Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

I will personally ruin the reputations of any disabled organizer/activist/etc who decides in this crucial moment when our rights are on the line that its okay to throw trans people under the bus. It wont save us, it can only hurt us. They are coming for all of us & it's time to unite together now.

Trump’s attacks on DEI are anti-Blackness on steroids. But we're not backing down in our pursuit of racial justice. Proud to re-introduce #HR40, historic legislation to confront our country’s history of systemic racism and make the case for #reparations. www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/...

I have been shouting from the rooftops about this 504 case sine October 2024. I am steadfast in support of the Trans community and believe that there is legal precedent for the HHS rule change.

Trump's newest executive order forcing trans women back into male is violence. Disabling violence. Transphobia is disabling, like every form of oppression. Fight together to defeat fascism, or we die together.

I'm in meetings for the first part of the afternoon getting actionable intel. After which, I'll pivot to putting together Medicaid and SNAP advocacy materials.

Disability Justice cannot exist without trans, non-binary, or queer people 👏🏻

Do not. I REPEAT. DO NOT normalize the far right. Not with memes, not with defending or conceding to any of their actions. Nothing. The only thing the far right should be met with is immediate disgust. Make fascism uncool, weird, gross, cringy, unattractive, strange, etc.

“They’re utilizing LGBTQ issues as a wedge. The [504] attack is really about the regulatory process of the federal government, and this will impact almost every interaction that a disabled person has with the services and supports that they receive.” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

For those wondering, how #disability is affected in all these federal actions on DEIA. (hint: the #DisCO and their families are very much a target)

Just because Elon Musk is autistic, don't think this government won't come after the rights of autistic people. -They are cutting special Ed -They are rolling back your workplace protections -They are attacking your access to healthcare Musk being autistic changes nothing.

I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe. She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today. RIP Elisa.

Disabled Black History: When we talk about the fight for disability rights, we have to talk about the Black Panthers. Without them, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act—the first federal civil rights protection for disabled people—might never have been implemented. 🧵 (1/13)

Anyone know a disability and Black panther historian who can speak on the importance of the Black Panthers to disability justice historically and the intersection of disability and race? I want to do an event for the disability caucus

We are going to see some of the biggest attacks on immigrants, Black people, indigenous people, trans and queer individuals, disabled people, etc we have ever seen. It's time to make sure Democrats are stepping up and putting our money where our mouth is. We need support them.

They will attack trans rights to attack disability rights. They will attack disability rights to attack trans rights. More than ever we need to protect each other & those members in both communities. The attacks will only grow stronger, so our resistance & protection needs to grow stronger too.

They're not trying to make the government more efficient. They're trying to break the government so they can enrich themselves. Scott Walker did this in Wisconsin in 2011 with his union-busting "budget repair bill," which had nothing to do with budget repair. Same con every time.

Medicaid helped keep me alive and working. The plans this admin has to cut Medicaid will cut millions off the program. All to put more money into the pockets of millionaires and billionaires. #HandsOffOurMedicaid
