So much for not touching entitlements. www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

I’m not all about serious politics and ALS here. I like to have a little fun sometimes too. 😆 www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8YB3rL1/

THIS IS PERFECT.

All of the so-called "patriots" who are cheering the felon's dismantling of DEI is indicative as to why it was needed in the first place. That's right. There are people among us who never wanted women, the disabled, or people of color to have equal opportunities. True story☕️

OMG I am so excited. The agency that sends me home health aides just let me know that they finally have a male on staff they can send to me. I’ve been waiting for this for almost a year. All the women they’ve sent have been great, but I’m a big guy so it’s been difficult doing transfers.

I wonder what #LatinosForTrump are feeling right now. www.huffpost.com/entry/trumps...

You wanted a reality show host as a president, well now you’re on Survivor.

JFC. Trump is now trying to argue that NATIVE AMERICANS aren't citizens of the United States. This is THEIR fucking land. www.salon.com/2025/01/23/e...

this is so true! #ForTheLoveOfDogs #Dogs #Puppy #Dog #Puppies #Love #PuppyLove

Sounds like a plan

Omw to a funeral and not looking fwd to all the transfers I’ll have to do. Not having a core makes it so difficult. If we had a van transfers to cars would no longer be a problem. Does anyone know a way to get a wheelchair accessible van. It would really make the difference in my well-being. #endals

Because I have not qualified for Medicaid yet, and that’s the only thing that covers in home care, I have been paying for a home health aide out of pocket. Today I was blessed with a grant from The Peter Frates Family Foundation that will help cover the costs for a couple of months. These grants

This is wonderful news for people living with SOD1–ALS (familial), which affects only 5% of the #ALS population. Unfortunately, they haven’t made this type of advancement for the other 95% of us, which is considered sporadic. ALS is still a 100% fatal disease. #endals

Hope bending the knee was worth it, Nikki Haley.

There are some days you just have to lay back, put on some of your favorite tunes and unwind from the world. What are some songs that you all use to put you in a good mood? I’ll go first. #music #feelgoodmusic #endals youtu.be/7Ho86ggAVrY?...

These three insanely wealthy men who will sit on Trump's dais could not have realized much of their riches without the decision by the Clinton-Gore administration to open the government developed internet for public growth and investment. As they greedily hope to reshape government, remember this.

Black people w/ ALS face unique challenges navigating a medical system entrenched in anti-Blackness. In Dr. Carter’s (@audretaughtme.bsky.social) comic, we see how these challenges can manifest in the healthcare system. To read Dr. Carter's corresponding paper go to: www.theleithlab.com/gaslighting

I’m doubling the number of California National Guard service members in LA to aid local law enforcement and firefighters to protect our communities. California is incredibly grateful for their bravery and commitment to keeping Angelenos safe as we battle these unprecedented fires.

This thing called life is so crazy y’all, and will be especially crazy for the next 4 years. We all need to stick together and prop one another up when one falls. This is the only way the blue team will survive. 🫶🏾💙🏳️‍🌈

Welker: Do you have an actual plan at this point for health care? Trump: Yes. We have concepts of a plan that will be better. Welker: Still just concepts? Do you have a fully developed plan?

Everything stated in this post is a provable fact. You are entitled to your own opinion. You are not entitled to your own facts. Looking at YOU, 2020 election-deniers.

I’ve been living with #ALS for quite some time now. Weak and tired, but I am still here. #endals #lougehrigsdisease #mnd

Best Christmas gift ever! 😃🎁 #endals

@leithlab.bsky.social Hello and happy holidays. I’m checking in to see if the winner of the grant has been announced yet? I don’t have Twitter anymore so if it was posted there, I wouldn’t see it.

So I just fell down, really hard in my travel chair. I was trying to power over a doorway bump, and my chair flipped back, and I hit the back of my head. It’s funny because I haven’t fallen in so long well since New York but it really fucking hurt. 😩

ALS robs people of their strength, voice, and independence. Together, we can fight back. Support those living with ALS and fund vital research. Every donation makes a difference. 💙 Donate now to ALS Quebec and help end ALS: www.alsquebec.ca/donate
