I am excited about hosting this episode.

The image is a square poster with a light purple background. The text on the poster is black, bold, and in a large font. The text reads: "Tell You No Lie is a bimonthly livestream program on Substack about disability culture. The next episode airs on Friday, April 24th, at 7 PM Eastern Time."

A light purple square background has the following text in bold black font: “This is our Autism Acceptance Month 2-hour special livestream episode. Our guests are Carolyn Kiel, Charlotte Bachelor, Amanda Ranochak, Jasmine Thomas, Democratic US Senate Candidate for OK, and T.J. Gordon.”

A light purple background displays the text "By subscribing to Nothing About Us Without Us, you can watch the episode live, and paid subscribers can watch the video on demand." The text is written in a large, bold, sans-serif font, making it easy to read. The alignment is centered, giving the text a balanced and symmetrical appearance on the light purple background. The simple background ensures the focus remains on the message of the text.

The image is a light purple background with bold, dark purple text. The text says, "We are also livestreaming the 2-hour Autism Acceptance Month special episode on the Disability Community for Democracy YouTube Page. However, on demand access will only be available to Nothing About Us Without Us paid subscribers." The overall tone is informative, announcing a livestream event and its access conditions.

Save-The-Date: Tell You No Lie is on Fri, April 24th. It is our 2-hour special episode for Autism Acceptance Month. These are the guests by order of appearance: Carolyn Kiel, Charlotte Bachelor, Amanda Ranochak, Jasmine Thomas, Democratic US Senate Candidate for OK, and T.J. Gordon. #DisabilitySky

A text-based message states that a dangerous budget, approved by the House and Senate, is anticipated to be signed by the current occupant tomorrow. Without actions from state and local governments to mitigate the impact, seventeen million people will lose access to healthcare. Further updates on next steps will be provided by the Leadership Team of Disability Community for Democracy. A logo for Disability Community for Democracy, Inc. is present.

We will remember who stood with the disability community by voting against this dangerous budget. We will also not forget who voted for this dangerous budget, which steals life-saving benefits from the disability community to pay for tax cuts during Disability Pride Month! #DisabilitySky

The image is a public service announcement urging viewers to call their member of the House to vote against the budget to protect Medicaid and Medicare. The text is in bold, purple font. A phone number, 202-224-3121, is below the call to action. The background features a man in a wheelchair. He is wearing a light blue shirt and gray pants. He is smiling and talking on a cell phone. Behind him are several round, gray spheres. The background is slightly blurred.

The US Senate voted for this Big BS Budget earlier today. We need to call our members of the House to let them know that they need to vote NO! The number to the Capitol Switchboard is 202-224-3121. #HandOffMedicaid #HandOffMedicare

State of the People | A Nationwide Call to Action The State of the People is a nationwide call to action; a movement to rally, restore, & reimagine possibilities for Black communities

The image contains a statement from the Disability Community for Democracy, Inc. It advocates for upholding the rule of law and against taking individuals off the streets without due process. The statement emphasizes that this is not about left versus right, but about right versus wrong. It highlights the importance of protecting marginalized groups, including those with disabilities, from being denied due process. The message encourages everyone to speak out against injustice, regardless of their political stance, as it is a matter of collective safety and well-being.

Speak out with peaceful protests against this latest government action in Los Angeles. A formal statement from our CEO and Founder is coming soon. #DisabilityJustice #TheRuleOfLaw #DueProcess #Immigrants
