This is what #GoodTrouble looks like. It’s also great that segregationist Storm Thurmond no longer holds the record. 💙

When asked a follow-up question about what they would do if they became disabled in old age, they said they imagined there would be some government program to help them take care of it. thesqueakywheel.org/poll-most-am...

I need folks to realize that every single disabled person has been living in a state of constant trauma for years. Not only was my life personally ruined, I got to watch my friends die in various states of neglect. I had people I trusted suddenly decide to stop caring about my safety.

It’s odd that you say ppl want leaders who are young but play up Bernie Sanders, who’s not a Democrat, has said the same thing for 40+ yrs, doesn’t have record of doing something, & is in his 80s. Smh

2/3rds of US households have a disabled person in them. We’re at a heightened risk. I can’t go places most go bc no one will accommodate our survival needs. Pls see & include us. #Disability #DisabilityJustice #NEISVoid

This has happened to every woman I’ve interacted w who has #ChronicPain & many disabled women. It needs to stop—a 33 y-o woman died bc drs said it was all “in her head.” Pls do better for #DisabilityJustice . #Disability #ChronicIllness people.com/ehlers-danlo...

This is a BFD for the #Disability community & for seniors. RFK closed a crucial agency that helps w assistance via independent living centers & cut 10K HHS jobs, harming our community. #DisabilityJustice

Did you know that disabled people don’t have marriage equality? If we get married, we lose critical healthcare & services we can’t do without. If we don’t, we’re not allowed to marry the person we love. As a friend says, disabled people are people! Pls include us. #DisabilityJustice #Disability

The US government's programs that are intended to help disabled individuals, have institutionalized ableism built in that force people with disabilities into a life of poverty. Work too much? Bye health insurance! Get 2k in the bank? Good bye SSI! #Disability www.cbsnews.com/news/disabil...

🏥 💊 Something I learned recently and want to share because many taking antidepressants also live with pain: Using an NSAID when you’re on an SSRI medication can increase your risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, kidney damage, and serotonin syndrome. NSAIDs can also decrease an SSRI’s effectiveness.
