It’s been a few days since Trump ordered a missile attack on Nigeria, calling it a “Christmas gift.” It hits close to home because I’m Nigerian American. I'm tired of this Administration. They are twisted, and the bombing was white supremacist violence by a wannabe dictator. 🤬

It’s my birthday! I have the biggest smile on my face and gratitude in my heart for making it to 35 years old. 🎉🎂🎊

A disabled bedbound man has suddenly lost his full time caregiver because ICE took him away. There can be no social justice with disability justice. This is cruel & unusual punishment for father and son. Our caregivers are an extension of us. Many disabled people die without support

Karma knows your address.

This has impeccable "It'd be a shame if you wrecked some homes" energy.

Every ten minutes. Let that sink in. Women are killed every ten minutes by intimate partners or family members. This is why we call out misogyny and patriarchal values. This is why the President shouldn’t get away with calling female reporters “pigs” Enough.

I love Christmas time! I’m reliving my childhood and watching Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. There are so many disability themes in it. Your differences make you unique, being a misfit, socially excluded, encouraged to hide your differences to get a job, bullying, and shaming. 🎄🤶🏿 🎁

Merry Christmas! Michelle and I hope you have a wonderful holiday filled with light and joy.

Ppl wanna keep building homes to solve the housing crisis. ENOUGH HOUSING ALREADY EXISTS. ENOUGH EMPTY BUILDINGS ALREADY EXIST. Make it AFFORDABLE. ACCESSIBLE.

Hoping, wishing, and praying they discharge me tomorrow so this hospital food doesn’t have to be my Thanksgiving dinner. 🙏🏾 I’d rather be with my family. ♥️ #cancer #cancersucks #hospital #thanksgiving

He’s not lying lol

A sitting president shouting that people should be jailed for telling the military to follow the law. You can hear the panic in every capital letter.

Silence is complicity. Trump calls a woman “piggy”? Speak up. He calls for the murder of his political opponents? Speak up. The right starts trying to downplay pedophilia? Starts calling children “barely legal” women? Speak up. ICE brutalizes someone? Speak up. We all have a voice. Use it.

Christmas shopping is now done for the hubby...

The day after an infusion is so exhausting. I've been in bed all day. It feels like I got hit by a car.

Why do we even have senate confirmation hearings?

I’m diabetic and couldn’t get it for months because everyone else was using it.

It's Black Lives Matter until that Black person is disabled or chronically ill.

We Thank You , Alice 🌻 "To me, disability is not a monolith, nor is it a clear-cut binary of disabled and nondisabled. Disability is mutable and ever-evolving. Disability is both apparent and nonapparent. Disability is pain, struggle, brilliance, abundance, and joy"

How many years until Walgreens liquidates totally?

As a long-time admirer of Alice Wong, I’m heartbroken and a bit shaken by her passing. 😢💔 You never think your heroes are going to die, and she was truly a Wonder Woman here on Earth. Alice, you will forever be missed and loved by me and countless others. Rest in power!

So true.

Losing Tinu last year and now Alice. I am heartbroken. There's been way too much loss in the disability community. So many people are now gone. Too many to list. Both Tinu and Alice both helped shape the person I am today. I wouldn't be alive without their help & support.

It's wrong because it's harm. It's harm because it's trauma. It's trauma because it's nonconsensual. It's nonconsensual because it's forced. Even if it wasn't physically forced it's still nonconsensual as the brain's decisionmaking part is not fully developed til mid to late 20's much less teen age.

Six former Amazon employees explain exactly how the layoffs happened, what they did next, and their career plans amid a challenging job market.

He might as well be saying only people who deserve it get it. Sounds like the typical republican life story of "I didn't care until it happened to me".

This isn’t new. When Nikki Glaser hosted the Golden Globes, she made jokes about serial rapist and abuser Diddy. Nikki found humor in the fact that R. Kelly is a pedophile. She wouldn't do this to Harvey Weinstein victims. White women rape victims are seen as more worthy of humanity and respect.

We’re not doing “disability accommodations are unnecessary and unfair actually” discourse less than 24 hours after Alice Wong has passed. Absolutely the fuck not, even if it is a perfect example of the kind of shit disabled people have to deal with and why Alice’s activism was and is so necessary.

Idk what she said or what racist context you need for Nikki Glaser's joke to be funny but uh, white people need to shut the fuck up and not joke about raping Native women.

You were incredible, Alice Wong, and it was a blessing to have collaborated with you on projects, to have read your words and to have heard your voice, as full of life and passion and joy and rage as it was. You made a difference—so much of a difference. Rest always in peace, and always in power.

What a privilege it is to be a younger disabled person in a community shaped by Alice Wong. Rest in peace, Alice.

‘Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.’ —Alice Wong

I can’t sleep. The passing of Alice has gotten to me. What a light she was.

Trump will force everyone on SNAP to reapply to cut fraud. I was BORN A QUADRIPLEGIC. America has been forcing me to prove my disability every 6-12 months since 1982 to keep my Social Security, Medicaid, and SNAP! Cases of fraud are under 3%! This will only create more work for everyone!

People don't understand cancer at all. It's why you have so many people on the internet saying we need to fund more cancer research because we should have found a cure by now, not realizing that there are MANY different types of cancers, all caused by different things and act different in people

He’s never heard of toddlers with cancer? Student athletes get cancer too. What bubble has he been living in?

Elite rich white men wrote THE CONSTITUTION It didn’t include the rights of women blacks natives or the poor Yet EVEN NOW Americans call on it use it as an excuse yet never read it & still talking shit about it as if it’s going to save them🤷‍♀️ FOUNDING PEOPLE can write a real better CONSTITUTION 🫰

Was not Mrs. Kelly one of the women who was sexually assaulted by the Fox News dude? You would think. . .

This wouldn’t apply to this situation specifically. Modern medicine still supports the same ableist beliefs that James Van Der Beek held, which delayed his diagnosis. How often do doctors attribute poor diet and sedentary lifestyle to cancer and just tell their patients to lose weight and exercise?

Celebrities who struggle to pay for medical or cancer treatment are not the same as the average American cancer patient who faces financial hardship. It’s time to stop the comparison, as they are still the privileged class.

"This isn't the America I know." Black people:

Though I feel for James Van Der Beek, he is struggling to pay for cancer treatment, partly due to his own ableism. He thought he could treat his colon cancer symptoms w/ diet changes, only ppl w/ sedentary lifestyles get cancer, and he's married to an anti-vaccine “health and wellness influencer.”

Folks are only offended bc Megyn Kelly was talking about white teenage girls. We saw Megyn Kelly say an innocent 15-year-old Black teenage girl, Dajerria Becton, kneed in the back by a racist white cop was “no saint either.” Where was the outrage then? Megyn was rewarded with an NBC talk show.

Today, Oklahoma is set to execute Tremane Wood even though a state panel recommended his life is spared
