RFK Jr. says there are no autistic poets, so we interviewed one. Hear from Elizabeth McClellan, @popelizbet.bsky.social, an award-winning poet, attorney, and legal educator based in Memphis, Tennessee.

I wonder how outraged they’d be if they shoved these mushrooms in their ears and tried to watch an uncaptioned official government livestream

Do you know how bad you have to fuck up to get all of these orgs to sign something together publicly. Fucking hell.

This is how eugenists talk. RFK Jr continues to have eugenist attitudes in his language. 🚨 It didn’t start with Germany, Nazis, or the Holocaust either. Eugenics is a SIGNIFICANT and well-documented part of United States history, and it actually inspired people like Hitler. Thread 🧵👇🏻

Yesterday, Indiana Governor Mike Braun released 9 EOs under "Make Indiana Healthy Again" with RFK Jr & Mehmet Oz in attendance. The event had no captioning or ASL, the EO PDFs don't work with screen readers, so let's read through one. 🧵 1/27

Calling Congress isn't always easy, people like @novicsara.bsky.social, who is deaf, who use relay services get hung up on. For @motherjones.com, I looked into limits with urges to call Congress, and one cool solution: @autisticadvocacy.org's proxy calling system. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I know it’s not a big deal to everyone but I need more people to see and know that this MAJOR event regarding health, with state and federal representation, was not captioned and did not have ASL interpretation. #Accessibility #A11y #Indiana #HoosierSky #Hoosier #MikeBraun #RFKJr #DrOz
