While different, the treatment of Zelenskyy and the demand he be “grateful” for a bare minimum deal that did not actually serve Ukraine reminds me of people demanding Disabled people be “grateful” for bare minimum accommodations that aren’t actually accessible or designed with them involved/in mind.

If I ever catch anyone liking, happily sharing, or laughing at the White House post “asmr illegal alien deportation flight” it is ON SIGHT. That is some of the most HEINOUS slave catcher/master shit I’ve seen and it’s from the OFFICIAL PAGE. I am LIVID. Protect your neighbors. Protect the stranger.

NEW UPDATE to Some Actions That Are Not Protesting or Voting. - a few people have written to me to ask if I could include HEADINGS and I have done so. Also added a few more ideas. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Please keep in mind that many of your disabled friends likely need more accommodations now and in the coming days. AND many of your neighbors will BECOME disabled in the coming days. Don’t wait to educate yourself on how to not be useless.

The Trump Administration is hurting American farmers. By freezing USDA conservation grants for farms and ending USAID, which buys 10-20% of the whole export market, Trump is taking direct aim at our farms.

If you are a yt person over 50, and you’re about to give your negative opinion of the halftime show, THINK: [T]hings don’t have to be “for you” to be good art. [H]eck, Kendrick has a Pulitzer and [I] don’t think you do so maybe you are [N]ot qualified to speak on the caliber of his art [K]?

ASL interpreters who work in the arts (concerts, opera, theatre, etc) deserve to be valued as artists too. it takes so much skill to be this good at capturing the FEEL of music beyond just translating the meaning of the text and it’s an invaluable accessibility service

Calling myself out for my actions with emotional repost frenzy, I’ve reposted or quote posted some photos without alt text. When I’m finished with my paper I will comment under my posts and add alternative alt text for screen readers and I’ll do that with posts without alt text moving forward.

Hmmm. I wonder why. /s (There are alt text for all photos in the immediate replies if you click the original post.)

If you still think they’re not going after Disabled people, you’re wrong. There are several, critical communities this destroys. No working class citizen is spared here. I just needed to emphasize this point.

Disabled people have a lot to teach on the subject.

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☕️

My heart goes out to colleagues in STEM, and to all of higher ed right now. This admin is Not Good for us. Still, I can't help but wish folks had cared when it was the Rest of Us in the crosshairs. I can't get over the idea that many were OK with us being attacked by the far right because "DEI."

It’s not like you can just suspend TB treatments. Interrupting TB treatment, even for a few weeks or months, can lead to widespread community transmission, including the spread of drug-resistant TB. That’s not the kind of resistance we need. #resist

The end game is not “greatness”. The end game is annihilation. And if you think you’re not on the chopping block, you’re just not paying attention to where you are in line. The end of scientific research is, ultimately, the end of human life.

Being disabled is like having a full time job where you have to pay other people.

Under fascism, no one is safe. Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc. Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations. Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.

This #BlackHistoryMonth, take some time to learn about these incredible Black-led organizations and the critical work they're doing on the ground to advance the fight for reproductive justice. They need your support now more than ever.

They’ve called armed federal officers to the scene. We aren’t dangerous. We are here to represent our people. To defend public education. This is an authoritarian regime. You cannot block members of Congress from entering the Department of Education.

Worried about losing access to US federal data that may go off-line, or already is? You’re not alone—but duplication isn’t the answer. Many ongoing efforts have already archived key datasets and many more are ongoing. Check out these existing resources and, if you can, support their work. 🧵

A 🧵 about how neurocultural differences in paraverbal and verbal communication can impact how non-Autistics perceive Autistic folx, especially when filtered through a neuronormative lens Can be similar to why mannequins and robots may freak us out if they’re VERY realistic but still not quite right

The ones labelled “hysterical” are repeatedly proven to be correct. They see what’s coming and they scream at the top of their lungs because they want to warn others. They want to build a resistance. They want to stop things before it’s too late. Instead of judging us, join us. Help us fight back.
