The ADA and the elimination of sick and disabled people is definitely their next priority. I've been sitting with this for a minute.
Saying it now so don’t say I didn’t try warn you. I mean every word.

If they come for the ADA, I am going to lose my shit. They can pry it from my COLD REYNAUD’S INFLICTED HANDS. If I die in the process I am haunting all of these bitches.
🔊 PSA for nondisabled people 🔊

It's time to step the FUCK up if you wanna be an ally.

ASL interpretation is being targeted by right wing cry baby douchebags.

Shut this shit down when you see it. SPEAK UP. This barrage of ASL hate is heavier than usual.

The experiences of deaf people in Nazi Europe constitute a neglected chapter in the history of the Holocaust and the Museum is actively collecting stories related to deaf victims.

“But the people who died had preexisting conditions.” So what? Does that mean their lives didn’t matter? Does that mean they weren’t important? Disabled people can hear you when you excuse our deaths. Our lives have value.

Please join science supporters, scientists, and experts in signing an open letter asking Congress to stand up against attempts to politicize or eliminate scientific roles, agencies, and federal research that protect our health, environment, and our communities.

We're trapped in a game of Monopoly where oligarchs own all the property and the rest of us are simply making our way around the board trying to avoid financial ruin.

They've also bought the bank and the government, so they can change the rules to their liking.

It's game over or time for a reset.

My Co-founder Josh Weinsch took this photo of his little daughter’s bike, which was in their driveway when they evacuated. Their neighborhood was vaporized.

In 2025, we're not having "guilty pleasures."
We are liking things enthusiastically and unapologetically. And we're sharing our love of things without shame or guilt.

I’m not looking forward to another wave of:

“This virus novel to humans is okay because *only* people with chronic illness/disability and those over 60 die from it.”

I don’t want to go through the state and the media telling me that I, and so many I love are disposable YET AGAIN.

No, no no.

We are not doing this "oh it's ok because they had underlying medical conditions bullshit" yet again

First off--anyone who's ever had covid now possibly has an "underlying medical condition" they aren't even aware of

Second--people with existing conditions 👏 are not acceptable losses 👏

This photograph of an iron lung ward was taken in 1952 at the Rancho Los Amigos Rehabilitation Center, the same year Jonas Salk developed the first effective polio vaccine & two years before RFK, Jr. was born. That vaccine rendered rooms like this unnecessary. RFK, Jr. wants to revoke its approval.

When I had a violent stalker who would graphically describe how he would have me gang raped, puncture my organs and and break all my bones, I was told the police "couldn't do anything".

Consider this a reminder that they absolutely ✨can✨ do something.

They just don't care about YOU.
