After passing the largest #Medicaid cut in history, the GOP is now trying to pass the most restrictive voter ID law, which would specifically disenfranchise people living in skilled nursing facilities (about 70% of whom rely on Medicaid to fund their care).

You ever have a migraine so bad, you strain a muscle in your neck that you can feel in your face?

Senator Ted Cruz just used an ableist slur on the Senate floor—twice—while arguing for the #SAVEAmericaAct, which will specifically disenfranchise many #disabled voters.

My partner's cat is pretty young, so every now and again we realize he hasn't experienced something, which results in lots of playful speculation and light scheming to make it happen.

Somebody tell Pete Hegseth that mewing doesn't actually work.

My cat is an artist. Unfortunately, her work is heavily influenced by Andy Warhol's oxidation paintings.

@possibleworlds.bsky.social you better eep with one eye open.

When will the Traitors cast all muppets and one human?

On the same day, Scott Presler advocated for passage of the SAVE America Act, announced his campaign for Republican Committee of Beaver County, and committed to holding voter registration drives—which will cease to exist if the SAVE America Act is passed.

The call is coming from inside the locker room.

How about we SAVE AMERICA from this ACT of blatant voter suppression?

You ever experience water pressure in a Hotel shower that is so good it makes you feel guilty?

When will the Traitors cast a muppet?

The House and Senate are voting on the SAVE America Act TODAY. This means that today is a great day to thank Sen. Fetterman for opposing the SAVE Act last year & to encourage him to oppose the SAVE America Act this year!

Apparently the City of #Pittsburgh does not collect data on the state of our sidewalks, crosswalks, and curbcuts. So, I guess our maintenance strategy is just... vibes? Not surprising since the city dumped tons of snow onto curbcuts, trapping #disabled folks in their homes for 2-3 weeks.

the Barbara Kruger mural the chase is happening in front of reads: "WHO IS BEYOND THE LAW? WHO IS BOUGHT AND SOLD? WHO IS FREE TO CHOOSE? WHO DOES THE TIME? WHO FOLLOWS ORDERS? WHO SALUTES LONGEST? WHO PRAYS LOUDEST? WHO DIES FIRST? WHO LAUGHS LAST?"

Yeah, I'll trust the Florida Department of Health when the publish some kind of methodology with their study results and guidance.

Love and respect to the PRT bus driver who got stuck halfway up a hill yesterday, paused for about 30 minutes, and slowly backed down.

Greg Bovino is a fucking bitch.

@coreyoconnorpa.bsky.social could you please follow WCAG and add alt-text to the images on your posts? It's truly WILD when public officials with communications teams ignore the most basic #accessibility standards.

Racial justice activists and community organizers have been talking about the detrimental impacts of overpolicing majority Black neighborhoods in Pittsburgh for decades. And those feelings are based in facts—it actually makes Black people less safe in Pittsburgh.

I'm not saying it doesn't exist, but I've never seen a MoCA Toolkit that uses a picture of a giraffe.

When you're a hater, the real treasure is the enemies you made along the way.

It may seem contradictory that the "food is medicine" crowd (derogatory) cut SNAP benefits, but their reasoning has always been based in shaming/blaming people. It has never been about access to healthy food. It has always been about punishing people for having the gall to live with a #disability.

When I was a D1 student-athlete, I was strictly prohibited from betting on any sport at any level that has an NCAA championship. But members of Congress can trade stocks in the industries that they regulate through the policies they pass.

If you're a worm, I'm a worm.

Why does Kristi Noem look like that?

When I explain gastroparesis to people, my partner likes to lighten the mood by saying "what happens in the vagus nerve stays in the vagus nerve." It's funny because there's a whole framework that suggests the exact opposite, lol.

Is the US Open... golf? Or tennis?

I am BEGGING the person who created yard signs for Dennis Very to check the contrast before submitting another design.

A spending reform by any other name is still a Medicaid cut.

I cannot overstate how much I enjoy it when I'm on a Zoom and the facilitator says "I see we have some new workgroup members joining us today. Mal, what is your cat's name?"

MAHA in a nutshell.

I don't think I'm going to vote for the guy who my college slumlord wants to be the Mayor of Pittsburgh. www.pghcitypaper.com/news/corey-o...

This is the home of the USA Disappeared Tracker Dashboard. DM to let us know of a person to add to the tracker or to volunteer to help!

Its not that using ableist language is "offensive" alone, it is in that using ableist epithets, we normalize the idea that disability is a state of undesirable, laughable inferiority and otherness, and that disabled people deserve to the butt of the joke for some intrinsic reason--its insidious

Why is the first line treatment for gastroparesis girl dinner?

Celebrating my raise with an upper endoscopy, let's fucking gooooo

Medicaid cuts are not an incentive. Disabled people who need assistance to shower or meal preparation need this assistance, whether they're employed or not. In fact, people may need more assistance with these tasks to join the workforce.

False, Pennsylvania has two Republican senators.

Pennsylvania residents should leave a voicemail Senator John Fetterman TONIGHT and urge him to vote NO on the Continuing Resolution and the Cloture. Call now: (202) 224-4254 You will be asked to provide your name and contact information.

WHY ARE THEY IN FIVE GUYS?

there's nothing dignified about boot-licking

Spotted on Fox News: Linda McMahon and Laura Ingram. Competing to for the most coveted title in conservative politics "Least Prepared for Live Interview." Did LM think she would never have to learn what those pesky acronyms mean if she eliminates "the programs for disabled and uh needs?"

You don't realize how much you love to lie down after a meal until you're medically prohibited from doing so.

joke's on you I DID 'go cry about it' and compassion has made me more powerful

What we are witnessing in real time is eugenics. Eugenics is not a historical term or practice. From the sacrificing of high risk people during the on-going COVID pandemic to the attacks on trans people and their right to exist to ethnic cleansing via mass deportations.

The radioactive eggs they give you for a gastric emptying study are the LaCroix of eggs.
