Seems like has been very little coverage of protests happening in the U.S.--not necessarily an intentional media blackout (although possibly), but the result of a longstanding stance in legacy media that protests aren't worth covering, activists aren't credible sources (but somehow CEOs are), etc.

The 'private prisons,' or cages, at the boarder were overseen by private firms, Trump friends. Toddlers were ignored, did not learn to speak. A horrible crime against humanity. Now asylum seekers will be placed in cheaply run, for profit prisons. And they are NEEDED.

The Indigenous People of North America have decided to go back to calling the Gulf of Mexico, “Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl”. It is what the Nahuatl People originally called it as it is the domain of the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue, who is assoc w/water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico.

To be disabled is to have to spend ridiculous amounts of money on things we need to survive when stuck in a system that keeps us in poverty. Being forced into poverty and pushed out of Medicaid will make it so that many of us will die. The system isn’t broken, it’s working as designed.

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

Smaller cities and suburbs could easily enable active transportation with a few simple design changes. It doesn’t take much to empower people to run local errands without a car, but it takes intention to prioritize something other than driving.

and since I’m in a complaining mode: the inaccessibility in this city this winter has been truly abhorrent. I’m so tired of the car-centricity here. the snow plowing blocking sidewalk access. The ice patches. Not everyone here drives and even those who do often don’t daily. clear sidewalks.

If Doge is saving so much money, wouldn't it make more sense to increase Medicaid, a program that increases American productivity? #Disability

Cutting #Medicaid is devastating. If it wasn’t for Medicaid, I never would’ve had the necessary #surgeries, #therapies, & care access as a #disabled child + teen. Medicaid is a literal lifeline worth saving, not stripping down to its bones. Terrifying reality we live in.

I'm getting sick of being refused services by disability support agencies. Many insist that I do all tasks with their workers. My disabilities make this impossible and harmful: I'm mostly bedbound with a limited social battery 😴. Sooo how is this not disability discrimination 🤔? #NDIS 🧵

submitted 59 days ago • 4 comments

don’t ask for feedback on your “SUPER ACCESSIBLE” game if you don’t want to be told by someone who has the disability you claim to be accommodating that your game is virtually unplayable. also monochromacy is a very real colourblindness.

Something that's always hard to explain to anyone who has never been bedbound is how the experience fundamentally rewires your brain. The first time I saw the freeway again I panicked. I used to love crowds. I didn't ask to be scrambled like an egg. But it happened. ♿️

Trump likes being #2, he likes doing the PR work, being in front of the camera, getting the adulation, but serving the boss. Musk will dominate him at home and Putin will dominate him abroad. He will deliver their lines, as he has just done for Putin in shocking fashion, and does for Musk every day.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
