They seized her seizure medications!?!?!?!!?

And it's wild to deal with people who act like you're negative because symptoms of the conditions you live with affect you.

Strive to find Joy in each day. It's a way to practice self care. When we take care of ourselves, we can better take care of others. The more spoons we can hold together, the better we can organize and make some noise and good trouble. #NowWhatDoIDo?

How easy is it to call congress if you are #Deaf? I love following @metrauxjulia.bsky.social We need to stick together and inform each other.

The possibility of abduction by a sovereign and imprisonment abroad is one criterion that separates democracies from dictatorships. The Declaration of Independence called the British king tyrannical for transporting Americans, “beyond Seas to be tried for pretended Offenses.”

🤟 fantastic article also TIL proxy calling for advocacy

This is one of my daily "go into disassociation" reads about how callous and harmful people can be when they open their mouths. #RFKjr needs to watch the documentary #PatriceTheMovie on #Hulu or #Disney+. There you will meet Elizabeth, whose value is worth a million in friendship and educating us.

You can’t make this crap up

The UK is the canary in the coal mine for the disabled in the US.

Chilling. No regard for the courts.

Good news! My blood pressure is where it needs to be and I’ve lost 3 pounds!

Giving props to @dredf.bsky.social Watch Change not Charity: the Americans With Disabilities Act on PBS tonight. Part of the American experience series. DREDF play a huge role in getting the. #ADA passed. Learn about many of the people behind this life changing piece of legislation.

"Out of sight, out of mind ..." When this practice becomes policy, #disability communities die. Watch, listen, learn, share. Honor #disabled pioneers who came before, so the Next Gen can learn from past mistakes #ChangeNotCharity 3/25 on @amexperiencepbs.bsky.social, dir by @jimlebrecht.bsky.social

When the fabulous @timgrayglobes.bsky.social posts such nice things about you, you have to repost. Tim has been a wonderful ally of the disabled.

I’m reading up on what to do. I believe that multiple strategies for pushing back are needed. Look to history to see what is worked in the past, but look to those today on social media to give you a wider perspective.

If I may offer some advice: Let go of preconceived notions of what “rising up” should look like. Don’t overly focus on a big march in DC. Recognize that we’re already seeing significant pushback, it’s just not conforming to what we imagined it would look like. Be open to new ways of doing things.

“I did not put my life on the line for some tech bro billionaire from South Africa to come in here and try to destroy our country...” www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

This is what our country is doing to people. It’s worse than any drama I’ve seen. We used to welcome the tired, the sick, those yearning for freedom. I didn’t vote for the creep that separated children from their parents. This is how We’ll treat citizens who don’t support the president.

They will never be forgotten Donald, no matter how hard you try.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

Fascists want us divided, uninformed and sick. A sick, apathetic population won’t put up much of a fight. Protect your health. Read local independent journalists. Support libraries, community fridges & food banks. Give to mutual aid. Wear a mask. Strong inclusive communities will save lives

I’m hoping that when people watch this film that they get energized to make sure that we don’t lose these hard one rights and accessibility to lives that everyone else takes for granted. I co-directed Crip Camp with @nicolenewnham.bsky.social

This is a great excuse & opportunity to screen one of the best documentaries ever made, that also happens to feature Heumann and all she stands for CRIP CAMP (2020) directed by the talented @jimlebrecht.bsky.social

In an executive order issued just after midnight, the Trump Administration announced that they are cutting the number of wheels on medicare subsidized wheelchairs down 75% to just one.

Giving a signal boost for this trans hotline.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general. If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

Do you forget to use alt-text when you post images? I'm forgetful, too. Fortunately, you can turn on reminders! Settings -> Accesibility -> Require alt text. Done! Easy accessibility.

This is the truth right here.

Here it comes. The dismantling of 504.

Figured it was a good t-shirt to wear today #StandWithUkraine

1000 probationary Department of Veterans Affairs employees fired. OIT, Procurement, and Veterans Benefits Administration. They are lying and saying it won’t affect support for veterans. news.va.gov/press-room/v...

Stop treating disabled people as invisible. We make up a huge percentage of the population & our numbers are growing We saw this political shit show coming & tried to warn you Even now we’re the proverbial canaries begging folks to fight back… but no one sees us. They don’t hear us. We don’t count

ASL interpreters who work in the arts (concerts, opera, theatre, etc) deserve to be valued as artists too. it takes so much skill to be this good at capturing the FEEL of music beyond just translating the meaning of the text and it’s an invaluable accessibility service

Alt text is very important. Add it to your graphics and photos. Why deny a cross section of our society the benefit of your wisdom?

More of this, America.

This Super Bowl Sunday, here's a reminder of what real courage looks like.

The Chiefs can still be named Super Bowl champions if Mike Pence has the courage.

Whole Foods, which is owned by notorious union-buster Amazon, is arguing that Trump's dismantling of the NLRB means the company doesn't have to recognize a newly unionized store in Philadelphia. Looks like Jeff Bezos's investment in Trump is paying off.

This is the fear and plausible.

Republicans have been ordered by their billionaire Puppet Master to end Medicare as we know it. Democrats have 215 members in the House who can stop this extreme effort. All we need is three House Republicans to join us.

Living independently saves the government and society money. And the intent of the ADA was to allow us greater access to think that everybody else takes for granted. As far as I’ve been told, they cannot repeal the #ADA but I worry that the DOJ will no longer enforce the law when people violate it.

Yet another thing that they've done that is beyond cruel and disgusting. Did I mention bone-headed?

We need more of this every day. With cameras. Live feeds. Be unrelentless.

Yes coz when all the kids have polio, you won't care about the autism...
