When a disabled person asks for an accommodation, the response shouldn't be: You'll need to - Meet with us for multiple unnecessary discussions. - Run an advocacy campaign. - Join a committee. - Promote it for us and ensure it's popular. Quit putting unpaid labour on us. Just do the thing.

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

Baldwin: "Last night, the president said 'I'm not touching Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, VA, I'm not touching them.' By this morning, he endorsed the House budget resolution which paves the way for massive cuts to Medicaid."
