Disabled and disability aren't slurs. There is no shame in being disabled or part of the disability community. Trying to avoid using the words disabled or disability puts shame on the words and is actually ableism and eugenics. Knock it off.

You have probably heard a lot recently about diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEI/DEIA). That's why AAPD put together a new resource to explain what DEIA is, why it is essential for disabled Americans, and explaining recent federal actions on DEIA. www.aapd.com/explaining-d...

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

Anybody else find themselves thinking about that Gramsci line: "The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters." I'm feeling it in my bones right now.

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

Put aside the nastiness of this post, & the way in he attacks Zelenskyy as a dictator but says not a word about his pal Putin, & just focus on the way it is written: would you hire this weird person to work for you? Would you trust this odd person to teach your kid in school?

Come ON

NY Gov. Kathy Hochul’s response: “We are a nation of laws, not ruled by a king. The MTA has initiated legal proceedings in the Southern District of New York to preserve this critical program. We’ll see you in court.”

Re my earlier thread Trump’s funding freeze leaves American farmers like me out in the cold

Thank you to everyone who has joined the resistance! Our ranks grow stronger every day.

why did you vote over and over again to reauthorize mass surveillance powers that we know are used to target journalists and are now in the hands of the Trump admin?
