President Trump’s proposed FY26 “skinny” budget is out—and it’s a direct threat to the disability community. It slashes and eliminates critical programs we depend on. We must pay attention and push back. #DPoP #DisabilityJustice #HandsOff #GetInformed

RFKJ is out there spouting lies and dehumanizing people with autism. We want to hear from you in your own words. For those on the autism spectrum or with family/friends on the spectrum: what do you wish the world knew about people with autism?

In just three months, Trump and DOGE have made moves that are scary, infuriating, and downright alarming. What’s got you most concerned? #DPoP #CripTheLaw

RFK Jr. thinks it’s okay to dig through the private medical records of millions of Americans for his autism 'study'? Nope. #DPoP #DisabilityRights #HandsOffOurData #CripTheLaw

Disability is one of the few minority groups you can join at any time. People believe they will be the exception & have trouble accepting they’re likely to become disabled at some point in their lives. Work on internalized ableism. Engage in disability justice. It will benefit you in the long run

disability issues are human issues because literally every single human being is only temporarily able-bodied

Hey members of the disability community! What questions do you have about the changes President Trump and DOGE have been making? What are your biggest concerns right now? Let’s get the conversation going. #DPoP #RepresentationMatters

Repost if you or someone you know is autistic and has paid taxes, held a job, played basketball, or gone on a date. RFK's harmful rhetoric misrepresents our community. #RepresentationMatters #DPoP

📢ATTENTION TERMINATED HHS FEDS 📢 A team of former HHS employees is collecting stories from fired HHS workers to document the impact of cuts to HHS work and the public. Share your story here hhs-impacts.org or email [email protected]. See linked-in post below. www.linkedin.com/posts/trina-...

No matter how many EOs Trump signs, they do not become law. Only Congress can pass laws. The ADA is law. This matters to EVERYONE. If you don’t need it now, wait.

Senator Bill Cassidy is planning to propose a bill to help Trump shut down ED! Call him NOW and tell him you oppose his actions. Ask how he plans to support more than 7.5 MILLION students with disabilities nationwide. 📞 (202) 224-3121 #DPoP #ProtectOurStudents

The Dept. of Education (ED) enforces IDEA and Section 504, ensuring students with disabilities get the services they need. Without it, who holds states accountable? #EDMatters

Walz: "The idea that the secretary of education would not know what IDEA is -- individuals with disability in education act -- that's like your mechanic not knowing how to put air in your tire. And she's in charge of this nation's education progress. It is catastrophic."

The ADA was won after a series of battles. This was one of them. 🖤🖤🖤

The cuts to the Department of Education are cruel and illegal. This department provides vital services and funding to schools of all levels in all 50 states that are now in jeopardy.

The recent cuts to the Department of Education are only the beginning, and the impact on students with disabilities will be devastating. Our organization is ready to help, if there’s a way we can support, please reach out. #DPoP #DisabilityRights

We know the reduction in force targeted Office for Civil Rights offices in Cleveland, SF, Chicago, Boston, Dallas, & Philly. Students & teachers need us to keep fighting until these offices are reopened & staff are back to work supporting our kids. #DPoP #EdDept

We condemn the Trump Admin’s decision to lay off half of the Department of Education. This will harm students with disabilities. We want to hear from current and former employees, students, and families, let’s protect our education system. #DPoP #StudentswithDisabilities

📣 ATTENTION CDC AND FEDS 📣 We want to use this platform to amplify stories about what federal workers do, why they do it, and how firings affect that work and the American people. Please DM your stories to us on bluesky or signal (altcdc.99). Stories will be kept anonymous. #SeeCDC #fedstrong

Thank you, @duckworth.senate.gov and @kim.senate.gov for your efforts to protect veterans terminated from the federal government. We must keep mobilizing as a community to pass similar legislation for federal employees with disabilities. #DPoP

The Department of Education plays a crucial role in supporting students with disabilities. We must protect it! Our community deserves equal access to education and resources. #DPoP #SaveTheDeptOfEd #DisabilityRights #EducationForAll

We want to hear from YOU! What should the advocacy priorities be for the disability community? Help us shape our organization’s future! #DPoP #DisabilityRights #Advocacy

Less than a month until Disabled & Hilarious hits the stage! Don't miss out on the laughs – grab your tickets now! #DPoP #Comedy #DisabledAndHilarious #DPoP#GetYourTickets

Musk says millions of dead people get Social Security. That's a lie. Here's the truth: 30,000 people die a year waiting for an understaffed Social Security to approve disability benefits. Musk's plan to cut Social Security's staff by 50% will make this tragic reality even worse.

Today marks the anniversary of Judy Heumann’s passing. For many of us, Judy was a mentor, friend, advocate, and connector whose memory continues to guide our work. We remain dedicated to preserving and advancing her legacy. #DPoP #MarchFourth

"Gradually, excruciatingly slowly, things start to happen, and then suddenly, seemingly out of the blue, something will tip." - Judy Heumann

Federal workers face unprecedented uncertainty, with many already terminated or fearing they’re next. It's crucial Congress understands how terminations impact the disability community. Use our template to send a letter: shorturl.at/AJ3vT #DPoP

This temporary halt allows the Office of Special Counsel to further investigate their claims of unlawful termination. If you have been fired, take action now! File an appeal within 30 days by submitting your case online or by mail to protect your rights.

Call to Action: The Merit Systems Protection Board, an independent federal agency that safeguards federal employees in employment disputes, has paused the terminations of six probationary federal workers across various executive branch agencies and departments for 45 days.

Social Security Disability has been crucial to helping disabled people survive in this world. It's not wasteful... unless you consider the disabled unworthy of life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness. Luke 14:12-14

The Trump Administration is targeting federal employees with disabilities by terminating employees still on probation. Schedule A hires face a 2-year probation, double the standard 1-year period for most. #DPoP #Resist #PeopleOverPolitics

Gonna need more non-disabled people to see stuff like this and understand that ableism is also one of the integral -isms the right is devoted to, so it should be jettisoned whenever and in whomever you encounter it

Attention Federal Employees with Disabilities (Current or Former): We want to hear your story! Share how decisions made by President Trump & Elon Musk have impacted you. Whether anonymous or not, your story matters. Reach out to [email protected]

Another bad thing: airlines ask court to overturn (throw out) important rule about safety and fair treatment for #wheelchair users and other passengers with #disabilities. Article about the rule in first comment. www.yahoo.com/news/major-a...

Recent efforts to undermine federal employment will disproportionately harm workers with disabilities. Let’s raise awareness contact Congress and voice your concern about protecting these vital jobs! #DPoP #FederalEmployees

Trump & Musk want us to believe that hiring people with disabilities in the federal government is the problem. They recently blamed a deadly plane crash on DEI efforts, with no evidence. We must push back and continue supporting disability inclusion in federal hiring. #DPoP #DEI #Inclusion#DisCo

DPoP is dedicated to amplifying the voices of people with disabilities. In today's political climate, what do you wish our allies understood and could help elevate? #DisabilityRights #Inclusion #Advocacy #DPoP
