Perhaps @jonstewart @jonfavs y’all should have #OneOfTheTwo advocates like @luckytran or Long Covid Justice, @mattbc or others on your podcast #TheWeeklyShow @PodSaveAmerica to educate y’all.

.@jonstewart we met in 2015 during #renew911health rally which inspired me to get arrested in 2017 trying to #SaveMedicaid. I rely on others to like @BetoORourke mask & be #oneofthetwo to keep me safe since I cannot properly mask using breathing machine 24/7 & #HighRiskCOVID19

#OneOfTheTwo I’m a cancer patient and masking as I wait in line to get my COVID shot. .@jonstewart I am one of countless immunocompromised Americans whose life could be turned upside down by one COVID infection or a bad case of the flu. I mask to protect my community and myself.

PSA: You don’t owe anyone an explanation about the health reasons why you are wearing a mask. Badgering others about the tools they need to survive is stigmatizing and ableist, and should have no place in decent society. #oneofthetwo

.@jonstewart we met 10 yrs ago while advocating to #renew911health which inspired me to do #SaveMedicaid advocacy. Due to muscular dystrophy & unable to effectively mask due to being vent dependent #HighRiskCOVID19 I require others to mask around me & be #oneofthetwo 2 stay safe

🧵 Rest in power, Alice Wong. @SFdirewolf. A trailblazer, a fierce advocate, and a relentless voice for disability rights. Her work changed the landscape for so many. /1

Thank you to @IStepFunny, @adaptanita, @ColleenFlangan and @Sneschalmerz for speaking to me about the #SummerOfADAPT.

During the recent debate, President Trump claimed he “saved” the Affordable Care Act. I talked to some of the disabled women from iconic 2017 ACA/Medicaid protest photos about how they feel about that. 19thnews.org/2024/09/disabl…

@DisRightsTx Are y’all able to help with people’s applications that have just said “pending” since the beginning of August after all needed documents & info submitted & aren’t able to get any answers on why it’s taking so long to get reapproved when they call 211 or on website?

@disasterstrat Might not be quite what you’re looking for but @DisabledSouth is directing people to this org, Medical Aid for Palestinians, linked below for monetary donations map.org.uk/donate/donatio…

We're looking to make contact with Palestinian Organizations of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs/DPOs). We have reached out to 5 OPDs and 2 NGOs serving the disability community in Palestine, but have not yet made contact. We are in contact with 1 such OPD in Israel.

@mattbc @BCBSTX Once I find an in network pharmacy that carries Novavax I plan on getting boosted next week. BCBSTX better not try to add more red tape by asking for a referral. It’s bad enough they do not cover at home COVID tests anymore. Will keep you posted.

Serenity.. 😊

This is devastating
