Suggesting the CHILDREN in the Texas floods deserved to die because off of the political beliefs of people you don’t even know makes you a fascist 🤷🏼♀️

Is it really art if capitalism forces you to create things that sell instead of expressing your true artistic intent?

Anna is a wonderful and integral member of the Flint Symphony Orchestra’s first violin section. The Trump administration has made it nearly impossible to renew her O-1 Visa and she cannot afford an immigration attorney. Please share and support if you can! 🎻😊

Dear educators,
504/IEPs are NOT optional. They are MANDATORY.
Sincerely,
A Disabled person tired of watching Disabled students not have a chance to succeed because their teachers refuse to follow basic guidelines to make them successful.

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.

There are only three political positions in America today
1) I like the fascism
2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc)
3) I oppose the fascism
The rest is details

Dems: excludes certain demographics that don’t fit their vision, including Disabled people
Also Dems: I wonder why we keep losing elections.

If you don’t include Disabled voices in political organizing, you’re ableist. Disabled people, more than ever, need an outlet to advocate for our community and by excluding our voices, it proves you don’t care about us.

There should be a group chat feature on MyChart so you can make sure all of your doctors are on the same page.

legalising assisted dying when you're simultaneously slashing disability benefits is simply coercing people into suicide and could legally be considered manslaughter

Bravery is wheelchair users putting their bodies on the line to stop Medicaid cuts.
Shame is arresting them instead of listening.
Medicaid is a lifeline — not a line item.

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

Today we celebrate the legacy of Claudio Abbado, born 92 years ago — a remarkable musician and former principal conductor of the LSO. We remember his extraordinary musicianship and lasting impact with a few cherished moments from our archives. 📷🎵

All of this is showing me how much political and geographic education the US lacks for its citizens.
Clearly the 2 classes you take in high school weren’t enough.

All wars since WWII have been illegal. None of them sanctioned by congress.

Children from Gaza with cancer are finally making it to Jordan for long-promised treatment. But a plan to allow as many as 2,000 patients out of the war-torn enclave has slowed.

Jimmy Carter also funded the East Timor Genocide in Indonesia but keep holding him on a pedestal. 🙄
Jimmy Carter was under enormous pressure to do something like this in 1980 during the hostage crisis, but he refrained because he knew better — and that time Iran had actually done something to us first.

Neolibs are really out here acting like Obama, Biden and all the presidents before them didn’t commit war crimes. Just because you didn’t follow international politics until Cheeto got elected, doesn’t mean they didn’t commit war crimes, bomb the Middle East, and kill innocent civilians.
