I found out recently about the federal interagency Access Pass, which grants free admission to National Parks and other recreation lands to U.S. citizens and residents with permanent disabilities. I just went through the process online, and it took under 24 hours to have my pass approved. I hope other disabled people can also benefit! The pass also does NOT have Trump’s fucking face on it but instead has a cool bird, so that’s another benefit. https://www.recreation.gov/interagency-pass/types/access #disability #nature #uspol

❗️Civilians leaving Russian-occupied Oleshky who want to return to Ukrainian-controlled territory will reportedly first be transported to occupied Crimea or Russia, the Financial Times reports, citing sources. Zelensky had previously warned that Russia could try to redirect evacuation routes toward its territory and then portray the movement as evidence that civilians wanted to go to Russia. #Ukraine

Incidentally, little known fact: At least one of the Jan6ers (a MAGA tourist), a Brazilian, made sure to get proof of pardon so he could continue to pursue his asylum case that his prosecution would have precluded.

🚨 Iowa Senate candidate Josh Turek calls out Republican Ashley Hinson over asking supporters for gas money for her $400,000 campaign bus amid rising costs due to Trump's Iran war.

“I'm just in a small car just driving around Iowa.”

"Even though she is the one that voted seven times to continue this war in Iran, [she's] just gone out there and said, ‘Can you help us out with some gas money?’”

“That is a Marie Antoinette level of ‘let them eat cake’ disconnect.”

WATCH: “The solution is YOU END THE WAR— J.D. Vance and every Trump official talks about the war is if it happened through forces of nature, and they didn’t consciously make the decision to go to war and raise our gas prices on purpose.” ⛽️
