We aren’t less than and we won’t go down without a fight.

Rodney has filed a habeas corpus complaint in federal court. He’s fighting his unlawful imprisonment.

He needs the disability community to fight for him and demand his release.

My full article on how the community can help Rodney:
Help Rodney Taylor, a Disabled Double Amputee Being Held by ICE
Rodney has been in the country more than 40 years. He's in solitary confinement in Georgia, being denied disability accommodations and having his medical needs ignored. He must be released.

Thou shalt worry less about Tylenol causing autism and more about Donold causing fascism.

I'm not asking people to stop talking about Kimmel or the coming repression tied to their latest martyr project—all of this is important. I am just saying, can we work in more discussion of our neighbors being hunted and protesters being gassed, beaten, and shot with pepper balls in Chicagoland?

Two children were killed and seventeen people were injured in a shooting at Annunciation Catholic School.

A Cracker Barrel logo change received far more scrutiny and attention than any fight against the epidemic of gun violence in this country.

Our priorities remain idiotic.

Far too many times, men only bring up being #ActuallyAutistic as an excuse for mistreating women. That's a bullshit excuse and it does nothing but spread more stigma around autism. Grateful for @aislingwalsh.bsky.social's piece.

Better fact: Liberia was created by formerly freed Black Americans in the 1820s. Those Black Americans & their descendants became the ruling class in Liberia.

Some President’s aides brief their principal on the history of the country with whose leader he’s meeting. He wouldn’t listen anyway.
Trump to Liberian President Boakai: “Such good English. Beautiful English. Where did you learn to speak so beautifully?”

Fun fact: English is the official language of Liberia.

As a disabled person that lives with daily chronic pain, we have every right to be mad and full of disabled rage at the outcome of what’s been festering for months. My family and friends will be impacted by this bill! Sending all my disabled comrades love and solidarity today and always!

Disabled kids like mine rely on Medicaid to survive; this bill cuts Medicaid.

I don't know how else to say that medically complex disabled children will die as a result of this bill.

On the third anniversary of the overturning of Roe v. Wade, revisit our reporting about the women who died after not receiving timely medical care in states with strict abortion bans:
Life of the Mother
When the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, doctors warned that women would die, but lawmakers who passed state abortion bans didn’t listen. The worst consequences are now becoming clear.

We are heading to court this morning for Anthony’s arraignment and I will be advocating for his release.

My brother & client has been unjustly held in jail for 4 days for documenting a federal immigration raid in the city of Los Angeles. He displayed clear marks of being beaten up. FREE ANT!
Anthony’s sister was outside the mayor’s house demanding the release of her brother. FREE ANT! FREE THEM ALL!

The biggest barriers to experiencing autistic joy are "prevalent societal attitudes and behaviors, such as bullying autistic people for engaging in their intense interests and for expressing their need for sensory appropriate environments or accommodations."

What Brings Autistic People Joy?
What if much of what society has been taught about autism and happiness is wrong? New research shows that autistic people experience intense joy connected to autistic traits.

From today’s press conference:

Anthony Orendorff’s lawyer, Ricci Sergienko, set the stage for whats really happening in our city.

The people of LA see through @mayor.lacity.gov’s lies. LAPD is collaborating with ICE, DHS, & CBP to terrorize our communities & repress anyone who dares to push back.
