Those have been my exact thoughts I would also recommend watching the limited tv series, Hitler: Rise of Evil because it shows that everything he did is exactly what Trump and Musk are doing now to the US.

At the time I received my cochlear implant, they were only FDA approved for children age two years and above. I was the youngest child in the US to receive my implant at the time. Thank you @nyulangonepccsm.bsky.social and Dr. Noel Cohen! 3/3

Nearly 30 years ago, when my mom was at the CI’s surgeon’s office and holding me in her arms at 14 months old, she asked the surgeon when he could implant me. He said to her, “How about next month?” My mom nearly fit out of the chair from excitement. 2/3

However, writing "accessibility/disability service office" is a bit of a mouthful each time. What are other terms or words I could use to refer to this? I am reluctant to use "disability resource center" bc many universities are moving away from having disability and instead using accessibility. 2/2

I am terrified over the implications of the Texas v. Becerra and what it would mean for disabled ppl like myself. If Section 504 is revoked, I could lose all of my rights overnight. #disabilityrights 2/2

USAID is only the beginning, and if they succeed in shutting USAID down other agencies will be next. 3/3 #USAID #disability

USAID has played a critical role in not only saving lives but also in preventing terrorism. My family and I are encouraging everyone to please watch and share this video and to call their senators and representatives to tell the Trump admin to stop their destructive agenda. 2/3

Disabled students should be the ones to decide what discrimination is not the school. #disability #disabledinhighered 3/3

When I was in my master’s program, the school frequently claimed that they are not discriminating against me by only providing remote CART. However, the remote CART was insufficient. In addition, the university frequently claimed my need for in-person CART was a preference. 2/3
