It hasn't gotten enough attention that Trump, Homan, and Duffy have all confirmed there's a plan in the works to have armed ICE agents at airports *tomorrow.* Words fail to describe how stupid this is. Let's hope more people aren't disappeared or killed.
Live in the moment!

There’s a hearing with Judge Immergut at 10 pm tonight. Godspeed to her and democracy!
A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from deploying the National Guard to Portland, Ore., which the president had ordered over the objections of local leaders.
His bravery and wisdom is chronicled in “Ghost Wars” by Stephen Coll. A great book!
Was able to buy it in Rochester NY…time for the pony express?
Mine is tomorrow in New York State at CVS!
Thank you for this information! I here in New York, I thought it was because of the delay in the new formulation. Calling my reps and senators for what it’s worth!

Cultural shift strategy: the right floats an idea designed to stoke outrage ex "ASL interpreters are distracting and using up valuable resources meant for you, our base". Influencers perpetuate the IDEA, it gets media attention, the base buys in. Legislators can pass laws against marginalized people without fear of repercussions framing it as a mandate from their voters or a way to take the resources back to those who "deserve" them
Also want to say a bit about why things like removing accessibility page, ASL, and screen reading capabilities from the White House website matter. It feels performative, and it is. It's a coordinated effort to shift cultural norms.

Week one disability rights watch. What happened?
Removal of the accessibility page and all content in ASL from the White House website. The administration sets the tone for what it does and does not value on its official website.
Executive Order "ending radical and wasteful government DEI programs and spending". this seeks to terminate all DEI related programs and work within the federal government in the text DEI is sometimes written to include accessibility as DEIA
Executive Order "Ending illegal discrimination and Restoring Merit based Order". Expands the reach of Anti-DEIA tasks including investigating private sector businesses that have any DEI or accessibility initiatives
Trying to collect info in one place for folks. Things are moving quickly. The multiply marginalized will be disparately impacted, especially BlPOC, immigrant, and/or queer disabled folks. Here's the round up from week 1.
NEW: The Chairperson for the Council of Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency has sent a letter to the OPP advising they consult White House Counsel on the legality of ousting 17 inspectors general. 👀
I had never heard this. It is awesome!
Went to the article and read a summary and I’d like to ask if the term “acute” means folks driving while acutely ill, although the last sentence about docs reporting impairment seems to suggest *after* the infection is post-acute.
Any insight into this?
