EPA is terminating more than two dozen protections against air and water pollution. It would overturn limits on soot from smokestacks that have been linked to respiratory problems in humans and premature deaths as well as restrictions on emissions of mercury, a neurotoxin.

And for the most part it doesn’t have to be this much of a struggle, but systemic ableism exists.

this is why i think it's more important to teach public health than biology as a core secondary education STEM subject. Science fields are often too reductionist and focus on the individual level, without vital life application and big picture thinking.

They love disabled people in “inspirational” stories, until we ask for healthcare, jobs, and rights.

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.

To all the people who stop and think before meeting up with a chronically ill or disabled person, and let them know you/someone in your household isn’t feeling well, so they can cancel if they need to, THANK YOU. We are SO sad to have to cancel, but so grateful to be protected. #disabilitysky

Most insults are ableist. Once we rightfully took away racist terms from the public discourse, ableism became the insult of choice with the occasional sexism for variety. Let's stop substituting one form of bigotry for another and do better by all people.

HHS has ordered CDC to stop its influenza vaccine “Wild to Mild” media campaign. This is an award-winning campaign that effectively explains how influenza vaccine may not prevent infection but does decrease illness severity. We are currently having one of the worst influenza seasons in 15 years.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

An awful lot of people posting about the gutting of DEI are not providing Alt Text on the images in their posts… I know it takes extra time, but it’s important for access and inclusivity - please consider putting in the extra effort !

with DEIA jobs being shut down, so many disabled people will have trouble working the little bit they may be able to. So, if a disabled person asks for money on the internet, give it to them.

I still remember way back before Musk was illegally destroying US foreign aid that time when he claimed he’d give $6B to the UK WFP if they could tell him how it would solve world hunger & then he ignored the response & gave $5.7B to his own charity & no one ever found out where it went from there

Hey fellow 🧪 people, just a reminder that when you share screenshots of the emails and such you're getting, you need to INCLUDE THE FULL TEXT IN THE ALT TEXT. Your disabled colleagues are under attack rn, so it's literally the least you can do.

DYK? The Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) is kinda a big deal. For 65 years, the MMWR provided weekly, real-time data & analysis about disease outbreaks & emerging health threats. The MMWR's continuous stream of data-driven information -the voice of the CDC- was stopped in January 2025.

Trump explicitly blamed ID and psychdis people for the plane collision. DEI includes disabled people and we can see you erasing us. Disabled/trans/disabled AND trans BIPOC people are at the highest risk right now, and they are NOT acceptable losses. They need you to have their backs.

I love that a white guy was flying the plane, a white guy was flying the helicopter, and a white guy gutted the FAA last week but somehow the blame is too much diversity.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

As an alum of the Autistic Self Advocacy Network’s ACI Leadership Program, I am angry w/ ASAN’s attempt to union bust the Autistic Self Advocacy Union. ASAN is trying to prevent 3 members/25% of the union from being involved, one of them a longtime friend. Sign the petition below to say NO to this!

alright you wanna know how to support trans people? hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit. Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.

"your validity is not dictated by an executive order" is probably a reassuring sentiment for people whose needs begin and end at validity, but are unlikely to soothe people who need things like "legal protections" or "access to health care"

Im autistic. Im an academic who studies disability studies/disability history and ableism as an analytical framework. It is not ableist to call Musk a Nazi for throwing not one, but TWO Nazi salutes. Saying its ableist is the cynical exploitation of disabled identity to provide cover for hate.

It's me, a person who does scientific research on and with humans - federally funded research no less! - telling you that if you define sex as about gamete size or chromosomes but collect data on it using baby genitals (aka assigned sex) as your measured variable, definition /= measurement.
