Republicans passed a budget with $880B in cuts to Medicaid, harming disabled folks, children, veterans, and older Americans while giving billionaires tax breaks. It’ll destroy jobs. Close hospitals. Increase health care costs for all. It’s a part of their class war on working class and poor people.

Just thinking about how my former Trump-hating turned MAGA father and his new MAGA Brazilian wife told me I didn’t know what I was talking about when I called Bolsonaro a dictator and fascist 🫶🏼

So you’re saying you want diversity? Some equity? And maybe even inclusion? Interesting.

bringing your kid to circle around a sexual predator while he signs a nonsense piece of paper that will affect about 40 people total but negatively impact the mental health of millions of young trans people is tantamount to child abuse IMO

Disability:IN appears to be silently renaming the 10+ year old "Disability Equality Index" to "Disability Index." Instincts tell me this is to avoid the "DEI" acronym. It started at least 7 days ago. I collected dozens of screenshots from their socials & website. semanticfish.net/is-disabilit...

Donald Trump is a mediocre man who has failed upwards because of his wealth and privilege. His remarks were par for the course from a man who has spent his life denigrating and devaluing people he deems to be less than him. They were repulsive and devoid of empathy. Thanks @skynewss.bsky.social

I’ve got to say, I am zero (0) percent surprised that most abled people completely ignored and abandoned disabled folks today. Shocked, disgusted, disappointed, sad - yes. Surprised? Nah. Not one bit. Not an ounce of solidarity in most of your politics.

Despite Donald Trump’s claims on, disabled people did not cause the plane crash at DCA. What a dangerous, repugnant, morally reprehensible thing to say to a nation of people who are shocked & scared and especially to the grieving families of people who just died in a horrific and unimaginable way.

Let me be clear: Despite what Trump just claimed on national TV, the hiring of disabled people did not cause the plane crash in DC. The President of the United States is a hateful, ignorant, morally reprehensible excuse for a human being and hell isn’t hot enough for him.

Sick and unforgivable that 90% of people who share my religion and ethnicity will excuse and justify this. Hell isn’t hot enough. Free Palestine.

I’m in DC staying a couple miles from the airport. I suddenly heard a ton of sirens a few hours ago and then I saw the news. I haven’t been able to sleep since. I just don’t understand how a military helicopter could be allowed to get that close to the runway?? What an unbelievable tragedy.

So glad they are waiting until tomorrow. Really crucial because it’s not urgent or anything. It’s not like the freeze happens at 5pm today. Go home, get some rest, take a bath, eat a cute little meal, come back tomorrow and wait until mid-day to meet and maybe start with a 20-minute icebreaker too.

This includes money to Centers for Independent Living. Not clear if this applies for SNAP, TANF, WIC, etc - some folks saying it does, others say no bc of the footnote saying it excludes assistance to individuals. Hopefully clarity soon but either way I’d love to now what Dems are planning to do?

The majority of white people are afraid of DEI and pronouns so now we gotta survive fascism again. I hate these people so goddam much.

“What if Trump cancels Disability Pride Month??” Y’all (white disabled people), let’s please be so fucking serious. Trans folks and Black folks and immigrants have literal targets on them. He’s probably gonna destroy Medicaid and social security. Who gives a fuck about Disability Pride Month??

Alanis Morissette levels of ironic that the US loves touting the defeats of the Confederacy and Nazi Germany as examples of its moral superiority and now its being run by open neoconfederates and neonazis.

Don’t have much energy for this? You can just write “I’m disabled/care about a disabled person & I support the proposed rule”

Disabled people can legally be paid pennies per hour while the CEOs who pay them make six figure salaries. Wanna change that? You have until TOMORROW to let the DOL know that this can’t continue. Go here: www.federalregister.gov/documents/20....

Hello, I am here with a pedantic note! ASL is American Sign Language. In Australia, the Deaf community uses Auslan. They are different languages and "ASL" does not refer to all Sign. Thank you and good night.

Friends, if you message on clean indoor air, and you only talk about diseases, that's a losing message. You've got to include wildfire smoke / other sorts of pollution.

“it’s cough season, put an onion in your room to stop the cough” or hear me out babe, there’s something you could place on your face that would actually prevent you from getting and spreading said cough and then we wouldn’t have to call it “cough season” just spitballing though
