i’ve been denied for disability twice and i’m currently in limbo with my insurance hoping it will cover my getting a basic (not even custom) wheelchair.
in america, being disabled closes doors.

People think that when you become disabled, support magically appears
That once it’s “official” you will have your basic needs met
The truth is people fight for years to get the bare minimum in benefits
Caregivers are nearly impossible to find
If you’re not rich or very lucky… you’re on your own

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

Fascists do love consuming cruelty as spectacle. Ive seen it so often in India, where people I know delight in sharing and reading and watching images and videos that enact violence and cruelty on the bodies of those they deem the other.

ICE is hog tying protesters in Portland and removing them on Dollies.
This is dangerous and could cause serious injury.
The Department of Homeland Security thinks it’s a joke.
They’ve shared this video with the tagline “Refuse to Walk? We’ll give you a ride”.
Stay strong Portland.

This time it was an aide to Stephen Miller who was using Signal so openly in a public space that a bystander captured images of the chat.
Oh and the messages were about sending the *82nd Airborne* into Portland.

Pritzker needs to take some sort of demonstrative action against this. But nothing he does will stop this.
Still, liberal voters and elected leaders are confronted by the fact that the police are not democratically accountable. They have no interest in protecting you or your rights from the feds.

Gov. Pritzker has said all the right things, but now he needs to act and get these state troopers out of there.
