The dismantling of the Department of Education hurts MAGA most. Their rampant misspelling of martial law which they turn into ‘Marshall’ law. Are you referring to Penny Marshall law - the Laverne and Shirley act of 1983
Or Marshall Mathers Law governing diss tracks of the early 2000s?

Thank God. I was worried my autistic daughter might have too many resources available.

I'm tired and would like for this ride to end now, please.

Y'all I'm really, really concerned that the disability community is treating trans people as disposable when it comes to 504 activism/advocacy. We cannot do that. Not only do trans people deserve better but we also need each other (and trans disabled people exist!)!!!

Make no mistake, "you do you" Covid policies helped pave the way for Trump's victory

They emboldened him to be more aggressive and openly fascist this time around

You can't throw away entire groups of people & not see very real consequences

Fed study ties 1918 flu pandemic to Nazi Party gains
The paper examined municipal spending levels and voter extremism in Germany from the time of the initial influenza outbreak until 1933.

I hope all the people who voted for cheaper eggs over my daughter's human rights are enjoying the most expensive eggs ever and don't get bird flu because there is no government oversight to even tell you when you're in danger. America!

I want you all to pay extra attention in the coming week.

They're coming for SSI and disability next. And it won't be so loud like the other hot button issues.

It will be a quiet pull, barely mentioned anywhere on the news, if any.

Listen to those on disability.
They're going to know first

While 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg, combined, own more wealth than the bottom half of America. 

Apparently, that’s not enough. Republicans want to give them a massive tax break by slashing Medicaid.

Together, we will stop them.

Words mean things. Inclusion works if you know what the shit it actually means. And if you don't want to teach disabled kids, then don't be a teacher.
January 17, 2025 at 12:51 PM
People fighting inclusion literally do not know what it is. They think mainstreaming or putting a disabled kid in a class with zero support is inclusion. Then they are wondering why the kid can't magically adapt to a hostile, inaccessible environment that was set up to intentionally exclude.

I ordered a box for everyone at my shop and a bunch more from this list. You get yummy cookies AND are supporting trans youth!
1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts?

Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.

Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

I'm looking for tips for trans folks traveling to red states in the U.S. We're planning a trip this summer to visit family. My daughter and I want to be safe & prepared. (It's not one of the do not travel states but is in the American south).

I also wish very much that folks would read some older writing by self-advocate & neurodiversity bloggers, and some of the older books out there... because it can really feel like a whole cohort of newly-dx'd people is trying to reinvent the wheel of what we already know every 5 yrs or so.
There's a whole trend now where autistic people are blowing up on social media and getting brand and book deals within a year or two of diagnosis and I wish they'd take some time to reflect how much of their current ability to accept themselves and thrive is attached to their ability to monetize.
