Yesterday, we gathered in Sacramento, LA and virtually with our LTSS4All Grassroots Coalition partners for our Final Budget Action. #ProtectMediCal 🧵 www.abc10.com/video/news/l...

Warning ⚠️ ICE has reportedly detained more than 10,000 people in the past five days as part of a nationwide enforcement surge.

Disability Pride Month started with a fight — and we're not done fighting! 💪 #DisabilityPrideMonth 🧵 1/7

The new Medicaid work requirement rules not only create confusion but they, “will create unnecessary bureaucracy and lead people who are either already working or eligible for an exclusion to lose or be denied coverage.” States are fighting back. #ProtectMedicaid www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

A new factsheet from DREDF, @transequality.bsky.social & @disabilityrightsca.bsky.social  explains how Section 504, the ADA, and IDEA can help protect students from discrimination, secure accommodations, and support access to education. Read more: https://dredf.org/trans-students-fact-sheet/

This week’s Supreme Court decisions on TPS and asylum will affect immigrant communities, including disabled immigrants, care workers, families, and people seeking safety. AAPD is in solidarity with everyone affected by these decisions. https://ow.ly/NuKL50ZhK0C

We stand now and always with our LGBTQ+ community and with affirming trans youth. 🏳️‍⚧️ #ProtectTransKids

#CABudget update: The final budget agreement was a WIN for #OurHealthOurFuture, a WIN for #Health4All, and a WIN for immigrant communities across the state who fought back against cruel cuts to health care that millions of Californians depend on. 🧵

The Constitution held. We have birthright citizenship. Today, we breathe a sigh of relief. The Supreme Court has affirmed what the 14th Amendment has guaranteed for over 150 years: every child born on U.S. soil is an American citizen — full stop. 🧵 1/6 #SCOTUS #ImmigrantRights

Still reckoning with the DOJ memo threatening the rights afforded by the Olmstead decision — rights that allow disabled people to live & thrive in their communities. We will continue to fight for the care & support they need to live & thrive within their communities. 🧵 www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

ICE & Border Patrol now have ≈8x their usual annual funding. That's almost $70 billion with no guardrails, no basic civil rights protections, and no mechanisms for accountability from Congress. NILC's VP of Policy Heidi Altman breaks down what's in the bill ⤵️ https://bit.ly/4uRj58T

"Siomara Umana, supervising immigration attorney at Make the Road New York said the court’s decision is 'a devastating blow to the 1.3 million mothers, fathers, neighbors, coworkers, and friends living with Temporary Protected Status who have made their lives in this country.'”

This is a huge win for disabled people, older adults and anyone that relies on voting my mail! 💪 #ICareIVote

As we await a potential decision today from #SCOTUS on birthright citizenship, here is some important information on last week's TPS ruling. We keep us safe. Keep calling Congress: 202-224-3121. Demand a pathway to citizenship NOW! Defund ICE. Fund Care. 🗣️ borderlessmag.org/2026/06/25/s...

LGBTQ+ equality was hard-won and is still fragile. And for LGBTQ+ people of color, the injustices of racism compound the harm, especially amid political efforts to control bodily autonomy, including reproductive rights and gender identity. Read more: https://bit.ly/4apWk4N

“I am not going to let this administration move us back to a time when people were ripped out of their communities, ripped out of their homes,” @duckworth.senate.gov told Mother Jones. @juliametraux.bsky.social spoke with the senator about her plans to fight back.

In additon to leaving 1.3M of iur neighbors without peotections, #SCOTUS also ruled to block astlum seekers from entering the U.S. via the souther border. We will not be silent. We will continue to work to protect our neigbors & make our homes sanctuary homes. www.commondreams.org/news/sotomay...

#Breaking -- Today, #SCOTUS turned its back on 1.3 million of our neighbors. This court ruling can't undo decades of lives built here. 1.3 million TPS holders belong to this country as much as it belongs to them. Congress must do what the Court wouldn't: offer permanent protections now! 🧡

Today's #SCOTUS decision strips protections from 1.3M of our neighbors, leaving them vulnerable to mass deportation. We stand with our immigrant communities: Congress must offer a permanent pathway to citizenship for the millions of families who have built a life here. Call TODAY: 202-224-3121 🚨

🚨 SCOTUS Ruling Terminates TPS, Expediting the Deportation of Over 40,000 NYers "Today’s decision undermines both our obligations to those fleeing for their lives and undermines the safeguards Congress established to protect them." Murad Awawdeh nyic.org/press

"Medicaid work requirements are already projected to strip coverage from more than 5 million people by 2034." We'll keep saying it: #ProtectMedicaid 🗣️ www.statnews.com/2026/06/23/m...

At least 200 labor activists, union members, and community activists rallied outside of Delaney Hall in Newark, New Jersey, on Father’s Day to show solidarity with the parents detained in Delaney Hall and their families.

More than half of the U.S. Men's National Team holds dual citizenship, and many players are the children of immigrants. Their stories reflect a long tradition of immigrants helping make American sports — and America itself — stronger. ⚽ @tusk81.bsky.social

Inclusive settings is still a requirement under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The DOJ memo provides what they think is a legal argument against it. That means communities must push states and politicians to ensure they protect this essential pilar of the ADA.

We cannot sit idly by as they try to errode our voting rights. “People with disabilities and older adults will be disproportionately harmed by any policy that makes voting by mail more difficult.” Join us in taking action with our partners at @aapd.com 👇 www.nytimes.com/2026/06/11/u...

Today marks the 27th anniversary of the Olmstead decision, a landmark Supreme Court case that affirmed the rights of people with disabilities to live and age in their homes and communities. An #Olmstead2026 thread. 🧵

The Justice Department is trying to undermine hard-won protections that guard disabled people’s right to live in community instead of institutions. This doesn’t change the law or our rights. We won't stop fighting for disabled people’s right to participate in community and civic life.

#Juneteenth 1865: the last enslaved people in Galveston, TX learned they were free — 2½ years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Justice is slow. But we keep fighting. Black domestic workers built this care economy. Undervalued. Underpaid. Still here. We celebrate their legacy. ✊

Join us NEXT Monday! #ProtectMediCal

Father’s Day should be about family. Instead, far too many immigrant fathers are spending it separated from their children by detention, deportation, and policies that tear families apart. No parent should have to celebrate Father’s Day from afar.

“Disability advocates say these actions are straining a home care industry already at its breaking point” These false narratives are going to cost lives and put a strain on families already affected by federal cuts. #ProtectMedicaid NOW! www.statnews.com/2026/06/15/m...

“[T]he requirements go farther than many states had expected and may result in more Medicaid recipients losing their health care coverage.” #ProtectMedicaid

The pro-immigrant provisions passed by the legislature this year are significant. But lawmakers missed a critical opportunity to further safeguard immigrants from Trump’s mass deportation machine, which causes more devastation every day. They should be under no illusion that their work is done.

World Cup is here — and so is increased ICE presence at games. Instead of panic, let's use this moment to build real safety with immigrant workers, neighbors, and each other. ⚽ That's why we're preparing! 🧵 1/3 #NoICEInTheCup #HandsOffOurCopa @horizonsprjt.bsky.social @handsoffnyc.bsky.social

The World Cup should be a celebration, not a source of fear. Immigrant families deserve to enjoy the beautiful game without worrying about detention, deportation, or family separation. No ICE in the Cup. ⚽️

On June 16th, we celebrate International Domestic Workers Day. Behind every clean home is a woman with her own story. Maru and her compañeras from the San Fernando Valley share theirs. 🧡 This #ImmigrantHeritageMonth we honor the women whose hands hold CA's homes. 🦋 #SomosCHIRLA

Domestic workers are protected from discrimination, harassment, and retaliation at work, under the NYC Human Rights Law. Learn more: www.nyc.gov/site/cchr/me... #DomesticWorkers #DomesticWorkersRights

Nearly half of the U.S. World Cup roster has immigrant or diasporic roots. From the neighborhoods they grew up in to the countries their families came from, their stories reflect the diversity that has always defined America. Immigration is part of our national team. ⚽️🇺🇸

Domestic workers are on the frontlines of the care crisis. They deserve dignity, respect, and full recognition regardless of immigration status. We need well‑paid, protected care jobs, not exploitation or isolation. Full recognition can't wait another moment. #InternationalDomesticWorkersDay

ICYMI: Our response to the #CALeg budget plan was picked up in the @sacbee.com. As our Executive Director says, we are "looking forward to working with (lawmakers next year) on ensuring that these are not just temporary delays... but a permanent reinstatement of health care access."

14 years ago, DACA was born out of courage and determination. When everyone said it was impossible, it was immigrant youth who refused to be ignored. Today, we're back to demand a pathway to citizenship for all. ✍️ Send a letter to Congress: https://unitedwedre.am/14YearsDACA_HIH

“Medi-Cal cuts cause disabled rage.” Today, CA’s legislature is expected to vote on the future of tens of thousands of disabled, older, & immigrant Californians. As we wait, we continue to fight. 💪 #ProtectMediCal #DisabilityJustice

The World Cup is here and with it comes the increased fear of a greater ICE presence in our communities. We're saying #NoICEInTheCup and #HandsOffOurCopa! We're all getting ready to protect each other! 💪 wagingnonviolence.org/2026/06/ice-...

CMS' new work requirements threaten the health, safety, and independence of the millions of people with disabilities who rely on Medicaid. AAPD is working hard to educate our community about these new requirements and how to prepare for them. Learn more here: www.aapd.com/medicaid-wor...

Tom Homan can make all the threats he wants. We will never sell out our immigrant friends, neighbors, and loved ones. New York is immigrant strong.

““I would end up in the emergency room by the end of the day… And then in a nursing home.” There’s still time to NOT make these cuts happen — and we’ll keep fighting! #ProtectMediCal #ProtectMedicaid www.dailynews.com/2026/06/05/n...

Congress Just Handed ICE $70 Billion More. Our statement: Yesterday, Congress passed an additional $70 Billion in funding that will be used to further terrorize immigrant communities... #FundCareNotICE 🧵 1/8

“Families should not have to wonder every budget season whether the support they rely on will be taken away... These services should not be treated as bargaining chips in budget negotiations.” THIS 👆 And as Elena reminds us: Not on our backs! #ProtectMediCal www.latimes.com/california/s...
