My grandmother Christine Person passed away on Saturday morning. She was a rock in our family, and I miss her so much. I cherish all the years that I knew her.

@CandiMundonKing Thank you so much for your words.
It's so frustrating to see Joe Biden's stutter to be constantly weaponized against him. We need more people to be supportive of disabilities and disabled people in politics.

My mother has a speech impediment. My child is neurodivergent. Our continued lack of compassion when people don’t sound like us is dangerous. I pray for the day we realize that people can be brilliant and capable without sounding like they are toastmaster graduates.

Overturning Roe v. Wade was wrong, and continues to place the lives of numerous disabled people at risk.
Plenty of disabled people cannot safely have children, such as people who take medication incompatible with pregnancy. Banning abortions places their health in danger!

Two years ago, Roe v Wade was overturned by Trump-appointed radical justices, putting lives at risk and in the hands of dangerous politicians.

Imagine thinking that jailing Autistic people helps them.
Crazy? Yet, Republican State Senator Stuart is saying that right now in Richmond!
VAPLAN@vaplan2018
Sen Stuart over and over suggests how important it is for autistic people to get arrested and charged and caught up in the criminal justice system so that they can get the help they need (and then have the charges dismissed). What a screwed up world we live in.

Student Loan debt disproportionately affects disabled Americans.
The Supreme Court ruling today against President Biden's forgiveness program is a slap to the face for our community.

Abortion rights.
The right to contraception.
The right to marry the person you love.
These and more are at risk in these midterm elections.

Fyi. @JohnFetterman won’t see your horrible remarks, but your disabled family and friends will. Disabled people can and do serve in public office. #disappointed

FYI:
+ kids do get significantly sick with COVID
+ Covid does spread at school
+ it’s taken all my family about 12-24 hours from symptom onset to test positive and the first symptom was sneezing
+ if you think your kid is “getting a cold” test them. Keep them home. Test again.

Earlier this year, President @JoeBiden signed two executive orders to protect access to abortion care, the right to contraception, and the safety of providers and clinics.
We are protecting access to reproductive health care for women across the country.

Access for and accommodation of disabled people are not extras.
They are doing what you’re supposed to do to remedy inequity and discrimination.
