Adverse weather events disproportionately impact disabled people
We’re more reliant on electricity & infrastructure than our non disabled peers
We need warning & time to prepare
DHS is telling FEMA to downplay using the word “ice”
Check on the disabled people in your life. Make sure they’re ok.

CNN: DHS officials have come to FEMA staff and told them to limit the use of the word ice…they are worried that by posting something like, watch out for the ice, that it's going to become a meme….

NEW: I was one of 3 reporters granted access to the convening of 600+ clergy in Minneapolis this week.
It was a striking show of solidarity with MN clergy resisting ICE, but heralded something else: the emergence of a vast, faith-based network trained to resist ICE. religionnews.com/2026/01/23/i...

I'm not one for false optimism. But what I witnessed today in Minneapolis was tremendous, both in scale and exuberance. It was a stunning answer to the federal assault on Minnesota, a show of solidarity that gives us something to hold on to during times that are unforgiving.
“Everybody Showed Up”: Stunning Crowds at Minnesota Day of Strike and Shutdown Against ICE
Extreme cold didn't stop the shutdown on Friday as some 100 faith leaders were arrested, residents stayed home from work, and an estimated 50,000 or more marched through downtown Minneapolis.

Something is deeply wrong if we, as a society, cannot agree that an administration that snatches up children, uses them as bait to hunt down others, is morally repulsive.
They want to tell you a kid with a Spider-Man backpack is evil
Liam Ramos' innocence, like the innocence of all kids, is unimpeachable. The visuals of his arrest are excruciating.

It is 8:30 p.m. on Friday, folks. If you're in Minnesota, you've probably had some sort of evening meal by now but if not you should get on that.
Take any meds you may need.
Hydrate. Put on the good lip balm. Moisturize. Top off that humidifier. Whatever you need to do to take care of you. ❤️

This NICU nurse broke babies bones.
She was in charge of their safety, and chose to them instead.
Vulnerable premature infants who couldn’t fight back.
She’s only facing three years as part of a plea deal.
Three years for torturing and disabling infants.

Dear Next Gen,
This was not the plan. It was NEVER the plan to leave you a hot, overflowing planet or a USA that spurns law and justice, spurns humanitarian principles, openly incarcerates & tortures innocents, craves slavery, and values greed above all.
I'm sorry. I'm still fighting back.
