Yesterday was the 30th anniversary of the Disability Discrimination Act. The absolute tumbleweed from the media & gov shows just how much they want to bury how much disabled people fought and still fight for our rights.

One of the unexpected things I've learned from my advocacy for trans people is how malignant parts of the State can be, how it can misuse data for positively evil purposes. It's taught me people can't be safe with a digital ID card and so I've signed this. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...
Petition: Do not introduce Digital ID cards
We demand that the UK Government immediately commits to not introducing a digital ID cards. There are reports that this is being looked at.

Saying that the kids in Gaza who died of starvation had “pre existing conditions” is eugenics.
It’s a way to make people not care that kids are being starved to death.
It’s ableism.
It’s labelling them as expendable because they were sick.
No child is expendable.

As someone actually trained in behavioural psychology—unlike most MPs—I can tell you: financial precarity doesn’t “incentivise” sick people to work. It breaks them. Stress worsens health. Fear doesn’t create productivity. It creates collapse. #TakingThePIP
DWP boss just said Universal Credit gives disabled people 'perverse incentives' not to work
Liz Kendall's shocking comments came just as a new report slams the DWP for failing vulnerable claimants.
So which is it???

Please don’t ignore this the next time you’re told “it’s either these guys or Reform” coz this is also what Reform would do and you should rail against it no matter what colour the tie is.
Incontrovertible evidence, now, of *police* investigating families supporting their kids with gender affirming healthcare in the UK. For trying to do the best for your child, following best practice in most of the world, here you get a visit from the police.
Thank you, Wes Streeting.

Absolutely horrific. We are watching ethnic cleansing and genocide happening in broad daylight, in real time. Our govt has a duty to prevent genocide - and yet is still selling arms to Israel. The UK's complicity must end.

The PIP cuts are horrifying. The presupposition that there are jobs for people who can't put on trousers or use the toilet is obscene. The only job that would allow one to go around half naked, while shitting themselves in public, is being a UK politician.

Hi! Are you cis in the UK and you'd like to support trans rights? Great!
How: buy a trans flag pin and wear it in public.
Why: chaff is an overwhelming amount of false positives so that when a missile gets close to the plane, it hits the chaff and not the plane.

The government's welfare Bill is a cruel and disgusting attack on disabled people and their right to live in dignity.
MPs should ask themselves: did you become an MP so you could push thousands of disabled people into poverty?

The determination of Labour to enact policies it knows will cause significant harm to marginalised communities, shows the issue with setting policy by "focus group vibes" rather than genuine need, or even genuine public opinion. It also has the secondary impact of free advertising for Reform. 1/
