A very lobster eve of eves.

The end of mainstream news didn't start with Trump. It started with corporations building conglomerates to push out the "24hr" news cycle. The Trump Admin is just expediting it. Local independent news outlets are needed more than ever to push back the fascist takeover.

Wall Street Journal files on disability services

From attacking disabled ppl at universities to at the airport, the Wallstreet Journal is bent on eliminating the accommodations we rely on by saying most who request r swindlers & cheaters. This will result in ppl having to "prove" their disability, creating even more barriers. This has got to end.

Normally we see the labor market do a little better in October and November due to the holiday season. Not a good sign.

Here kitty kitty.

New executive summary contains key recommendations for preserving the voting rights of disabled people under guardianship. www.americanprogress.org/article/exec...

A fav movie of mine. Seems inconceivable that I was matched with a dog named Vizzini. RIP Rob Reiner.

I can’t imagine how she must feel to serve this country knowing how aspects of it rejects her and her family and her community for simply existing.

When people talk about banning cellphones in classrooms, my first thought is about school shootings and how kids won't be able to call for help or comfort.

Good god...

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

GOP and their planning...

It was always abt the oil.

Thanks for interviewing me. Without ACA premium subsidies, disabled workers will have fewer career choices and many may not be able to afford health care.

Tomorrow, 12/10, SCOTUS will hear oral argument in Hamm v. Smith, a case with profound implications for how courts assess intellectual disability in death penalty cases. New from me, @seemiaroll.bsky.social and @thedailyhayley.bsky.social: www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

Tomorrow, the Supreme Court will hear a case about how courts apply the death penalty to people w/ intellectual disabilities. Executing people w/ intellectual disabilies goes against the 8th amendment. Yet too many are still executed due to how states test. www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

This holiday season, make a statement with some great @disabilitylab.bsky.social merch. #chingalamigra

Billionaires are the biggest leeches in our society

"The ACA offers disabled people “options that many other people take for granted,” said Mia Ives-Rublee, senior director of the @americanprogress.bsky.social’ Disability Justice Initiative, especially given the ties between insurance and employment." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Did you know that pregnant people receive protections under the ADA for work accommodations? I have no problem with them utilizing accessible parking spaces. I do have a problem w/ the fact that there aren't more of them available. And that public transportation still remains inaccessible for many.

Today is the international day of persons w/ disabilities. Recognizing disability as a universal human experience is essential. Traveling has emphasized to me the interdependence that we have not only w/ those in our communities, but those around the world & across history. #IDPWD

My current ADHD obsession is Lego. I am building a holiday village.

Taking away the opportunity for disabled people to get a fair education is heartless and will only further marginalize them. Weakening the IDEA Threatens Millions of Disabled Americans Like Me www.the74million.org/article/weak... @seemiaroll.bsky.social via @the74.bsky.social

IDEA is the reason I was able to succeed in elementary school. My individualized education plan was so effective, I didn’t even realize my ADHD was a disability until I left the public school system for college. I’ve published scientific papers, got a masters degree and now have a good, steady job.

Saturday was the 50th anniversary of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). I wrote about how the law helped make me who I am today and how losing it's protections may stifle the talent of generations of disabled individuals after me. www.the74million.org/article/weak...

Please someone tell me she has a lot of security.

New Yorkers BLOCK ICE from leaving their parking garage ahead of a flopped mass raid attempt on Canal Street

I saw something say that AI was making undergrad degrees useless and I can't ignore the fact that tech bros and billionaires want everyone else to not attend college to ensure the populace loses critical thinking skills and push them out of the ability to overtake them.

Read this to better understand the significance of IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act). ⬇️

¡Muchos gracias! Chinga la migra.

As usual, #FreeDC. #FreePalestine. #LandBack. #EatTheRich.

Happy turkey day to everyone. Everyone should be able to eat and be housed. I am thankful for all the people who work at soup kitchens and hand out food to low income and unhoused year round. I got to volunteer with Operation Turkey Greensboro. It was great to do something different this year.

The Trump administration is weakening a law that ensures disabled students get a fair and equitable education. @seemiaroll.bsky.social explains for @the74.bsky.social: buff.ly/i3mStDM

An incredibly important read from our friend @seemiaroll.bsky.social "Obtaining an education is one of the best ways to help disabled people secure a stable income—and by weakening the IDEA, the Trump administration is trying to take those opportunities away."

Medicare advantage was a huge expensive mistake

F*ck. It was only a matter of time.

"Actually, you harmed us by using our chatbot in a way that made us look bad" is straight out of the abuser's handbook

So they tore down a wing of the White House without finalized plans for the addition? Sound like what they've been wanting to do with the ACA.

Thanks to @the74.bsky.social for publishing this very personal op-ed about the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and how it impacted my life. #IDEA50 www.the74million.org/article/weak...

I got a llama mama

It should be a crime for politicians to fleece their constituents this badly.

The nice part of making plants out of Lego means I don't have to anxiously watch it die or be concerned about watering it.

Seems overly hopeful to be writing a 2026 work plan before the holidays.

Brilliant

Zini waiting for me to be done shopping at Uniqlo.

Can someone tell me why I have to explain that I need an aisle chair and I have a battery after spending time filling all that info when booking @americanair.bsky.social ?

Basically my thoughts
