This lady ate a surface-to-air missile, sustained a 12-14 G rocket-propelled ejection, likely hit the ground at 15+ miles per hour…
And then she popped up smiling at the locals who came to help her.
Tell me again that women don’t belong in combat.

“Get it all on record now — get the films — get the witnesses — because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.”

JD Vance says fewer undocumented immigrants means Americans can finally afford homes.
So which is it?
They “don’t work” and “live on welfare” — or they’re somehow buying up all the houses?
Pick a lie.

Senator, you have the power to stop this madness before these kids die or become disabled. Stop the madness!

Measles is highly contagious & very serious. A severe case can lead to pneumonia and encephalitis (swelling of the brain), or even death. This doesn't have to happen. The best way to prevent the spread of measles is to get vaccinated.

Why is it impossible? FDR flew in DC-9s, B-17s, and (OMG!) was President of the United State. Don’t handicap him with your preconceived attitude about what people with #disabilities cancer do. By the way, i would not vote him!

WAIT, isn't Texas Governor Greg Abbott paralyzed from the waist down? if that's true, then this is impossible - or not him.

@oceanfirstbank changed their telephone banking system to voice-only input. This #discriminates against people with speech #disabilities and may violate the #ADA because the system doesn’t offer another option to gain information. Perhaps unintended but still discriminatory. It needs to change!

WRONG! Just like retirees, people on disability are allowed to work a minimum number of hours a month to supplement our income. Most of us want to work!

@OliLondonTV If your son is on disability he shouldn't be 'working' as an employee. I'm pretty sure that's fraud

As a parent and a person with a #disability involved with #EmergencyResponse I have played this scenario in my mind too many times.

Why? I have been called worse by grown adults, and I’m a proud wheelchair user. Abbott doesn’t need your pity because he is in a chair.
Jake Sherman@JakeSherman
absolutely shocking that an adult would poke fun at someone who is in a wheel chair.

Well, maybe if members of Congress would take a stand against reckless actions by unelected chainsaw carrying men who don’t care about Seniors, disabled kids, or war veterans losing the government jobs, maybe the people’s anger would be less inflammatory. Just a thought
Congressman Tom Kean@CongressmanKean
Every morning we are waking up to more reports of innocent citizens having their cars set on fire and Tesla dealerships attacked with bricks or bullets - this kind of stuff needs to stop right now. Violence is never ever acceptable and anyone taking part in it should face the full force of the law.

Shame, shame @RepVanDrewStaff You voted for a resolution that will force cuts to #Medicaid hurting people with #disabilities in #NJ despite what you pledged.

MAGA Nazis in Coeur D'Alene, Idaho dragged out people at a town hall when they opposed cuts to Medicaid, the citizens were attacked and detained by unknown assailants while a MAGA speaker mocked the victims and thanked the rest of the crowd for being docile subservient cowards.

💔 The tragic loss of Anthony Mitchell, a wheelchair user and his son Justin, who had CP and no mobility aid, during the LA wildfires highlights deadly gaps in disaster planning for Disabled.
We must ensure inclusive preparedness to save lives.

Disgusting and defamatory
Protect Kamala Harris ✊@DisavowTrump20
🚨NEW: Elon Musk has falsely accused Lt. Colonel Alexander Vindman of working for a Ukrainian oligarch, threatening a charge of treason and even potentially the death penalty. RETWEET if you stand with Lt. Colonel Vindman against these disgusting attacks!

I’m a wheelchair user & disability researcher in Paris for the whole of the #Paralympics2024. I’ll be running around like a bit of a madwoman, but I’ll try to post interesting updates / observations here! ⬇️

BREAKING: Following Donald Trump’s debacle at Arlington National Cemetery, Vote Vets released this devastating ad calling out Donald Trump for his BS. Retweet to make sure all Americans see this.
