Holy cow. Five different sign language interpreters were present at Mamdani’s inauguration ceremony: American Sign Language (ASL), Hebrew Sign Language, Arabic Sign Language, Indian Sign Language, and Spanish Sign Language.

⚠️ATTENTION⚠️ DISABLED AMERICANS ARE AT RISK
Red background with a black text box above a graphic of a megaphone states: ATTENTION DISABLED AMERICANS ARE AT RISK! As enhanced ACA subsidies are slashed by the GOP, insurance costs will skyrocket for the many disabled people who rely on self- employment for survival, which is the majority of the disabled workforce! This will force many back on state benefits, out of work and off ACA coverage altogether. This is an attack by the Trump Administration that will devastate disabled livelihoods! At the bottom there there are two logos around the text "DSA Disability Working Group Democratic Socialists of America". One logo is for the Disability Working Group which is two connecting hands with deep brown skin in front of roses and leaves and the DSA logo which is a red circle with two held hands and a rose growing from between them.

THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION MOVED TO GUT STATE- BASES LEGAL SERVICES FOR DISABLED AMERICANS
Text on a white grid paper square on a red background reading WARNING in all caps in red text, underneath in smaller font it reads: "The Trump administration just proposed sweeping cuts to state-based legal services for disabled people! While simultaneously hollowing out the Justice Department by pushing out lawyers tasked with defending disability rights!" Underneath there is a read text box with white font reading: " This is what austerity looks like under capitalism: dismantle protections, silence our suffering, & leave disabled people without defense". At the bottom there there are two logos around the text "DSA Disability Working Group Democratic Socialists of America". One logo is for the Disability Working Group which is two connecting hands with deep brown skin in front of roses and leaves and the DSA logo which is a red circle with two held hands and a rose growing from between them.

If you feel like you don't know what you don't know about accessibility, it can help to follow folks who discuss assistive technology, accessibility and disability. Here's a list of people who post a lot about those.

Ableism is telling disabled people to stay home forever. Ableism is telling disabled people we’re not trying hard enough. Ableism is putting all the blame on disabled people rather than blaming the system that makes it so we can’t access the world.

Alice Wong (RIP) shared this years ago.
for everyone's sake, please study it.
anyone claiming organizing, "leftism", "socialism", "communism" without truly embodying and advocating for what's on this list may still be helping, but their view has holes.
we have nothing without our collective health.
10 principles of Disability Justice: 1. Intersectionality 2. Leadership of those most impacted 3. Anticapitalist Politic 4. Commitment to cross-movement organizing 5. Recognizing Wholeness 6. Sustainability 7. Commitment to crossed is ability solidarity 8. Interdependence 9. Collective Access 10. Collective Liberation

Here is a list of all the socialist programs we currently depend on (in one of the wealthiest countries that provides the least social safety net).
Social Security (1935)
Social Security Disability Insurance - SSDI
Medicare (1965)
Medicaid (1965)
Unemployment Insurance
The image features a tweet summarizing a House vote in which Republicans passed a bill to condemn socialism, with many Democrats also voting in favor. The text highlights that "we have two right-wing parties in America," with voting breakdowns and non-voting members listed. Below, a screenshot from the film "The Big Lebowski" shows the character holding a drink, paired with large yellow block text reading "WHAT THE FUCK?" visually expressing shock and disbelief at the political news.

The Disability Working Group of the Democratic Socialists of America condemn the callous gutting and poor response to the outbreak of H5N1 and its variants by our government during this critical moment.
