Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Chronically ill people may not have a perfect voting record, but it doesn't mean we don't care! Even with 2 weeks or more of early voting, not feeling well enough to go downstairs and stand in line can last months.
Don't hold it against us as if we're lesser voters. Ok, good talk.

I've lost count of the number of times I haven't gone to a march or done the start and end but driven between and gotten "the look."
We know the one. It's the "You lazy fuck. I guess it's not worth as much to you or you're too good to march" look.
Don't give that look.

Include disabled people in your resistance planning. In many ways we’re built for resistance, as we have to find creative and sustainable ways to survive every single day.
This is the time for intersectionality and community care. We need to work together and save one another.

We worked for months with USAID to build an $85,000,000 project to end TB in two regions of the Philippines.
The project is funded by private money, the Philippine government, and matching USAID funds.
It could provide a blueprint for eliminating TB worldwide--except it's...not happening.
