Hey I appreciate anyone willing please signal boosting this! Thank you!!! I'm doing a survey for trans/gnc people about friendship, research for a potential piece. It's anonymous, though you can share your contact info at the end if you like (and I may reach out to some). forms.gle/pXm3GnT9SDP3...

Labour claim trans people should be treated with dignity and respect. In their response to a petition about the basic human right to self declaration of identity, laden with anti trans language revealing their true attitude. Trans people are denied human rights in the UK.

Somehow it always seems to come down to "blame people for being neurodivergent", rather than "fund a system which provides decent diagnosis and support". Btw, a lot of that money goes into helping neurodivergent individuals function in this world, and therefore able to work. Without it more can't.

Another thing the vast majority of people who haven’t had to claim it are unaware of.

look it hasn’t worked the last 15 times but maybe this time a round of cuts to essential public services will lead to economic growth and prosperity

In Gaza, entire families are being erased overnight. But around the world, millions are rising to say: Not in our name. Our voices can help stop the flow of Western weapons fueling this massacre. Hope is action: demand an immediate halt to arms deliveries to Israel. secure.avaaz.org/StopArmingIs...

This thread on PIP is essential reading for those of us lucky enough never to have had to claim it, yet.

White supremacists hiding the achievements of non-white people is a pretty good indication that they know white people aren’t supreme.

Gonna keep flagging this, as a disabled/chronically ill person looking to live with my partner for the first time ever at thirty-fkin-five. I have no choice but to accept losing my income. All of it immediately & indefinitely, but around half of it permanently. And they’re coming for the other half.

Watching my country gear up to mass kill lots of disabled people is just numbing at this point. They are doing it on purpose - I am sick of the faux hand wringing of "How do they think it will help". They do not, they want you working or dead.

A reminder to my disabled friends. Your value is not based on your productivity. Your bodies & minds are valid, beautiful & important just as they are. You are worthy of love, deserve comfort, joy and safety. We will fight ableist narratives about our lives. You're not alone #DisabilityJustice

In my work, I meet people across all political beliefs. I’ve never met anyone who—when faced with the brutal reality of our benefits system—wasn’t horrified. There is no system handing out free money. What exists is a system that degrades, impoverishes and punishes those in need.

At the heart of every attack on disability benefits is the myth disabled people “get perks”: a free car, loads of cash, a life off work. It misrepresents the reality of disability, whilst exploiting low wages and high living costs to make the public envy people in daily pain.

Labour really are a disgusting party. Skimming over the fact that PIP is not an out of work benefit, they want to make the already excruciating process of claiming it even harder. And if you're under 22, disabled, and unable to work? Just die, I guess. Grim.

And furthermore! While the ill and disabled are kept terrified, stressed & preoccupied fighting for the bare minimum, not only can they not fight for better for themselves, they can’t do it for others. Having to do this at the same time as what’s happening in Gaza? It feels DISGUSTING.

People need to get this into their heads. I have been on top-rate ESA for 16 years. Its rate was frozen for much of that under the Tories (+ LibDems). My yearly income has been between £2.4 and £7.6K, mostly hovering around £6-6.5K. You. Can’t. Fkin. Live. On. This. You can’t EXIST on it.

‘Today’s statement will be worrying for sick and disabled people who already need support, but they need to understand that more sick and disabled people are going to need support, and so you all need to be punished’ this cannot be serious journalism

The UK's richest man, one person, is worth THREE TIMES what the UK Labour government is willing to kill thousands of disabled people to get.

Love to EVERY disabled person right now. You are valid. You matter. Please keep some hope that we can fight this. I’m definitely not shutting up any time soon. Take some time to yourself and do something that brings you love & joy. You deserve to be here.

Reporting this as ‘eye-catching’ in the quoted news article there???

And you don’t have to worry about or provide for the dead.
