Disabled voices are rarely heard in politics. I emailed her show on a whim. To my surprise, they invited me (a nobody) to speak about the ableism of politicians. She took a chance on me when no one else would. Joy deserved better. #DisabilitySky

It’s been a few days since Trump ordered a missile attack on Nigeria, calling it a “Christmas gift.” It hits close to home because I’m Nigerian American.
I'm tired of this Administration. They are twisted, and the bombing was white supremacist violence by a wannabe dictator. 🤬

A disabled bedbound man has suddenly lost his full time caregiver because ICE took him away.
There can be no social justice with disability justice.
This is cruel & unusual punishment for father and son.
Our caregivers are an extension of us.
Many disabled people die without support

Every ten minutes.
Let that sink in.
Women are killed every ten minutes by intimate partners or family members.
This is why we call out misogyny and patriarchal values.
This is why the President shouldn’t get away with calling female reporters “pigs”
Enough.

I love Christmas time! I’m reliving my childhood and watching Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. There are so many disability themes in it.

Silence is complicity.
Trump calls a woman “piggy”? Speak up.
He calls for the murder of his political opponents? Speak up.
The right starts trying to downplay pedophilia? Starts calling children “barely legal” women? Speak up.
ICE brutalizes someone? Speak up.
We all have a voice. Use it.

Why do we even have senate confirmation hearings?
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

You want to know the real tragedy of thin supremacists co-opting Ozempic, Zepbound, and the like?
