Disabled Americans experience the highest rates of poverty of every marginalized group in America. 27% live below the poverty line (12% for ableds).

Their median earnings are $18,865 compared to $28,983 for the abled.

These numbers WILL get worse.

If you can help you will save lives.

Went on a quick road trip today!

the establishment endorsing Zohran because they know he's going to win even if they don't like him is good, actually

Not simply fascism. Monarchism.

SCOOP: A Trump official tells
@nypost
that the administration favors Paramount Skydance to buy Warner Bros. Discovery – and a number of rival bidders are likely to face stiff hurdles from US regulators in the blockbuster auction. “Who owns Warner Bros. Discovery is very important to the administration,” a senior Trump administration official told On The Money. “The Warner board needs to think very seriously not just on the price competition but which player in the suitor pool has been successful getting a deal done. And that points to the Ellisons.”

I get that, but it is not stopping the folks who still attend the Catholic church I once did from making excuses for the current state of the right

Maybe it’s just the ones I was raised around, but that is not the impression i got after volunteering in the church

Most MAGAs probably aren’t child rapists, but we do know they’re people who just love helping child rapists get away with it - and either way, they’re sure as hell not trustworthy around kids.

“They can’t discriminate against you for being disabled!”

In theory this is true. There are protections in place to prevent discrimination

In practice they don’t work. Especially with rising fascism and eugenicist sentiment

We are denied accommodations. Denied jobs. Denied housing. Denied support

I’ve been suicidal. I’ve felt completely hopeless and alone. I struggled daily to find a reason to live. I don’t tell you that to garner sympathy. I say it to let you know that you’re not alone. It is possible to survive and to have a life you’d be happy living.

I still don't get why people (in the US especially) don't understand the connection between the intense push to force us all to embrace commercial genAI everywhere all the time and the wave of fascism... it's not coincidental.

“Ultimately, the collective strategy of AI companies threatens to deskill precisely those people who are essential for society to function(…) automation of knowledge and culture by private companies is a worrying prospect – conjuring dystopian and outright fascistic scenarios.” — @olivia.science

AI Is Hollowing Out Higher Education

Olivia Guest & Iris van Rooij urge teachers and scholars to reject tools that commodify learning, deskill students, and promote illiteracy.

I’m glad to hear that, at the very least. I don’t get to that point too often either, but the skills I taught to other folks have worked on me as well.

Please consider this an open offer to reach out should you ever change your mind
