@kylegriffin1 Trump is not only ableist, he openly embraces eugenics. He wants disabled people to disappear or die, including disabled veterans. Don’t forget this prick pretended to be disabled so he wouldn’t have to serve in the military.

Born deaf and blind, she's caught in Trump's anti-diversity crusade: A program for deafblind children helped 3-year-old Annie Garner, born with poor vision and no ears, learn to communicate. The Trump admin cut the program's funding over diversity goals. nytimes.com/2025/12/15/us/…

@hjluks Has it not occurred to you that the causation is in the other direction in most of these cases? People are not moving well or enough because they are already having health problems? FFS!

1/ 🚨 Over 28 falsehoods and common anti-vaccine talking points were shared during yesterday’s ACIP meeting. The zone is being flooded with misinformation, and it’s impossible to debunk it all in real time. But here are some key ones you should know. 🧵

Unbelievable. You’ve literally just confirmed today that carers will lose their allowance as soon as PIP benefits stop — worsening already elevated mental anguish for carers, nearly all of whom are also terrified about how to provide dignity to their loved ones without PIP.

Ever notice that when you share data showing that SARS2 is actually still a big problem, peoples’ immediate response is to say there’s no way we should “lockdown” again, as if that’s remotely close to what you’re suggesting, or ever even happened?

Disabled person speaks out about abuse in healthcare setting “They wouldn’t do that” “They can’t do that” “Just lodge a complaint!” “Just find another doctor” The imbalance of power is huge when you’re disabled. It’s not as simple as “just” complaining or finding another doctor

Scented products are a disability rights issue. Before you light that candle, do your laundry with scented detergent, or spray perfume, ask yourself: Who else will breathe this in? For many, scent is a barrier. Fragrance (even essential oils!) means volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which can trigger a cascade of chemical reactions with indoor air. Scents can trigger migraines, asthma, MCAS, and more. Access starts with awareness. Please be mindful of your scent.
