Canada, Australia, and Aotearoa have all seen their right-wing parties collapse in popularity since Trump took over.
We were headed for a hard-right turn, but this shift is absolutely unprecedented in modern times. The stark reality of a right wing nationalist future really got people to pay attention.
Unfortunately, it's at the cost of the millions of us in the US who will now suffer

QUICK PSA FOR THE DISABLED COMMUNITY
If you take any daily medication, do not eat grapefruit or activated charcoal unless you know for a fact they won’t affect your medication.
Both Grapefruit and Activated Charcoal will cancel out medication.
‘Where would you ever eat activated charcoal?’ You may be asking
Well
Halloween eve is here y’all and if you want a black cocktail or cupcake, it was probably made black with activated charcoal! So please double check before consuming!!

Anti-vaxxer extremist RFK Jr, the US Health Secretary, is now actively trying to collect medical records of folks on the autism spectrum. First, he used dehumanizing and infantilizating language to insist people with autism won't 'pay taxes and live a 'normal life' which we all know is ableist bullshit and is literally a precursor to genocide. This man is a monster.

It's *not* a "pause" ...
Stop saying it's a "pause" — it's still 10% tariffs against the 🐧 and everyone else!
Your "de minimus" shipments (under $800) that used to be exempt, are now still going to be intercepted and you'll still have to pay Trump tariffs.
It's an escalation of Trump's tariff war against China now: >100% *_!?_*
Here isn't any fucking "pause" here, 90-day or otherwise! Are you Americans all that stupid and innumerate!??? #Trumpism

april is sexual assault awareness month, and i just wanted to hold space for all of the disabled people who have been taken advantage of and abused in that way. disabled people are statistically way more likely to be abused and that includes sexual abuse as well. along with being more likely to be sexually abused we are also more likely to not have the crimes against us reported. I think a lot of people forget about disabled people in conversations about sexual abuse and assault and especially the nuances of being disabled and being taken advantage of in that way and especially how it changes your perception of your body and your disability. I am a victim of sexual abuse and some of which was perpetrated because of my disability, and i don't see really anyone talking about how common it is, and just how fucked up it is. to others who have been in similar situations, you aren't alone, and there is no excuse for anyone to take advantage of anyone in that way.

I fucking hate that the general response to RFK Jr's eugenist take on autistic people is "autistic people do pay taxes, autistic people do work, autistic people do date!"
Some autistic people don't and that shouldn't make them less worthy of life. Some autistic people do need constant help and support and that shouldn't make them less worthy of life.
Once again we're falling in the right wing trap of :
They make a hateful, fascist statement
Instead of focusing on the fact that it is hateful and fascist we try to show them that they are factually wrong
We throw our own allies and the most vulnerable of us under the bus in the process
We legitimise an only slightly less hateful, fascist view as we go
They have completed their goal of making us accept the still hateful, fascist second version, hurrah. What a victory.
Right now what we're getting to with that is that autistic people who can work and pay taxes are okay, and the others aren't. Fuck this shit.
Same thing happens with the people who are being deported ("they have a visa!", "they didn't even have a criminal record!" -> even if they didn't have a visa, even if they did have a criminal record, deporting them and detaining them in what's essentially a concentration camp wouldn't be okay, you absolute tools of fascism.)

An annual U.S. State Department report detailing human rights around the world will remove all sections covering the rights of women, LGBTQ+ people, and the disabled as well as sections dedicated to discrimination against indigenous people and corruption in government, Politico reports. The censored report has likely been drafted in response to the president’s executive orders banning all diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts in the federal government.
