Trump screws Americans again just in time for hurricane season by reshaping FEMA.

“We’re going to send out less money. We’re going to give it out directly.” Straining state & local governments. Who do think will get the help they need?

Socialism is what they called public power. 

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

“Eugenics isn’t just about eradicating the lesser people like myself, like people with disabilities, it’s about attaching disability to marginalized communities in order to slate them for eradication.”

4,000 folks here. I am humbled. Thank you for being here with me!

A flurry of appointments have eaten up time - like many people with subsidized healthcare, I am rushing to get up to date on exams, screenings, and vaccinations before they may no longer be available. #Disability #ChronicIllness
