ICE makes me sick! They brutally dragged away a disabled American citizen, denied her medical care, mobility aids, and laughed at her and told her this wouldn’t have happened if she was a ‘normal’ human being. Join us at: makesmesick.org thenation.com/article/societ…

The federal gov't assault on Minneapolis—where my family, friends, and colleagues live—is dangerous, shameful, and stupid. Disabled people are among those harmed. My friend Rachel Litchman explains how attacks on immigrants also threaten her ability to live independently.

Recent immigration actions harm disabled immigrants and people with disabilities. How? Summer Internship Program alum Rachel Litchman writes about how people like her rely on home- and community-based services (HCBS) and how immigration policy affects these services. According to Rachel and many experts, attacks on immigrants and the recent Medicaid cuts mean that HCBS faces a dire threat. ow.ly/U78Y50XW9xW ID: Photo of Rachel smiling at the camera against a brick wall. There's text underneath that says: "For people like me who rely on caregivers to remain in the community, assaults on immigrants mean I move closer and closer to institutionalization each day. I am not naïve to the abuses that occur in institutional facilities. I fear what will happen to myself and other disabled people, citizens and immigrants alike, when we are forced out of sight, out of mind."

When Republicans tell you they didn't vote to cut Medicaid, ask them what their list of cuts are to pay for the billionaire tax cuts. I urge all my Republican colleagues to vote NO on the reconciliation bill.

@bedboundscared We don't at this time have capacity to provide formal direct service to individuals or do advocacy on your behalf to a doctor. But email ben@meaction.net & newyork@meaction.net and I can try to offer some advice about accessing local health and disability services. @MEActNet

Does me action help people directly who have very severe ME? Like if I reached out to them would they do anything for me? Maybe have someone advocate on my behalf to a doctor or something?

I am so appreciative of what President Joe Biden has gotten done for this country, but having a second Trump presidency is as scary of a thought as I can have. We need to move forward in a way that ensures Trump is never president. It’s time to pass the torch.

Hey all please take the time to read if you want to remain a credible ally to #LongCovid patients — I will not tolerate “IDK what’s going on” or “ so much infighting” anymore Questioning illnesses, misogynistic/homophobic remarks & violent rhetoric had no place in this community
eIisa@mildTin

I tend to hold my tounge when there's something that I don't understand. I like to watch, listen, take my time. I watched as others speak up and be punished for it, for months. For months I've watched as the community that I love get taken over by wreckers

#BethMazur found me flailing on twitter in 2015 & convinced to join a group of rebels at #MEAction. She was the first & last person I would go to for advice. She was there when I couldn't see light. I want to punch a hole in universe. I miss you Beth. meaction.net/2023/12/22/sad…

“Clinical trials likely should have been done sooner.” On today's @MehdiHasanShow, I pressed Dr. Anthony Fauci on the slowness of our government to address what he calls the “serious problem” of Long COVID - and on Biden never mentioning it.
