Republicans keep saying the “genuinely disabled” don’t have to worry about losing Medicaid.

All disabilities are genuine.

You also need healthcare to get a diagnosis. To get the paperwork done. To “prove it”.

They’re ensuring people get trapped in red tape loopholes so they can’t get care.

Boycotting is a privilege.

Prepping is a privilege.

Protesting is a privilege.

Leaving the country is a privilege.

Not all solutions are accessible to everyone.

We need robust community care to ensure people aren’t left behind.

NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya used sickle cell disease research as an example of something he would not call DEI and cut. It's being cut.

CFPB Quietly Kills Rule to Shield Americans From Data Brokers Russell Vought, acting director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, has canceled plans to more tightly regulate the sale of Americans’ sensitive personal data.

States Drop Effort To Overturn Section 504, But Continue To Challenge Disability Protections Seventeen states are no longer seeking to invalidate one of the nation's key disability rights laws, but advocates say threats remain.

Disabled people are not expendable.

Disabled people are not lazy.

Disabled people are not “choosing” to be sick.

Disabled people deserve healthcare, social supports & accommodation.

These are not controversial concepts. Ableism & health supremacy tell you otherwise.

Fight with us. Fight for us.

This is violence. It’s eugenics. It’s fucking evil. And the worst part is it’s gonna get very little attention and most people aren’t even gonna notice cause y’all have simply moved on.

🐧 Stop Trump’s tariffs.

The “covid is only a threat to the vulnerable” narrative primed the pump for the eugenics movement we’re seeing now.
