"It's very simple. We want to get rid of mail-in voting,"

"(Getting rid of mail-in voting) would disproportionately affect disabled voters, whose voter participation was boosted in 2020 thanks to mail-in voting."

Makes me sick to my stomach to see Selma Blair being honored and featured at a disability awards ceremony less than a year after being an unapologetic xenophobe and spouting anti-Arab garbage.

She’s done nothing to help liberate disabled people. I don’t know why folks keep platforming her.

I am Disabled.

Not "Differently Abled"

So call me what I am.

Disabled.

Stop using these other "terms" they aren't as wholesome as you think.

Disabled ISN'T a bad word and we're NOT something to be ashamed of!

CMS is responsible for determining what the coverage standards are for Medicaid/care. One way for the disability advocacy community to propose changes to the standards is via the CMS proposal process. If you haven't noticed, Trump (1/2)

BREAKING

President-elect Trump says he intends on nominating Dr. Oz to serve as CMS Administrator.

As CMS Administrator, Dr. Oz will oversee Medicare, Medicaid, and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP).

These programs provide healthcare to over 100 million Americans.

I was really hesitant about going on my trip to DC last July. I was booking flights around the same time as the presidential debate that effectively ended Joe Biden's candidacy for president. I remember thinking "this may be my last time in DC". (1/4)
