It’s been two years since one of our founding Board members, #JudyHeumann, left us. To honor her legacy, you can help save the disability rights law that she helped get passed. Our partner, DREDF, created a resource to stop the attack on #Section504. lnk.to/tvbart [Image: CommunicationFIRST...

These emails always make me smile. #goodbyemeta

looking back everything went to shit when Schoolhouse Rock stopped airing

"the rich have always been kleptomaniacs." - Margaret Atwood #booksky #margaretatwood #atwood #theblindassassin

Just a reminder: Your representative works for YOU. Every member of the House is back home this week for recess. Republicans must feel the heat for their complicity in the Trump-Musk coup. Democrats must know we’ve got their backs when they fight back. Let's get to work: indivisible.org/musk...

They don't want to teach history so they can repeat it.

Please help flood relief efforts here in Kentucky if you can. Free legal assistance for those who are navigating the FEMA aid process is available — see link in comments below. (I took the first two photos in my neighborhood today.) #kentuckyriver #kentuckyriverflood #winterstormkingston

Me too!!!

Oh well, jet fuel is bad for the environment anyway. #arewegreatagainyet

Knowledge is power…

They were discussing Mary Poppins on @alltherightmovies.com and they mentioned that ‘A Spoonful of Sugar’ was inspired by one of the composer’s sons getting the polio vaccine in a sugar cube. A bright, cheery, classic song that sprang from the eradication of a horrific disease.

National Nuclear Security Administration officials are attempting to notify some employees who had been let go that they are now due to be reinstated — but they're struggling to find them because they don't have their new contact information. nbcnews.to/4104StF

being disabled in 2025 is a revolutionary act.

The beliefs and policies that disabled people are a burden and are better off dead than disabled are not an abstract devaluation of disabled people. They are discrimination. They are eugenics. They are genocide.

The 50501 Movement has planned protests at all 50 state capitols and the U.S. Capitol on Presidents’ Day at noon. While mainstream media isn’t covering it, many YouTubers have stepped up to provide coverage.

As you know,I'm a senior,80. I live in a HUD facility for seniors & seniors w disabilities who live below the poverty level. There are 75 apts in this blding. Every one of them is filled w ppl who are scared to death they're going to lose their housing & their Soc Sec. It didn't hav to be this way.🇺🇸

The devaluation of disabled lives is the real loss of dignity for disabled people.

Even worse incompetence: they accidentally fired, then apparently today un-fired, hundreds of the people who manage America's nuclear weapons.

Gov. @andybeshearky.bsky.social joined a nationwide lawsuit to protect Kentuckians from Trump’s devastating federal funding freeze that threatens the well-being of families across our Commonwealth. We’re going to fight back no matter what it takes.

Trying to get clarity on DOGE. Today, Press Sec. Karoline Leavitt said information about what DOGE is doing is on the DOGE website. But it is not. A White House spokesperson has clarified to me that she was talking about the X DOGE account, not the actual DOGE website.

And it took 215 years for the ADA to pass. Why are disability rights always left out? #disability #disabilityrights #ada

EVERY SINGLE CITY, IN EVERY SINGLE COUNTRY, NEEDS TO DO THIS WHEN WE TAKE AWAY THEIR WEALTH WE ALSO TAKE AWAY THEIR POWER #PeoplePower #StrengthInNumbers #BoycottBezos #BoycottMusk #BoycottZuckerberg

I was at a local fundraising event last night and an acquaintance came up to me and said it's good to see you "out." I'm used to older folks saying crap like that to me. In their day we didn't get out much cause we couldn't. This guy was around 40. WTH? I don't think it's ever going to get better.
