Tell Congress: Freeze Funding for ICE! Congress must oppose additional funding for DHS without provisions that ensure accountability for ICE’s violence and an end to the deadly masked patrols in our streets.

Just saying, but when people are trying to do everything they can to prevent you from voting, that’s when you absolutely need to vote.

Ready to make this the biggest midterm turnout in history?

Blue textured background. There is a map of the US in the middle where the following states are highlighted orange: Alaska, Montana, South Dakota, Kansas, Missouri, Indiana, Texas, Louisiana, and Florida. Text reads: 9 states are suing the US government to threaten disability rights in a case called Texas v Kennedy. Here’s what you need to know and how you can take action!

Blue textured background with a white box with text. Text reads: WHAT IS TEXAS V KENNEDY? Texas v Kennedy is about Section 504 rules. Section 504 is an important law that says groups who get money from the US government cannot discriminate against disabled people. 
Law and rules are different. The new lawsuit does not want to get rid of the Section 504 law.  The Section 504 law says that you can’t discriminate against disabled people if you get money from the United States government. 
The Section 504 rules explain what disability discrimination is. Texas v Kennedy is only about the Section 504 rules.

Blue textured background. Text reads: WHAT DO THE SECTION 504 RULES DO? The main rule that states are suing over in Texas v Kennedy is called the integration mandate. The integration mandate says that all people with disabilities have a right to live, work, and get services in the community. 
When we say β€œthe community”, we mean places that are not only for disabled people. 
The integration mandate means that disabled people cannot be forced to live in institutions if we can live in the community instead.

Blue textured background. Text reads: WHAT DO THE SECTION 504 RULES DO? But the integration mandate isn’t the only rule under threat in Texas v Kennedy. If the states suing have their way, other important rules will go away, including rules that: 
Protect disabled people from discrimination when we go to the doctor; 
Stop doctors from making choices about our medical treatment because they have bad opinions about our disabilities;
Make sure that medical equipment like exam tables and x-ray machines are accessible to people with disabilities;
And much more.

Measles is one of those nightmare diseases that, if it hadn't been killing people for hundreds of years, people would ABSOLUTELY be pushing conspiracy theories about right now. It's too nasty in too many different directions to seem natural. But oh, boy, it sure is.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Right side text that says "We are all ICE Watch, I protect and defend my neighbors. We are neighbors and demand our constitutional defenders are not charged. If loving your neighbor is wrong, then ALL Minnesotans are guilty" 
Left side features a light blue poster with a loon and white text that says "We are Minnesota We protect our neighbors"

Loved this from the STAC training tonight. My one advantage rn is my whiteness and you can be sure I'm going to use it to protect my neighbors.

As someone with multiple disabling chronic illnesses that were likely triggered by viruses (or maybe even 1 in a chain reaction!), I agree.

Disabled people already push themselves way harder than they should.
They already go out of their comfort zones just to get through the day.
They already try harder than you'll ever know

Morbid Reminder

On Average Autistic ppl die 16 years earlier than our peers. And even earlier for any co-occurring conditions like ADHD.

This is attributed largely to the literal stress of being Autistic in a world that doesn’t accept us as we are.

Sure.

Sure.

I'll leave.

It's easy.

No. Bullshit.

Make this place safe for me, for my community.

We literally, lawfully have nowhere else to go.

Understand this is eugenics.

What, exactly, are we celebrating tomorrow?

Our cutting off healthcare to the needy to enrich the greedy?

Our new concentration camps?

Our dying economy?

Our ditching due process?

Our corruption?

Our broken legislature?

Our corrupt SCOTUS?

Our ridiculous buffoon president? #FourthOfJuly

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

My dude fell asleep during the birthday party he threw for himself, while millions of people showed up to tell him to go fuck himself. This is not a powerful man. America is not "great again." We've lost everything in the eyes of the world.
