worth by their productivity or wealth. cbsn.ws/4AiB37l

FYI - This is why women don’t speak up. Society has lost it’s fucking mind - and it’s the people claiming to protect women and children - the ones who claim morality, who are the worst offenders. With my whole entire chest - FUCK YOU.
Don’t complain that women have turned into no limit beasts fueled by rage, with an insatiable hunger for justice. We’re the villains you created. I hope you hate every fucking second of it.
The real cost of disability - knowing how onerous it is to navigate the health care system so you put off care knowing that the policy will require different approvals and will have multiple denials before I can finally get the MRI that proves my injury. Now I need surgery

This is so beautifully said. What heart-centered leadership is all about 💖💖💖
“Star Trek” star Gates McFadden pays tribute to Patrick Stewart, praising his performance as Jean-Luc Picard for giving people hope around the world:
“We want to believe in our leaders. Society suffers when we do not. If we fear retribution and feel there is no choice but to live in blind obedience to those in power, we lose our way. We lose belief in our institutions. Good leaders are those who urge us to step up and demand justice and truth. They spark our imaginations with their visions of a better future. They educate us. Without a belief in the basic goodness of our leaders, we lose faith in ourselves and our collective future. Our standards and principles take a dive.
A leader is also great when they understand sacrifice and responsibility. This is why, I believe, people tune into ‘Star Trek’ or listen to Shakespeare, music or art of any kind. We are searching for hope and elevation from the daily numbness or despair. A desire to do good in the world works better with both kindness and focus — and it works better when we are surrounded by art and invention that lifts us. Jean-Luc Picard embodied that ideal. Patrick’s death means the loss of Picard, which for some hurts even more than the loss of Patrick Stewart. Jean-Luc gave us hope.”

I found this on Threads and keep watching it because she is so bad ass.
Her name is Layla Clark and this is Thomas Jefferson High in Jefferson Hulls, PA. She is likely now in college (this was last season) so hopefully she is the shining talent on a college team ✨
Imagine putting together an entire halftime show based off of one woman doing a cover of Thunderstruck on xylophone……and having it KICK TOTAL ASS!

What’s playing on our national drama next week as Trump tries, again, to jump the shark.
Tune in for “declare fraud early” on Nov 3rd to be followed closely by “turn allegations into a national crisis” the remainder of the week until we slide into “pressure states” sweeps week.

Ooh I didn’t even know about this older Manitoba pilot - a contemporary of the first Denver one.
Canada already tested basic income. In the 1970s, Dauphin, Manitoba got a guaranteed income. People kept working, more teens finished high school, and hospital visits dropped. We have the evidence. What we need now is the political will.

This story from Fox News is hilarious to me in how it's meant to be scary. They asked around at an
@AbdulElSayed rally and his supporters support basic income. Great! Now go to a Trump rally and ask about $5,000 checks. I also like how it mentions the 250+ pilots showing positive results.
"Conservative policy groups and state Republicans argue unconditional cash programs undermine workforce participation [the evidence proves otherwise] and deepen government dependency [like seniors on Social Security??]. Proponents, meanwhile, point to data from more than 250 cash transfer pilots across 40 states and Washington, D.C., [because empirical evidence] arguing that direct cash transfers can reduce infant poverty and improve health outcomes [and even often increase employment, especially self-employment]."
This is a gem too:
"Rallygoers leaving the overflow venue were asked whether guaranteed income programs are an effective policy and whether El-Sayed should make them a core pillar of his campaign.
'I do, and I think the billionaires should be paying for it,' voter Dave told Fox News Digital."
Based Dave.
