“There are a lot of different directions that this could go in, but they’re all bad and all harmful for people who are struggling to afford housing.”
As Trump plans raids on homeless encampments in DC, it seems like a good time to revisit this piece on his ongoing war with affordable housing:

Yes, more people could potentially work with the right job, the right employer, and the right adjustments/support.
But many still won't be able to. This is just a fact.
And actually it's cruel to have someone work, if it would mean they don't have any capacity left to live.

When a disabled person asks for help, please understand we’ve likely exhausted all options before asking.
We’ve tried everything before coming to you.
Believe us and offer the help requested (if you can)
Don’t force us to spin our wheels answering a bunch of “why don’t you just do…” questions

Big Oil ally Lee Zeldin just gutted the EPA's research arm, which informs the agency's life-saving work to regulate toxic chemicals and pollution.
It's the latest example of how Trump's deregulation spree benefits his corporate donors at our expense.

Covid is a social justice issue.
If we cared about reducing transmission, we would be providing respirators, tests, vaccines, paxlovid and paid time off to everyone.
If you can’t afford a mask, make sure to check for a local mask bloc!

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

THIS IS WHAT FASCISM LOOKS LIKE:
Disabled Medicaid activists in wheelchairs were just ZIP-TIED and ARRESTED by Capitol Police for protesting inside the Russell Senate Office Building.
Their banner was ripped from their hands. They were fighting for healthcare—and got handcuffs instead.

The Ku Klux Klan Acts (passed in 1870 & 1871 to protect 14th amend rights) were particularly focused on masked gunmen who violated the civil rights of Black people. We should remember this history when masked law enforcement ofcrs are deployed in our communities.

If exercise helped/helps you manage your mental health conditions, I'm super happy for you.
But it's not a cure-all, and not everyone can do it.
And it should never be used to put down other treatments like medication, which many need and which helps them.
