Hey, human rights activists, looking for something to rage about?
Because Betsy devos is trying to kill the Special Olympics!
She’s also proposing taking:
- 51 million dollars from programs to help autistic people
- 7.5 million from the institute of the blind
- 5 million from resources to get books for blind children
Betsy devos is a cartoonishly awful monster of a person and it’s clear that she is out to get the disabled community. Don’t leave us out of your activism. Don’t leave us to fight this on our own.
And for the love of god vote Democrat in 2020

HEY THERE, Y'ALL!
As we move into 2019 and presidential hopefuls start their campaigns, remember:
- DO NOT FORM POLITICAL OPINIONS BASED ON INFOGRAPHICS. Read source material. If a journalist is legitimate, they will not pass off their statements as fact without proof.
- DO NOT TAKE SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS AS TRUTH. Not even when they are made by someone you trust.
- DO NOT TRUST ANY SOURCE UNLESS IT IS CORRABORATED BY MULTIPLE OTHER CREDIBLE SOURCES.
There are already bots posting propaganda, actively targeting leftists, encouraging us not to vote in various ways.
Do not let them win.
This political system is heinously broken, but consider what evil still has to gain from silencing you before you allow yourself to be silenced.
And check the context on EVERY soundbite you hear. If you’re told, “Someone said X!” see if what they said takes on a different meaning if you hear what they said before and after it. Especially if it’s less than a full sentence. o.O

doctorpsycho1960:
I read the Uniform Code of Military Justice when I was in the Navy. It not only allows service members to refuse an unlawful order – it requires us to.
Obeying an unlawful order is a crime under UCMJ, and no, “I was only following orders” is no defense. We already settled that, at Nuremburg….

TIME MAGAZINE SNAPPED
Time doesn’t get to be indignant.
…It literally says “President of the Divided States of America” right there on the cover, its not a flattering piece. Maybe if you actually did a little research you’d see that Person of the Year is not about virtue or
positivity, its always been about influence and impact and there is no denying that Trump defined 2016 even if it was in the worst possible way.
The framing of the cover is deliberately arranged so the M appears like devil horns on his head, and the posing is deliberately set to mirror the Time cover from 1941 depicting Hitler. Time also published numerous articles in 2016 heavily criticizing him; the August 22 cover of last year featured Trump’s melting face with the headline MELTDOWN (because he was having another one; I can’t tell you which one at this point, there’s been so many, but I’m sure it’s on Twitter).
Time absolutely gets to be indignant.

No matter what happens:
Key West elected Teri Johnston, Florida’s first openly lesbian mayor
New York elected Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the youngest woman ever elected to Congress
Colorado elected Jared Polis, the first openly gay governor in the US
Minnesota elected Ilhan Omar, the first Muslim woman (alongside Rashida Tlaib) and the first Somali-American woman elected to Congress
Massachusetts elected Ayanna Pressley, the first black woman elected to Congress in Massachusetts
Kansas elected Sharice Davids, an openly gay ex-MMA fighter and one of the first Native American women (alongside Deb Haaland) elected to Congress
Michigan elected Rashida Tlaib, the first Palestinian-American (and first Muslim woman, alongside Ilhan Omar) elected to Congress
Kentucky elected Nima Kulkarni, the first Indian-American elected to Kentucky House of Representatives
New Mexico elected Deb Haaland, one of the first Native American women (alongside Sharice Davids) elected to Congress
New Hampshire elected Chris Pappas, the first openly gay member of Congress from New Hampshire
Florida elected Anna Eskamani, the first Iranian-American state lawmaker in Florida

Representation matters. Diversity matters. This is progress.

alarrylarrie:
Reasons why tonight was actually good:
1. WE TOOK BACK THE MOTHERFUCKING HOUSE. Look, in a perfect world we would have flipped the Senate too BUT this means that things are not just going to materialize for our dear friend Donald McTrump. This means oversight and investigations and a better grip from our legislative branch on a system wide check and balance. BOOM.
2. The fact that we got so close in states that Republicans have been gerrymandering the fuck out of for YEARS now is actually really impressive and it just means that we have to keep working but we’re whittling away at things. It can be done, is what I’m saying.
3. SO. MUCH. DIVERSITY. Women in record numbers! People of different faiths, younger people, native people, LGBT people, gang’s all here! We’re slowly dissolving the old white dudes in power thing.
4. So many AMAZING proposals are passing. Massachusetts upheld trans rights. Florida restored voting rights. Michigan legalized marijuana AND took the most comprehensive voting reform IN THE FUCKENING COUNTRY AND MADE IT LAW!
Good things are happening. They are. They. Are.
We just have to keep going.

for a quick change of pace–i know we’ve all seen a thousand posts about voting, but what i haven’t seen (not yet) is one saying thank you.
thank you for those who made it out in the rain and the cold, who organized and canvassed and took on the onerous task of working with non-voting & conservative friends/family to change their stance if at least just this once. thank you for those who stood in line for hours, who had to travel because your voting place was moved, who had to jump through ridiculous fucking hoops to register, who weren’t inspired but showed up anyway for the disenfranchised and the greater good. thank you as well to everyone who voted early, absentee, and provisional.
it mattered.
