Mark Peterson’s black-and-white images of ICE agents evoke film noir and the urban-crime photography of the 1930s and ’40s. “If someone is doing everything right, and then they still get detained, it’s a crime scene,” he said.

"Depart from me, you who are cursed... For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me." - Jesus

Here are scripts for opposing the #Trump EO that seeks to forcibly institutionalize mentally ill and neurodiverse ppl, as well as imprison homeless ppl. Putting ppl in cages will NOT solve homelessness, make us safer, or help ppl get help. It's esp telling that the EO defunds data-backed solutions.

Lots of heartbreaking stuff the past 6 yrs as covid denialism has fast tracked a resurgence of eugenics & a new era of fascism, but some of the worst of this has been watching ppl who've shaped my own political education & whom I look up to, refusing to engage w denialism or Disability Justice

My Fellow Disabled Folks. This is our legacy. We: Broke sidewalks to install curbs so we could leave their homes. Fought the Ugly Laws. Slept in dirty offices to get equal access. Crawled up marble to demand the ADA. We are powerful together, & we must fight the attacks on our right to exist freely.

I'm so grateful for my safe home, loving spouse, full fridge, & healthy kids. But it feels like I'm on a tightrope with no net. Below, the crying others who are just like me but had no tightrope or fell with a gust of unpredictable wind. I didn't earn my blessings; they don't deserve their suffering

@pelosi.house.gov I think you've forgotten how that bill and other #disability laws passed. We crawled up the Capitol to get your attention, we slept on floors occupying your offices for 25 days, we risked everything for a more inclusive future. And you let that bill pass with barely a whisper. #ADA

lol

One reason so many American hospitals are struggling? Investors buy them up, then suck them dry, charging such high rents that services are gutted. Reveal explores what happened to one Louisiana hospital when Medical Properties Trust came to town. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

After Trump’s reality-free spectacle in Scotland: “Wow. I’m not going to say any more words until my executive producer puts on the banner next to me, ‘that was bat poop crazy.’” — @velshi.com Then he calmly fact-checks the lies.

“If I earned enough at my various #jobs to pay rent and buy groceries, I made too much money to be eligible for #Medicaid. If I wasn’t #homeless and hungry, I was too rich for assistance.”: buff.ly/spMoDZg by @2heartcore4u.bsky.social #disability #NEisVoid

This is what you voted for⁉️ Detainees treated like violent criminals. Moved from cage to cage at 3 a.m. and sleep-deprived. Only 3 minutes to eat. Bathrooms three times a week. No towel to dry off after a shower and growing fungus on their bodies. Listen to this once. Then listen to it again.

You know they won't stop with us. They use us to carve the path so anyone can be stripped of rights, liberty, & even life. Being gay was once a disability. So was being a female w/feelings (hysteria). They are trialing "Trump Derangement Syndrome" rn. Fight while you can. #DisabilityRights #disabled

There's a reason Mental Institutions are the setting of so many horror films. Patients were/are stripped of rights, experimented on, & murdered. #Trump brings that horror back w/his EO that seeks to criminalize homeless ppl & end protections stopping wrongfull commitments #DisabilityRights #disabled

#Immigrants and #Migrant Workers are the backbone of our food supply chain. Already, #farm crops are dying in the field bc of a Trump-caused labor shortage. #Groceries will go up and, if this continues, we may have a full-blown food shortage. #Trump seems to have no plan to address the crisis. 1/3

It's been a while but I'm back. Personal life stuff; plus I wanted to reflect on how to be productive with advocacy. I don't have answers but we must do more than post info. Today- I'm demanding Congress conduct oversight in Florida. Please help. #AligatorAlcatraz #ConcentrationCamp #Florida

Send this to everyone. The whole world needs to know what is happening at the Florida detention camp. Ask them how these reports are different from journal entries from Alcatraz? #AligatorAlcatraz #ConcentrationCamp

Important info on research on Long Covid which still, FYI, is disabling ppl.

#MyDisabledLifeIsWorthy we are not a sacrifice for your national budget cuts

We will March. May Day.

Quick Basic #History: The Alien and Sedition Acts, pushed through by John Adams, were very controversial then, leading to an arrested congressman. All of them lwere repealed except the #AlienEnemiesAct, last used to jail my family & other #Japanese ppl. We said it was wrong but we're doing it again.

Check your kids’ devices to make sure they’re not in a Signal chat with Pete Hegseth. Talk to them about the dangers of sharing national security secrets online.

A WH official confirmed today that President Trump plans to overhaul the Endangered Species Act to make it easier to build in the U.S. where endangered species live. A proposed rule would eliminate habitat protections by changing the definition of "harm" to listed species.

Fight for us now or suffer with us later. #Disabled ppl are fighting for your future. We are making sure your kid gets to have an #education. We are fighting so you have access to #healthcare, #jobs, #housing, and public spaces. Your quality of life is our battle. Stop getting in your own way.

Felt. I've done a lot this week. And right now I'm absolutely dead and will probably be dead for the next couple days. The #disability tax means every activity is an abled person's surprise marathon.

Van Hollen on Fox News Sunday: "My whole point here is if you deprive one man of his constitutional rights, you threaten the constitutional rights of everybody ... if you threaten the rule of law for one person, you threaten if for everybody in America."

9 of the 10 States that rely the most on #federal funding- they get more funding than they pay in taxes- are heavily #GOP. It will be up to us to create clear messaging that ties the inadequate response to disasters and social problems to GOP governance and the #Trump & #Musk #DOGE administration.

#MUSK #DOGE: We must cut all these agencies bc they don't do much + we can automate. Also #MUSK #DOGE: Let's make ppl manually approve every payment and get rid of reliable automation now that we've cut most #FedEmployees. It would be funny if it wasn't real life. #disabled #healthcare #AltFed

His student visa was suddenly revoked but he wasn’t notified—“they don’t want ICE to lose the advantage of surprise” (!!!)—and four days later he was arrested at the hospital where he works.

#Autistic people are married, have kids, work full-time, are athletes, have multiple degrees, travel the world, & enjoy full lives. I know bc I'm all of these things. Even if I wasn't, even if I couldn't use a toilet, my life would still be valuable. #RFKJR is a eugenicist. #MyDisabledLifeIsWorthy

Texas measles outbreak update today 597 cases (36 more since Tuesday) 63 are or have been hospitalized And efforts toward control are being hurt by funding cuts www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/... www.dshs.texas.gov/news-alerts/...

It can feel like there's no way to #resist this but remember that #GOP fears are based on Trump supporters. Our resistance is equally powerful. IMO, reps fear being primaried/losing office more than personal safety. We must push against that fear and build up alt candidates that hammer them daily.

Senator Van Hollen is a hero.

Of all the things going on right now, this is the thing to pay the most attention to. It is illegal to send American Citizens here, but they want to use these places to scare, silence, and disappear those who object to Trump's agenda. #ElSalvador

No news publication should call El Salvador safe. It's not safe. 1 in 60 is an impossible crime number and means many innocent people are jailed. 1 in 60 means the people are ever in danger of government retaliation. El Salvador has replaced one bully- gangs- for another- a ruthless dictator.

#Ohio #Women and #Disabled ppl- pay attention! Doctors are required to identify any indication of #DownSyndrome in the fetus, in addition to reporting significant private info on any woman receiving an abortion. It sounds like disabled driven abortions will be justified? 🤢

#RFKJR could build something instead of attacking #vaccines and cutting services for #disabled people and kids. He believes healthy lifestyles create strong immune systems. Build gov sponsored gyms w/ nutrition classes & physical therapy. Get Congress to supplement healthy crops to bring down cost..

We’ve seen what happens when vaccination efforts are underfunded. 📞 Use 5calls.org to quickly contact your representatives—it gives you scripts and tracks key issues. Speak up. Support public health. Protect VFC and the kids who depend on it. #VaccinesWork #ProtectKids

Make plans to be there. The more we show up, the more we empower our reps and officials to address the issues with this administration. #Resist #Protest

#Disabled folks are hit again. The #Trump administration has a profound disregard for disabled lives. #HHS #RFKJR tells ppl that only weak ppl die and justifies our deaths. #Musk #DOGE is continually cutting the programs that help us survive. These small programs help us live and work independently.

The man tapped by RFK to run a trial looking to tie vaccines to autism has been charged with practicing medicine without a license, giving autistic children a dangerous drug not approved for use in the U.S. and improperly prescribing puberty blockers #BlueSky #MedSky www.yahoo.com/news/head-rf...

Public health is not a partisan issue. The dismissal this week of 2,400 CDC workers—including the entire Lead Poisoning Prevention Branch—jeopardizes public safety and health. Thank you to the dedicated public servants who do this hard work even when under attack by critics. #PublicHealthWeek

Every single one must have a primary challenger. They are aiding the destruction of our institutions, the removal of legal immigrants via the deportation system, & the obliteration of our economy. Say no to Trump until he addresses these problems. That's the game plan. Make it harder to destroy us.

there is simply no amount of child death that will move RFK to change his mind because he is a predatory narcissist who cares less about health than the gratification of his own ego

#Disabled ppl already have to choose between #medicine or food. #Tariffs will skyrocket meds. Ppl will die. #Hospitals will have far more patients who are suffering from lack of meds, putting more pressure on a very stressed system. #Trump policy is ignorant, bad for Americans, & cruel. #healthcare

#RFKJR belief in fake science is one horrible thing, but this is just straightforward incompetence. #Lead pipes exist all over the country which #Biden had addressed with his EPA rule and $2.6 billion to replace them. But RFK has fired the #CDC lead program and we have to worry about lead poisoning.

When #TikTok was banned, we moved to another space. The best part of that was watching the international exchange between Chinese and American users. So many realized, in that moment, that Americans were worse off than most middle-class folk overseas.
