…… unless they are members of Palestine Action or anti-Zionist Jews like my dad, who is being charged for allegedly publicly calling for a protest outside the BBC (he didn’t even actually do it!) www.reuters.com/world/uk/uk-...

Pretty twisted having a weird xenophobic rally using your own damn flag to demonstrate how much you hate migrants.. Like, you supposedly love your flag and country but you're using it as a hate symbol? Where's the genuine passion for your culture in that? Tf

Disabled folks and carers in the UK: Scope is looking for answers (anonymous or named) to some questions on how your MP interacts with you. They're going to meet with MPs and share your responses. Get involved! campaigns.scope.org.uk/page/175807/...

No I don't want "humane" deportations, for the same reason I don't want "friendly" cops in schools or "understanding" genital inspectors at sporting events. The problem is the fascism, not that the fascism is rude.

The Final Delivery Plan for ME/CFS has been released today. The full report was shared with some organisations and media outlets late yesterday. We’re (still) waiting for it to go online. A short 🧵with some thoughts… (1/)

‘Section 28 2.0’: New “transphobic” curriculum restricts teachers from encouraging Trans+ pupils to understand their identity 👇 https://www.wearequeeraf.com/section-28-2-0-new-transphobic-curriculum-restricts-teachers-from-encouraging-trans-pupils-to-understand-their-identity/

As an artist for the Chronic Pain Project I've been asked to participate in their fundraiser Rest & Invest I have a link if you'd like to donate, the money will go towards the cost of exhibitions and funding materials and shipping costs for artists who need it. app.99pledges.com/fund/chronic...

Want to highlight this point: ANYONE taking antihistamines (lots of people are, pollen is very high) is at higher risk of heat-related illness. Please check this thread for advice but make sure you're staying hydrated and keeping as cool as possible

🌡️ UK heatwave set to peak >34°C TODAY The Met Office has issued an amber alert. ⚠️ Heat can kill - especially if you are Clinically Vulnerable. 1/🧵 - 🙏 ♻️

It’s partly because the bill and system is complex, MPs and journos struggled to grasp it. But truthfully, it is largely because PIP cuts are deemed to matter more. Many claimants have jobs! They’re deserving! Click on most news sites and you wouldn’t know there’s a vote tonight.

The ban on Palestine Action: how every MP voted leftfootforward.org/2025/07/pale...

Two bills have passed recently in Parliament: assisted dying and the welfare bill. In neither of the debates did long Covid or clinically vulnerable people get a mention. How can an estimated 409 million with long covid and 3.2 million in the UK not be relevant? Especially when our government is 🧵

So trans women can't give blood because biologically they are female and have female ranges for everything, but the NHS has decided we are legally male and we must meet male ranges in order to donate? I want to scream. The science denial around trans people and biological sex is hurting everyone

Disabled people aren’t the enemy. Trans people aren’t the enemy. Immigrants aren’t the enemy. Stop allowing the fascists to dictate who you’re willing to sacrifice. Refuse to see anyone as expendable. We aren’t safe until everyone is safe.

Ableism is one of the most acceptable forms of bigotry. It’s everywhere. Disabled people are looked down upon by almost all groups in society. Viewed as “useless eaters” and expendable. Most people don’t even consider discrimination against us to be “real” discrimination

After govt's 11th hour 59th minute climbdown over PIP it's time for Reeves to go back to the drawing board and look for fairer and more sensible ways to raise money - like a wealth tax on multi-millionaires and billionaires to raise up to £24bn a year

Wanna see how your MP voted? Here you go. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This poem by Patricia Berne, David Langstaff & Aurora Levins Morales, (from Skin, Tooth, and Bone: The Basis of Movement is Our People, A Disability Justice Primer, pages 55-57) has become sacred to me over this trying year. In particular, I hold these words close, "You, yes you, are irreplaceable!"

Tonight’s huge climbdown is testament to the countless disabled people who have tirelessly fought these cuts. Yes, UC was a loss and there’s more to do on PIP, but let’s not underplay this: a government with a vast majority has been forced to u-turn. Because of the disabled community.

A very hearty fuck you to every MP that voted to balance the books on the backs of disabled people.

With deep sorrow, we share that Sins Invalid’s Co-Founder & Director, Patty Berne, joined the ancestors on May 29, 2025. Patty’s brilliance, love, and vision shaped how we move, care, resist, and imagine. We honor her by continuing the work she led. 🖤 #PattyBerne #SinsInvalid

The Senate just passed the worst Medicaid cuts in history — but we can stop them in the House! We make it easy to take action with scripts and tips. autisticadvocacy.org/2025/07/act-...

If you haven't yet, please write to your MP to oppose the disability benefit reform bill tomorrow. There have been no formal impact assessments on any of the changes, and now they want a two tier system based on the time you apply. #TakingThePIP #WelfareNotWarfare

Every single non-disabled person who is supporting the PIP cuts should be handed a £15k “disability costs” bill each year and asked how they plan on paying it. Because people don’t really need benefits? You’ll be able to find £15k on top of rent, food, utilities and your summer holiday? Right?

You have until midnight to help protect equalities & trans rights following the Supreme Court ruling. Guidance to help you fill it out is linked below. Please, take some time today to protect trans people's right to public life. 🏳️‍⚧️

Last chance to email your MP telling them to vote against disability benefit cuts (Even with the proposed changes, these cuts are trash) campaigns.scope.org.uk/page/173003/...

Zohran Mamdani secured a landslide victory in the New York City mayoral primary despite media and his opposition being intent on trying to drum up controversy over his views on Israel and Palestine, even to the point of sweeping aside candidates’ stances on issues that affect the city.

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

This is a great outcome!!

Harassing GNC cis women isn't a bug of transphobia but a feature. You won't persuade them they're wrong by pointing out that they're gonna hurt the dykes because most of them have wanted to do that for years and are made up they have an excuse.

So still posting today to try to show that there is a big gap in the narrative on #TakingthePIP from the government going unmentioned - 3.1 million with #Longcovid and #Covidisairborne

Young New Yorkers of every class, race and gender. This is truly your time. Come out tomorrow like you never have before and you'll have a much better shot of a future in this city if it's not run by Cuomo. You are needed to counter what Gen X and older are going to do.

This is tomorrow! www.youtube.com/live/4IPfXaf...

First Labour resignation klaxon! Vicky Foxcroft MP has resigned as a government whip in protest at the government’s disability benefits cut plans. Good on her. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I want to see non-disabled people shouting about the disability benefit cuts. If you spoke out about trans rights, abortion rights, or migrant rights in recent weeks? Good on you! If you aren’t doing the same for disabled people, ask yourself why.

This is so important because many I know were threatened with fines and accused of being overly anxious but clinically vulnerable children died and sadly so did clinically vulnerable parents. They were pressured by our government when there were no mitigations in place and many children had no 🧵

Little palette cleanser for the TL 💚

I was hanging up Know Your Rights posters in the neighborhood and had a nice chat w/a guy also flyering (for something else). He hadn't heard that ICE was taking people off the streets without warrants. Talk to your neighbors, if you can. A lot of people don't know what's going on!

If you work with the police during a fascist takeover to target people you see as trouble makers, you are working with fascists and are a threat to us full stop.

Shoutout to Scope for being a fantastic charity providing vital resources like advice and support for Disabled people and their carers. Scope are responding to the government's cruel proposals perfectly, explaining in plain text what they would mean and how to respond to fight back.

Hey journos/other latecomers to HK. I'm a former volunteer ambulance officer and current journo (tear gassed twice this week), and today we're going make some Hotel Room isotonic saline. But first, let's talk about tear gas.

If you're going to take one thing away from this thread: get a squirt bottle, fill it with water. It means you can wash your eyes and those of people around you. If you're just pouring out water, it won't go very far.
