Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

One of the most powerful revelations for your personal and political growth is this: if you live long enough, you’ll become disabled.
No one is immune to illness, injury, or aging.
If you’re not committed to disability justice for altruistic reasons, commit for selfish ones. And guard your health.

Here it is—our first look at the proposed HHS/Medicaid cuts. If this is allowed to pass, many people like me will be institutionalized. Community-based services completely eliminated. Disabled people from birth through end-of-life will suffer. Many will literally not survive these cuts.

RFK Jr. is very loud and very WRONG about Autism.
1. It’s not a disease
2. There are thousands of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder who pay taxes, have jobs, can use the bathroom on their own, and are thriving in life.

No, Mr. Trump. We won't allow you to pay for tax breaks to billionaires by eliminating Head Start which provides early education to over 800,000 children and LIHEAP that keeps seniors and families warm in the winter.

I have been a disability advocate for over 20 years. I am appalled at a high-ranking government official so blatantly saying that if you are disabled, your life is worthless. People with autism work, love, and lead fully functioning, happy lives.

Your regular reminder: A large proportion of the rising #disability bill is due to an ageing population—because disability increases with age. This isn’t a ‘crisis’ of fraud or overdiagnosis, it’s basic demographics.
