Florida bans the Diary of Anne Frank. A literary classic that serves as a cautionary tale about the rise of fascism and the importance of documenting atrocities as they’re occurring. We all must document this time in history. Keep copies. Write everything down. Make sure that the truth will out.

RFK Jr now claiming, without evidence, that Tylenol during pregnancy causes autism. He has no qualifications to make these claims. He’s a menace who’s persecuting autistics while undermining public health and putting millions of lives at risk. He must resign.

Chronic illness is unfair & unrelenting. I’m facing a threat to my housing which has wrecked my baseline. I haven’t written in weeks. I don’t have a working washing machine so I’m covered in hives. Today multiple things broke on me. Then I broke. Sorry for the lack of writing. My brain is done.

This woman has been in America for over 5 decades. She came to the US as a toddler after being adopted by a US Air Force officer. The regime wants to deport her to Iran. A country they’re intent on destroying. They want to send her to her death.

There should be a rule that anyone who dodged the draft can’t be allowed to institute a draft. It’s utterly appalling that Trump is considering drafting your children to go off to war when he’s done nothing but avoid fighting himself and disparage the troops.

This International Women’s Day remember there’s a President who calls female journalists “piggy” and “ugly”. Who said “grab ‘em by the p*ssy”. Who’s been accused of child rape and found liable for sexual assault. Who just blew up 168 little girls in Iran. We have a long way to go.

Anyone can become disabled at any time. Your life can change in an instant, no matter how strong and healthy you think you are. People will leave you. Funds will dry up. Life will get tougher. It’s not a moral failing. It’s a minority group you can join anytime.

Disabled people tried to warn you. We said the “better off dead” narrative being weaponized against us would be used for other groups of people. The fascists won’t ever stop. They see everyone else as less than. Expendable. Not worthy of life. Its eugenics on a massive scale

Trump dodged the draft. He’s disparaged men and women in the armed forces. He casually says “people will die”. He refused to remove his baseball hat at a ceremony honouring six members of the military who lost their lives in Iran. He doesn’t care about anyone but himself.

“Not all men” they say. But it’s the men who are sworn to protect us. It’s the men at the highest levels of government. It’s the men who are police. It’s the men in your home. A woman is killed every 10 min by someone she knows. 1 in 3 experience sexual assault. It’s an epidemic.
