never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.

A disturbing and hypocritical ruling on so many levels. Especially the due process holding.

The court JUST said there’s no deeply rooted right for women to control their own bodies. But there is a deeply rooted right for parents to know if their kids question their gender at school? Come on.

Warner: "There was no imminent threat to the United States by the Iranians. There was a threat to Israel. If we equate a threat to Israel as the equivalent of an imminent threat to the US, then we are in uncharted territory."

How many Americans have to get Allahu Akbar’ed before we realize Islam is a problem?

Congressman Brandon Gill @RepBrandonGill How many Americans have to get Allahu Akbar’ed before we realize Islam is a problem?

The way sitting politicians can say this stuff about Muslims while facing zero consequences is an indication of just how entrenched Islamophobia still is in our institutions and culture.

ICE Took Wael Tarabishi's Full Time Caregiver Away... and it Killed Him Wael Tarabishi was a 30 year old disabled man who's father Maher was his full time caregiver. ICE took Maher in October, leaving Wael without support. He died three months later.

On this Disability Day of Mourning, let’s honor Wael Tarabishi, a disabled man who died when ICE took his caregiver away.

Wael told them he would die without his father who was his β€œarms, legs & lungs”.

ICE took him anyways.

Wael died 3 months later:

Very important local decisions are made during Town Meeting Days, including on education and transportation, which directly impact disabled people. Larose told me that her town wants to essentially criminalize homelessness–which she can’t vote against.

New England cherishes its local electionsβ€”but many disabled voters are locked out β€œIt's a really heartbreaking example of who gets left behind in systems that are not built for everyone.”

For a few hundred years, towns across New England have conducted Town Meeting Days via floor votes, which can be inaccessible to disabled people. This situation shows how accessibility and tradition can go head-to-head. My latest for @motherjones.com.

I feel like we've seen this thing where Israel says, leave here for your own safety. Turned out, when they did that to Gazans, they just bombed where they told the Gazans to go. Rinse, repeat times 100.

Elite Doctors Served Jeffrey Epstein While Treating His β€˜Girls’

Appalling. One doctor β€œsent Mr. Epstein’s sexual partners elsewhere for gonorrhea treatment so that when their cases were reported to public health authorities, they wouldn’t be tied to Mr. Epstein. Some doctors also shared patients’ private health information with him”

Elite Doctors Served Jeffrey Epstein While Treating His β€˜Girls’

One woman hit her head on Epstein's island, and instead of taking her to an ER, Epstein had a doctor come to his home and give her 35 stitches on his dining-room table.

Multiple doctors disclosed women's private medical info to Epstein.

Epstein controlled what medical care they could receive.
