"Anti-White and anti-Black #discrimination are not like matter and antimatter; they don’t just cancel each other out. An #America where every job has racial preferences, and you have to look around for the jobs that favor your race instead of relying on individual merit and trusting the system, would clearly be a dystopia." https://open.substack.com/pub/noahpinion/p/america-has-to-feel-fair?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=post%20viewer

#Trump admin says #SignLanguage services 'intrude' on Trump's ability to control his #image
The Trump admin is arguing that requiring real-time #ASL interpretation of events like White House press briefings “would severely intrude on the President’s prerogative to control the image he presents to the public,” part of a lawsuit seeking to require the White House to provide the services.

Last week Trump called Tim Walz the ‘R slur’.
He then doubled down on it, and now his base have begun harassing the entire Walz family.
Memes are circulating on socials encouraging people to drive past their house and yell it at them.
I’ve been personally called that word more than 1,000 times in the last seven days.
We can’t allow this to happen. The disability community has fought far too hard for far too long to remove that word from the public vernacular.
This is ableism at it’s most ugly, and ableism feeds eugenics and eugenics feeds fascism.
Help us fight back. We are not expendable.
