Two disability-focused state organizations, Disability Rights New Jersey and Disability Rights Arkansas, have paused services due to not receiving federal funds. New from me at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

This is a shocking abuse of power by ICE that has inflicted harm and jeopardized the lives of vulnerable children and a pregnant woman. We are demanding the return of these families.

We are now at the arresting judges who uphold the law part of our decline into fascism. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

This is who the federal government is putting in charge of determining the cause of autism and creating a registry of autistic people. www.nationalreview.com/news/vaccine...

"pro-life" policies lead to increased maternal DEATHS

I don't feel safer.

"Women" were on the forbidden word list. The Women's Health Initiative helped us understand Hormone Replacement Therapy. We had this study because NIH had frequently *left women out* of their studies.

As a person who has studied history, an autism registry is a five alarm fire.

I have decided to take my name off of some of my social media for the time being because of the current state of the world. I will return my name when it feels safe to do so.

"End times fascism is a darkly festive fatalism – a final refuge for those who find it easier to celebrate destruction than imagine living without supremacy" www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

90% have no criminal record....this isn't about criminality. It's about scapegoating. www.latimes.com/world-nation...

For those who thought Omicron was the "off ramp" to reopen schools and go back to work. Kids and cardiac sequelae. Over a million in the study. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Can we acknowledge how inaccessible this is for so many disabled people and seniors? The impact is clearly by design.

This is quite literally a plot point in The Handmaid’s Tale, when the authoritarian government invalidates women’s IDs, denying them access to their bank accounts and property.

It's not about criminality. It's about removing "undesirables" to demonstrate power.

That it appears that no one was hurt today is a miracle given the way that violence is encouraged. I'm so grateful for everyone who was out today standing up for democracy.

people being in the streets means something. never let your cynicism convince you otherwise.

This is not legal. The IRS is not allowed to share taxpayer information (without the taxpayers permission) w/other parties except in a set of limited instances. They'd need a court order to do this.

Everyone (who physically can) is needed in the streets today! There are planned protests all over the country today. Are you going?

Trump acknowledges he is tanking the stock market on PURPOSE. Is there nothing that he can do that would cause people to risk up? www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

“There are more important things than living.” -the new GOP motto #dealthcult #resist newrepublic.com/article/1932...

"Emails show that the Social Security Administration canceled contracts with the state of Maine as political payback against its Democratic governor." www.huffpost.com/entry/janet-...

Honestly floored right now by fellow Jewish people talking about anti-Zionists on the Left as being just as big if not more of a problem than what's happening on the Right. Throwing LGBTQ/disabled/POC/immigrant people under the bus along with our democracy is not who we are.

Want to receive a free disability justice art postcard in the mail? That's my art/cultural resistance project. The current series is "we can heal." Ask for yours here docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

This is what they meant by finding government waste .....

Go @booker.senate.gov ! #resist

Resistance is happening daily across the country.

Tonight I hosted some friends for "joy is resistance" with food and games. Everyone invited is a part of resisting in some way. Culture and community can be resistance.

Rape crisis centers were fought for with the blood, sweat and tears of feminists over decades. Grateful that this story is being reported on the cowardice of GOP in NC to steal this vital funding.

We need more people willing to take a stand. #resist

Another example of why we need to pay attention to culture debraguckenheimer.substack.com/p/the-cultur...

2 years old! Little children are not criminals but here is another effort at dehumanization.....
