If you needed confirmation that white supremacy is integral to the American project, it's this--people of color, women, queer people and disabled folks had *some* rights for a hot minute, and and the patriarchy has decided it's better to fully cancel America than to do equality.

We need to move away from performative inclusion allyship and shift toward collaborative language accessibility.

I'm done with terms like "inclusion" and "Universal Design for Learning (UDL).

Thanks for welcome!

Thrust into unemployment, axed federal workers face relatives who celebrate their firing Scrambling to replace their health insurance and to find new work, some fired federal workers are running into another unexpected unpleasantry: Relatives cheering their job loss.

The nature of a cult is that it will turn you against your own family. Your loved ones will cheer as you are led off to the camps because hurting even you is what is necessary to bring on the glorious nation. apnews.com/article/trum...

U.S. Senator Marco Rubio shakes hands with Botswana’s President, Duma Boko, in a formal setting. The two men stand in front of their respective national flags—Botswana's flag on the left and the U.S. flag on the right. The room has elegant decor, including a chandelier and framed portraits on the walls.

USAID shut down life-saving HIV programs in Botswana, leaving people without treatment. 💔🇧🇼

Meanwhile, Marco Rubio, is publicly celebrating Botswana’s new contract with SpaceX, helping Musk get richer with U.S. government support.

People die, billionaires profit. 🤮

GOP voting record against women: 1972, against selling birth control to single women (Scotus intervened... they would not do so today). 1974, equal right to a credit card. 1978, for allowing employers to fire pregnant women, 1980, against reporting workplace sexual harassment, 1994, 2012, against the "Violence Against Women" act.

THEY ALWAYS HAVE BEEN.

It’s happening all over. The rally last Wednesday in Sacramento abt protecting IDEA had no interpreters. A conference hosted by the CDE where my supervisor and I will be presenting told me that they will not provide interpreters and that we have to bring our own—they are in violation of 504 and ADA

Yes

I agree

said this before and i wasn't exaggerating: RFK has the exact personality type of the kind of person that, in a different sort of regime, oversees mass starvation.

Don't forget to include disabled people in your resistance. The more revolutionary you become, the more likely you'll join the disability community. To fight back and get out alive is almost always to become disabled in some way. Disabled people know how to adapt and fight continuously. You need us.

Keep saying creepy! Call them Musk's bloodboys! This is better!

HB 1367 is the correct number.

Reminds me of HB 1366 back in 2012. It was promoted by Hear Indiana, Indiana Hands and Voices, and Saint Joseph. Karl White from NCHAM flew from Utah to support their bill which was to take the outreach away from ISD.

Be vigilant for your rights, especially during next four days.

Trump gave a press conference toggling seamlessly between "disabled people caused the plane crash" and "Black people caused the plane crash" and it's disconcerting how so many folks' take away is to try and parse out which comment is worse. It's eugenics and that's uniformly bad, guys!

Guantanamo housing is oxymoron.

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.
