The U.S. Senate is currently considering a budget reconciliation bill that quietly includes language that could devastate our public lands. It would: - Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale - Mandate the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and BLM land

3 critics of proposed cuts to Medicaid in the state budget were arrested Tuesday, June 17 at the Legislative Office Building when they staged a “die-in” at the close of the day’s conference committee on the budget. Read the story here: #handsoffmedicaid ♿️ ⚖️

U.S. v. Skrmetti is about the constitutionality of states banning access to critical medical care that could have nationwide impact on sex-based discrimination by the government.

Adriana Smith did not give birth to a baby. She was used as an incubator, cut open, and a baby was taken out of her lifeless body. A Black woman was used as a science experiment.

“Be gay, do crime” is enough to get me to read the book.

People with disabilities & our allies are being arrested in Concord NH right now for protesting the current NH budget at the NH budget hearing. This budget will harm PWD and Medicaid recipients. ♿️ ⚖️ #disability #medicaid #NHnews @wmur9.bsky.social @nhpr.org www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

My disability eligibility decision was made two decades ago. In that time my disability COL adjustments have increased by <$200/mo. I raised my child in studio & 1/br apts I couldn’t afford when rent was ~$750. The “market rate” for those units has since tripled. This is not a COLA, it’s a JOKE.

The final round of anti-trans youth bills have passed the State House & Senate. Today HB 10 was signed by NH Gov Ayotte. It forces teachers to “out” students to an abusive family, & to tell parents who sexually abuse their child that a child has made a report. Take action. @603equality.bsky.social

How is this real life?

Ableism is everywhere. When you say “only the vulnerable have to worry”… that’s ableism. When you tell someone to “just try harder”… that’s ableism. When you ask if someone has pre-existing conditions? That’s ableism. No social justice without disability justice and inclusion.

Today (May 22nd, 2025) is a cool, drizzly day here in Concord NH as we prepare for this week's House session. A lot of the bad stuff that Republicans are doing at the federal level is being mirrored by their state-level counterparts. Follow along here as I livepost. #NHPolitics

Hi everyone! We've gotten a lot of rain recently, and a lot of our unhoused neighbors have been flooded out of their tents. Weather aside, people are constantly dealing with gear that's wearing out and breaking due to heavy use, being stolen, or being destroyed during sweeps or by hostile neighbors.

So many people have grown up to be the villains of our stories.

Housing is a human right. More affordable housing NOW.

This.

I found this portrait of me on the internet. #cats #mentalhealth #funny

For mental health, more big wood energy please. We need this content on Bluesky to balance out the devastating gut-blows in every news story and political post.

The problem w/ major retailers is they treat human decency like a fad that comes & goes. They didn’t adopt DEI because they’re decent— they adopted it to win your loyalty (your $). The only answer to businesses, small & large, who show you who they are is to spend according to your values. ♿️ 🏳️‍🌈 🍉⚖️ ✊

The stars are going out and the stripes are getting bent.

I don’t know about you but I am feeling some kind of way about this.Take care of yourselves, y’all. #eugenics #disability #chronicillness #autism

Trying to stay a fanciful lil gentleman in the face of such a hard world

To people saying “it’s a temporary ruling,” those people are missing the point. This stay allows the military to IMMEDIATELY begin to let go of soldiers. Those soldiers will need jobs, pay, shelter. And it clearly indicates where SCOTUS is on trans people.

Last month, the NH State House passed a budget with major cuts to services like reproductive health centers, the university + community college systems, + increased costs for some, like proposed premiums on Medicaid. They also passed harmful amendments. Email your state senator to oppose them!

Anti-trans rhetoric hurts all women. If you are against trans women, you are against all women. You are not a feminist.

"Pro-housing advocates offer an analysis of class relations that is more sophisticated and has more explanatory power than the one held by many critics of the “abundance agenda.” - @resnikoff.bsky.social in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/soci...

State organizations that advocate for disabled residents in New Jersey and Arkansas announced that they will have to limit their work after not receiving the full funds they are owed by the US federal government.

Let’s remind them what they owe ✊✊

RFK Jr. wants to create a national registry of people with autism The Admin wants to increase baby supply with a motherhood medal. Trump wants to deport US citizens to a third world gulag. They formed an Anti-Christian Bias Task Force to prosecute people for speech. Does this sound familiar?
