I just found out that someone I was close to who had the same disease as I do, just passed away today. One thing that isn’t talked about enough is how often the disability community grieves from those who pass away too soon due to our diagnosis. It’s a kind of grief that most don’t understand.

Not a lot of time left. If they wait any longer to stop the Orange Reich, the people in place who could stop him will be gone and then we will find out Guantanamo was never for immigrants. It's for political enemies. They will come for Democratic politicians. Watch.

I went to my Congressman's local office today. First off, they were surprised that I was there. They said they had been getting phone calls, but I was the first walk-in. That said, the phones were not ringing off the hook. If the DC phone lines are busy, try calling the local office.

If possible scope out all your local farmers markets, local meat growers, locally grown anything honestly. They're winding up to start seeds now so if they offer CSAs now is the time to sign up if you can afford it. Local meat growers same.

Every disabled friend I have who’s on benefits is suicidal before an assessment, reassessment or cuts announcement. When we say “I hope it goes OK for you” to each other, we mean “I hope they don’t make you k * I I yourself.” Imagine when assisted suicide is legal. #AssistUsToLive

If you’re on Social Security the new administration views you as a liability: someone using resources but not “productive.” Dead weight. You should be vigilant about everything including cutbacks to Medicare since they have no interest in the health of anyone who isn’t pulling their weight. ☠️

This Black History Month, I'm thinking of how Black Panther Party members were crucial partners in helping disabled people with their 504 sit-ins in federal buildings, which led to Section 504 of Rehabilitation Act finally become law. disabilityhistory.org/2021/12/19/t...

#disability why is there almost nothing on Bluesky about Elon gaining control of Social Security servers? Disabled people are under attack and the lack of reaction from non disabled people, head pats and gaslighting is not making any of feel safer.

Not even two weeks in, and the policy of going after disabled people is moving forward apace. "Accessibility" is now included in the dreaded, undefined "DEI" category. Watch for "DEIA" coming soon to a real-life situation near you.

This targeting of disabled people is purposeful and part of Project 2025. The white christian nationalist ideology on disability is rooted in prosperity gospel. It says if god wants you healed you will be and if you aren't it is a moral failing and your fault. The orange reich hates disabled

Hey my disabled friends out there watch out for yourselves. Be extra cautious. When the Orange Reich targets groups with bigoted rhetoric, first is gaslighting from the same people who then attack people in the streets. Asian people went through this in the early Covid days. Now disabled people.

Congress MUST act immediately to keep Elon Musk’s dirty mitts OFF of our federal government’s nationwide central payments system! He has no right to touch any of it, but could cause MAJOR havoc if he could control it.

If you don't think Social Security & Medicare are next, you're not paying attention. If you voted for this, you deserve all that's coming. I've spent my entire life a bleeding heart for others less fortunate, but I have no drops left for you. I feel nothing... except for your children. Damn you all.

If you live with a disability and you feel a level of antagonism from other people, your feeling is probably accurate. My theory is that it’s a “why do they get stuff I don’t get?” thing. Regressive politicians are leading this childish anger. I don’t see any solution.

He also very directly and specifically blamed disabled people. And I am absolutely begging y’all to call it out and not leave us out of your activism. He literally named us. Why aren’t we on your list of at-risk groups?

Disabled people are consistently asked to do things to "prove" that we "deserve" support. And the things we are asked to do are always the very things that we need support with. Like, if I could do those things, I wouldn't need support in the first place.

Just a reminder that if you tell a disabled person to move out of the US if they’re scared of living here, other countries don’t want us either. Countries will turn you away because you’re disabled. We’re seen as a burden and that’s so normalized that it’s okay to turn us away.

So if I’m understanding today correctly, the world’s richest person Elon Musk, whom no one elected, is taking over federal payment systems and employee data while the federal employees who investigate and prosecute public corruption are being fired en masse.
