“Nolite te bastardes carborundorum.” The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood

“One does not establish a dictatorship order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship.” 1984, George Orwell

A woman in black and white has a long wavy hair with an intense gaze, her handlename is: ashleyinwheellife. She writes: your disabled friends are noticing your silence right now.

Not just disabled friends, but all marginalized friends.

Trump speaks about D.C. plane crash and points blame at DEI President Trump delivered remarks Thursday morning in the aftermath of the first major commercial plane crash in the U.S. in more than a decade.

Instead of empathy and leadership, Trump had to take a dig at the disabled community?

RFK Jr. grilled on his views on vaccines and abortion in first confirmation hearing Kennedy, Trump's nominee to be health and human services secretary, also stumbled under questioning from a GOP senator on Medicaid.

So are you telling me, RFK, that you “don’t know” if a woman should be treated for having a missed miscarriage, or complicated miscarriage that she has no control over, and not treating this can potentially cause sepsis, or even death. Just because you don’t want to tell the states what to do.

The icon shows a white male with hair swept over his head. He wears a white lab coat and a red tie. The handle name is: drscotthadland. From Boston, MA. He writes: funding for WIC is now frozen. It provides food for women, infants, and children across the us. As a pediatrician, I see the benefit of WIC for kids & families everyday. Without WIC, quite frankly, babies & kids in America will starve. Now’s a moment to ask what “pro life” means.

A reasonable concern.

Black block letter inside clear white bubble around each word: diversity is a fact. Inclusion is an act. The background is white.

I am reading Spare. I waited for that book since September via Libby! Other one I’m reading is 1984 by George Orwell because it feels fitting to what is happening these days. 😔

Kansas tuberculosis outbreak is now America's largest in recorded history Kansas public health officials say the state's ongoing tuberculosis outbreak is the largest since the CDC started reporting TB cases in the 1950s.

It is a shame that Federal agencies can’t talk about this.

It still stands is today. It doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be vigilant or what is yet to come.

The Civil Rights of Students With Hidden Disabilities and Section 504 This pamphlet explains how students with hidden disabilities are protected against discrimination by Federal law.

Correction to my earlier post regarding 504: it still stands. It is detailed in Disability Protections & ADA Amendment Act of 2008. Link: www.ed.gov/laws-and-pol...

Correction to this post: 504 is still up. It is instead placed in Disability protection & ADA amendment Act of 2008.

Absolutely. Sometimes we have to have uncomfortable conversations. Otherwise how can we learn?

A woman with Down’s syndrome is smiling at women with their face turned, and the woman wearing graduation gown. The caption: an overview of section 504. Learn more about the rights of students with disabilities in programs and activities that receive federal funds. There is a blue link you can click on: learn about section 504. This is on Ed.gov page.

The link leads to a page stating page not found 404. We are sorry but the page you’re looking for doesn’t exist. This might be because the page has been moved or deleted. You have typed the web address incorrectly. Please check the URL and try again. If you need assistance, you can: try search, visit our homepage.

Ed.gov is no longer showing page for Section 504. There is no transparency or future plans for 504. Our disability rights are being dismantled before our eyes.

All of the dialogues happening right now. Keep having them. I ask you only one thing though. Please do not forget us disabled people. We are often forgotten in those dialogues. We are as negatively affected as many others are.

Icon of a woman in black and white: Debclembuckert 13h. Text: three hours in. Insulin prices up. No more cancer research. If there’s another big health scare, you won’t know. If you have any preexisting condition, you better be scared. If you’re chronically ill, this is terrifying. Critically ill? I have no words.

The medicine affordability is now denied to us. The research paving way to providing health care for us is being denied. How is this okay?

Trans people are people too. LGBTQIA are people too. Undocumented Immigrants are people too. BIPOC are people too. Disabled people are people too. People with different spiritual beliefs & religions are people too. Women are people too. Just in case if you’re forgotten that

Senduckwoeth: anyone who commits a crime must face consequences. But the Laken Riley Act that passed the Senate is an extreme bill that authorizes the largest expansion of mandatory detention for anyone even suspected of a crime. It is inhumane, unfounded, and un-American. I voted no.

This bill concerns me. It is a clear case of racial profiling, & discrimination. Remember Japanese internment camps? Are we really doing this again?

A woman with gray cropped hair, swept bang, is smiling with her mouth closed. She is wearing a deep purple sash around her neck and undershirt is also deep purple. The cross necklace is golden and orate. She is wearing black robe with white collar.

The so called bishop who spoke at the national prayer service on Tuesday morning was a radical left hard line Trump hater. She brought her church into the world of politics in a very ungracious way. She was nasty in tone, and not compelling or smart. She failed to mention the large number of illegal migrants that came into our country and killed peoples many were deposited from jail and mental institutions. It is a giant crime wage that is taking place in the USA. Apart from her inappropriate comments the service was very nothing and uninspiring one. She is not even good at her job! She and her church owes the public an apology!

Pastor Budde was elegant through how she delivered her sermon. And she owe an apology? For telling the truth? So, where is our apology for Elon Musk’s atrocious behavior?

White House took down the accessibility page. Again.

Will White House will deny having ASL interpreters on the stage for press conferences…again.

Or have ASL interpreters stand somewhere off the stage so they won’t be as distracting?

We will see, I suppose.

🤷🏻‍♀️

The icon shows a couple standing together and handlename: theauthorcouple. The comment: I love how the same crowd that crucified Tim Walz’s autistic son for proudly screaming “that’s my dad!” Just a couple of months ago is now using autism as an excuse for facist behavior. The bias is really bias-ing.
