"After nearly five hours, he and his wife were released. They are now pursuing legal action. "It's not about the immigrants," his sister, told NBC10 Boston. "It's coming to us Americans, and it's going to go after all of us." www.nbcboston.com/news/politic...

Okay! Here we go. @murray.senate.gov and @cantwell.senate.gov? A major delegation of senators and reps traveling to El Salvador together to demand the release of Abrego Garcia and DUE PROCESS for ALL those we sent there would be EXACTLY the statement you should be sending.

These useless tariffs will disproportionately target disabled people. You know what comes from overseas? Wheelchairs, medications, hearing aids, medical supplies. It will all be more expensive and many disabled people are on a fixed income, which means many will die. This is eugenics at play.

Incredible article about Endometriosis, the delay in diagnosis, and how racial disparities affect it. www.glamour.com/story/endome...

Acting Social Security Commissioner Leland Dudek said that he is consulting with agency lawyers and the Justice Department as he threatens to shut down the agency in response to a court ruling blocking Elon Musk’s team from accessing sensitive taxpayer data.

♿Social Security is NOT just for Seniors. It's also for people like me with Disabilities, people who receive Survivors Benefits & Veterans who receive Social Security benefits. Before I became disabled, I PAID into the program with EVERY paycheck. There are MILLIONS more like me & it is OUR MONEY!♿

The ADA is under attack. They want to make the world unlivable for us again. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

I can’t emphasize enough how much accessibility benefits everyone. Ramps, elevators, ventilated air, automatic doors. You caring about accessibility is literally caring about your future. You will become disabled unless you die young. Investing in the disability community is investing in yourself.

TOMORROW- Friday, February 28th is BLACKOUT FRIDAY! If you believe we are in danger of losing our Democracy forever, FIGHT BACK! Let's make our voices heard in numbers too big to ignore. JOIN US if you've had it with Comrade Krasnov. 🤬 🇷🇺 #24HourEconomicBlackout

“Too often the result is that people with disabilities cannot afford to live in large new buildings with deluxe elevators because housing costs remain so high, while smaller buildings may offer no elevator at all.”

Upcoming economic protest actions ➡️ participate if you can ⚠️ Feb 28: Economic blackout (if you have to buy something, only buy from local businesses!) ⚠️

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

I’m so tired of disabled people being left behind in almost every way. In education, in economics, in diversity, in equity, I could go on. With things shifting and society uprising, disabled people are usually the last to be thought of. I can’t tell you how traumatizing it is to be abandoned.

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Note: In 2024 alone, Musk’s enterprises were awarded approximately $3 billion across nearly 100 federal contracts, averaging about $8 million per day.

As we’ve been calling out for weeks, they had more than just “read access.” The Treasury has now revoked the editing access that was “mistakenly” given to a musk staffer.

Use the 5calls app or 5calls.org to contact your reps and congress people about Elon's illegal takeover of government payment systems. I made my first calls today!

BREAKING: President Trump has withdrawn the U.S. from the United Nations Human Rights Council. This move will erode efforts to protect universal human rights and undermine the work of international bodies that hold all governments accountable.

I will be calling Ms. Cantwell today to express my utter disgust at her confirmation of the man that handed the keys to my benefits to Elon. Who do you work for, exactly, senator? #thisisacoup

Yes folks please process that what’s happening right now is that Mr Nazi Salute has access to the personal information of every Jew in America, along with every person who gets/has gotten disability benefits, and so on The Holocaust was an administrative process that included lists of targets

It’s the job of every congressional democrat to grind the gears of government to a stop. Right now. Block everything. Slow walk every committee. Call every vote. Filibuster every post office name change. State Dems need to build parallel institutions to protect the people at home. GET TO WORK.

Happy Black History Month to you and yours from me and mine. Happy Black history year to you and yours from me and mine. Happy Black history life to you and yours for me and mine.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out. This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

Black History Month is absolutely happening over here and it’s going to be magical! BNC’s Annual Black Magical History Month Celebration is back! We hope you’ll join us in this month long celebration of Black characters, stories, and people! 💜✨

No. The Medicaid portals were shut down because the OMB demanded they be. They’re only back up because of the outcry. I’d tell you to stop lying but we know that’s a feature of this administration.

Let's be clear: the Medicaid portal went offline because of Donald Trump's orders. The only reason it is back on is due to outrage from the American people. Now, they are trying to lie about it. Medicaid was never taken away from Americans under President Biden.

Got a Dem Senator? They can do more than just vote. -Oppose Nominees -Reject Unanimous Consent -Vote NO on Cloture -Request Quorum Calls This is a constitutional crisis. They should act like it. Send an email to your Dem senators here: act.indivisible.org/sign/urge-de...

It just never stops, does it. #protecttranskids

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Sorry America but after Jan 31 no industrial size Kirkland Signature for you if the workers don't get their due

The difficult part is how disability and chronic illness are used as justification for Ai. The community wants and needs it for medical applications, accessibility and early detection. We don’t want generative Ai. Disabled people need imagination to survive, why would we need it to create?

The Revolution Will Not be Televised -take more Polaroids, take pictures with film - put an actual pen to actual paper - talk to people in person - preserve banned books and science books - participate in community gardens - run for office or school board in your town

Folks are gonna go feral and I’m here for it. #Neurodivergent #Autistic

Apparently, AOC said in the hearing to ban TikTok, there was little to know evidence presented and all the legislators were confused why the app was uniquely being presented as a threat.

Apparently Premera doesn't consider wheelchair repair service to be medically necessary. Nor is a prescription from my doctor enough documentation for the part, unlike what I was initially told. Why is being a wheelchair user such a fucking circus? #disability #crippunk #wheelchair #insurance

Roughly 68,000 Americans die each year due to lack of healthcare. Medical debt is the leading cause of bankruptcy in America. It’s way past time for single-payer healthcare.

It is kind of crazy that we invest so much because "people have to drive" when literally 1/3 of the population doesn't or can't drive. How about "people have to get around" being the default for transportation policy?

It’s #InternationalDayOfPeopleWithDisabilities! I tend to ramble when I post about disability so I’ll try to keep this short and let the slides speak for themselves. There are more slides in the replies. My relationship with my disabilities is freaking complicated. So I totally understand if 🧵

"Mia Ives-Rublee, the senior director of the Disability Justice Initiative at the @americanprogress.bsky.social, said that ending the certificate program 'is one of the first steps to reducing poverty within the disability community and stopping the exploitation of disabled people.'”
