President Trump’s proposed FY26 “skinny” budget is out—and it’s a direct threat to the disability community. It slashes and eliminates critical programs we depend on. We must pay attention and push back.

RFKJ is out there spouting lies and dehumanizing people with autism. We want to hear from you in your own words. For those on the autism spectrum or with family/friends on the spectrum: what do you wish the world knew about people with autism?

In just three months, Trump and DOGE have made moves that are scary, infuriating, and downright alarming. What’s got you most concerned? #DPoP #CripTheLaw

RFK Jr. thinks it’s okay to dig through the private medical records of millions of Americans for his autism 'study'? Nope. #DPoP #DisabilityRights #HandsOffOurData #CripTheLaw

Disability is one of the few minority groups you can join at any time.
People believe they will be the exception & have trouble accepting they’re likely to become disabled at some point in their lives.
Work on internalized ableism. Engage in disability justice. It will benefit you in the long run

Repost if you or someone you know is autistic and has paid taxes, held a job, played basketball, or gone on a date. RFK's harmful rhetoric misrepresents our community. #RepresentationMatters #DPoP

No matter how many EOs Trump signs, they do not become law. Only Congress can pass laws.
The ADA is law.
This matters to EVERYONE. If you don’t need it now, wait.

The Trump Regime has deleted DOJ guidance to businesses on complying with the Americans With Disabilities Act.
25% of Americans live with a disability.
Trump cannot delete the ADA, and he cannot delete disabled Americans. We are not going back to asylums and sanitariums.

The Dept. of Education (ED) enforces IDEA and Section 504, ensuring students with disabilities get the services they need. Without it, who holds states accountable? #EDMatters

Walz: "The idea that the secretary of education would not know what IDEA is -- individuals with disability in education act -- that's like your mechanic not knowing how to put air in your tire. And she's in charge of this nation's education progress. It is catastrophic."

Today is the 35th anniversary of the Capitol Crawl, in which disabled activists discarded their mobility aids at the foot of the Capitol steps to climb them in support of passage of the Americans with Disabilities Ac. Jennifer Keelan-Chaffins, 8, told reporters "I'll take all night if I have to!"

The cuts to the Department of Education are cruel and illegal. This department provides vital services and funding to schools of all levels in all 50 states that are now in jeopardy.

The recent cuts to the Department of Education are only the beginning, and the impact on students with disabilities will be devastating. Our organization is ready to help, if there’s a way we can support, please reach out. #DPoP #DisabilityRights

Thank you, @duckworth.senate.gov and @kim.senate.gov for your efforts to protect veterans terminated from the federal government. We must keep mobilizing as a community to pass similar legislation for federal employees with disabilities. #DPoP
