All the reasons to fight for the support that individuals with disabilities deserve, described so well by @lollardfish.bsky.social. "When it comes to work, communication, education and health care, not to mention basic human dignity, the Trump administration is ready to abandon kids like my son."
"It’s easy to miss the human side of policy, legal compliance, the nitty gritty of efficient government. To get caught up in slogans about fraud or waste. That’s what Musk and Trump are counting on. And yet I see and hear the human side every time my son says “My dad’s name is David.” On @msnbc.com

Here's an eloquent and helpful explanation of why Section 504 matters so much: for students with disabilities, for schools, for everyone. Please read and please fight for 504.

Any friends still in Indiana: please contact your AG to say #HandsOff504 — an attempt to erase civil rights for disabled individuals (big implications for health care and schools).

Books! And more books!
Reminder: Your friends want books for the holidays. Lots and lots and lots of books. You also want books. You should probably buy yourself a book while buying books for your friends. Bored?

I'm a few days late here, but. . . SUCH a fabulous newsletter (as always) by @mdbell79.bsky.social. I'm not a runner, but the comparisons between writing/running make the advice so vivid. "Relentless forward progress" is the motto for the day!
