If you’re opposed to fascism, please make sure you’re working on internalized ableism.

The link between fascism, eugenics and ableism is well documented.

Fight for disability rights. Make resistance efforts accessible. Wear a mask & stay home when sick.

Don’t leave us behind.

Hi, so…I am not having debates anymore. Not because they aren’t needed (they really are); but because anyone who could benefit from this type of debate about *this* administration is long gone ideologically.
The proposed Republican budget resolution cuts 880 billion from Medicaid and the annual Medicaid budget is…(any guesses???)…..880 BILLION! THEY WANT TO CUT MEDICAID.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

"Stealing Medicaid is not going to lower costs.

It's just going to push people into hunger, poverty, sickness, and death.

Nobody voted for that!" - @alaw202.bsky.social

Excuse me while I go throw up
We asked DOGE Caucus Republicans to keep Donald Trump's campaign promise: No cuts to Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid.

They refused, saying that "there will be some cuts" and "everything is on the table."

And Marjorie Taylor Greene tossed Trump's campaign flyers in the air.

JD Vance spearheaded a federal ban on mask mandates.

He said it was “a massive victory for personal freedom in this country.”

So wear a mask because JD doesn’t want you to.

Wear a mask to make them harder to ban.

Wear a mask as a form of community care, solidarity and resistance.

Re: certain “hand gestures: A hand gesture alone doesn't make one a N*zi. One’s policies & how they've lived their lives make them eugenicist N*zis who want to kill marginalized groups, including me.

Fun fact: the Technocrat party in Elon’s native South Africa were all about taking over (drumroll…) Canada, Greenland, & the Panama Canal.
Technocrats are seen as pretty evil in historical retrospect. Funner fact: They also referred to people as numbers & sometimes added Xs to their names.

Was wondering why I’ve been in a flare. Ope.
If you’re struggling to unplug, sleep or rest… you’re not alone.

The unrelenting 24 hour news cycle is hard to detach from.

Your nervous system knows it’s under threat. That threat takes a toll…Especially if you’re chronically ill.

Give yourself grace. Flares will happen. We will get through it.

That is all in addition to:
- Defending N*zi “salutes”

- W/d-ing from the WHO & Paris Climate Accords

- Taking down reproductiverights.gov & the Constitution, as well as disability…

It’s being noted on Google and TikTok, you can no longer search about certain historical figures and events…

47 already revoked several policies aimed at tackling the COVID-19 pandemic and preparing the country for future infectious disease outbreaks. He peeled back certain efforts to expand access to COVID-19 treatments and vaccines.

47 just rescinded an Executive Order to lower prescription drug costs for ppl in Medicare and Medicaid.
This halts development of cost-reduction models; increases out-of-pocket expenses; and creates uncertainty in future drug pricing policies.

It will also likely raise the price of insulin again.

Has it hit yet? Who’s the Instagram crowd, the Never Meta, the ones not going back to TikTok, and those buying in for “nostalgia”? When you wonder how people just went along in history—stop wondering. You’re living it. This is how it happens, and now you know.

Keep encouraging people to leave Meta

We can't talk about inclusion, equity, accessibility, or disability justice without also including chronically ill or medically vulnerable people.
