When the Hillary's emails shit started, I immediately understood that the only reason it was a thing at all was the GOP would do anything to keep her from being elected President, so I ignored it. Pretty much the same with the Biden age shit.

People who want to make the web accessible need to understand the many different ways that people with disabilities use the web. This W3C resource offers a good introduction to how disabled people navigate the web, and barriers they commonly encounter.

Keeping Trump out of the White House isn’t the only thing that needs doing and it isn’t enough to solve all problems facing the country & world but if it isn’t done then all those problems get exponentially worse in ways I don’t even know how to express and it scares me when people pretend otherwise

i was just going to make a post about this. if trump decides you are an enemy of the state or a “threat to national security” and has you deported, citizenship or not, there’s nothing you can do to get home. he has full legal power to render you stateless.

I think every politician who supports Trump's rants/plans/policies on immigration needs to be asked on camera: Do you like to eat food? Do your constituents like to eat food?
