Our chair, @somesaylezzels.bsky.social just got off a call with @edmarkey.bsky.social & other organizers. Sen Markey & her spoke about the importance of protecting Medicaid & Social Security, & also about the attacks on trans and disabled people. We are lucky to have Markey as such a strong ally!

This Executive Order is not a direct attack on Marbury v. Madison and SCOTUS; it IS a direct attack on the 19 independent federal regulatory agencies, including financial regulators: SEC, FDIC, CFTC, CFPB, NCUA, FHFA, OCC and much of the Fed. It's the next step in Musk making X everyone's bank.

Disability Justice cannot exist without trans, non-binary, or queer people 👏🏻

As the future of Medicaid funding continues to be a part of the national conversation, here’s what you need to know about how it currently ensures quality health and long-term care for large swaths of people.

"Trans and disability rights are intertwined. We can't focus on saving 504 without also realizing this attack is also on existence and acceptance of trans/non-binary people. The only way we can liberate ourselves is striving to liberate everyone." -Chair, Leslie Templeton

“They’re utilizing LGBTQ issues as a wedge. The [504] attack is really about the regulatory process of the federal government, and this will impact almost every interaction that a disabled person has with the services and supports that they receive.” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Disabled Black History: When we talk about the fight for disability rights, we have to talk about the Black Panthers. Without them, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act—the first federal civil rights protection for disabled people—might never have been implemented. 🧵 (1/13)

Hope is necessary to defeat fascism and autocracy. Hold on to it dearly. Don't let them steal it.

MAGA/MAHA are planning massive cuts to Medicaid, resulting in catastrophic coverage loss. Monday, 1/10 @ 4PM ET, we're doing a webinar on how to advocate for Medicaid with the legislative staff of a Member of Congress or U.S. Senator (This is not geared towards providers/clinicians) Register ⤵️

🚨🚨PLEASE help the Young Democrats Disability Caucus (@ydadisability.bsky.social) fundraise for our "Disabled Democracy" project to push back against Trump? You can either reach out to help or donate directly through this link: secure.actblue.com/donate/ydadi...

The Young Democrats, including the @ydadisability.bsky.social, are probably the most progressive part of the Democratic Party. Please donate if you can.

Trump is using “shock and awe” to keep us overwhelmed. The best way to fight back? Stay focused. Pick a few key issues and commit to them. Spreading yourself too thin leads to burnout—and he’s counting on that. Don’t play into his hands.

If RFK Jr. is confirmed, we will be the LARGEST thorn in his side. We will protect the American people with everything we have. Want to help? Join our caucus! 🔥

In court just now, the states are introducing @PressSec tweet saying the funding freeze is still active as evidence that their lawsuit should continue.

As a caucus, this confirmation hearing has only solidified our stance that RFK Jr is one of the biggest threats to the disability community over the next 4 years.

Dear Mr. Kennedy: The APA has done MULTIPLE studies and have stated that neither mental health nor mental health medication causes school shootings but that this narrative has caused harm by further stigmatizing psychiatric disorders & treatment.

🚨A confirmation of RFK Jr to head HHS would be one of the most catastrophic confirmations. We as a caucus urge Senators on both sides of the isle to do what's right and vote NO on confirming RFK Jr.
