Obviously, a lot of the right's rhetoric on Kirk is a pretext to attack the left, but some of it also shows how desperate they are to avoid talking about the economy, Epstein, or Russia attacking Poland.

They're going to push this as hard as they can.

They should call it DEIA to emphasize that social justice can’t happen without #DeisabilityJustice , accessibility is critical part is those efforts to include ppl—we’re the largest national minority/-se should be part of the convo, w our community representing, not a top-down approach. 💜💙

Accessibility is about freedom. It removes the shackles that prevent some people from using technology, entering buildings, getting information, or simply living life. When you free those who were constrained by barriers, you often end up freeing others in the process.

Brad Lomax, a disabled Black Panther and primary organizer of the 504 Protest, helped bridge the disability community in SF with the Black Panthers. He convinced both groups of the need for solidarity & paved the path to eventual passage of the ADA as a result. One of the great American activists.

Erin Biba @erinbiba.bsky.social · Aug 20

This is endlessly frustrating about current activism. Disabled people are INCREDIBLE organizers and have fought for successful change for generations. And yet these days y’all leave us out of your activism and refuse to create accessible spaces.

But look at what actual solidarity can accomplish:

Dr. Damien P. Williams! Look over here! … It's All For You! @wolvendamien.bsky.social · Aug 19

In 1977, Disabled activists occupied the Federal Building in San Francisco to demand the passage of Section 504— legislation to protect against disability discrimination.When the building was cordoned off, in an effort to starve activists out, The Black Panthers *Broke In* to deliver them hot meals.

ILLINOIS! We continue to oppose the assisted suicide bill that the House passed (but Senate did not). Here are some of the reasons why the #Disability community has coalesced to reject that bill. #PAS #DisabilityJustice #DisabilityRightsAreHumanRights.💜💙💜

PATIENTS RIGHTS ACTION FUND
7 Reasons to Oppose Assisted Suicide
1. Assisted suicide gives insurance companies & governments the ability to save money by pushing lethal drugs that are less expensive than treatment. This has happened in Oregon & California where patients were refused coverage of life-saving treatment and offered lethal drugs instead.
One of the founders of the assisted suicide movement, Derek Humphry, stated, “economics, not the question of broadened liberties or increased autonomy, will drive assisted suicide to the plateau of acceptable practice." Canadian officials estimated that assisted suicide & euthanasia could reduce annual spending by between $34.7 million and $138.8 million compared to $1.5 million to $14.8 million spent on lethal drugs.'
2. Only 66 (4%) of the 1,657 patients who died by assisted suicide in Oregon since its legalization in 1998 were referred for psychiatric evaluation.
3. Inadequate pain control is not among the top 5 reasons patients in Oregon & Washington request lethal drugs.
4. A 6 month prognosis for death is extremely difficult to predict accurately, with many patients living far beyond 6 months.
A major study of physician prognoses in Chicago revealed that of 468 predictions,
only 20% were accurate in predicting when death would occur. In another study, "No group accurately predicted the length of patient survival more than 50% of the time."6
5. Patients who are not dying may receive lethal drugs. The definition of terminal illness under assisted suicide laws includes patients who refuse treatment and might live for many years, and diabetes has been listed as a reason someone received lethal drugs.
6. A CDC report reveals that from 1999-2010, suicide among those aged 35-64 increased 49% in Oregon as compared to a 28% increase nationally.
7. No trained medical personnel are required to be present at the time the lethal drugs are taken or at the time of death, creating the opportunity for an heir or abusive caregiver …

Although #DisabilityPride Month is over, we want to keep the focus on two things: #DisabilityJustice & that we have a right to take pride in our community every single day. 💜💙💜

Illustration with a rainbow-colored background resembling the Pride flag, with the words “EVERYONE IS WELCOME HERE” written across it in white capital letters. Below the text is a diverse group of people of different races, body types, abilities, and gender expressions, some holding Pride flags or using mobility aids, including a person in a wheelchair and one with a prosthetic leg. The image conveys a message of LGBTQ+ inclusion, disability pride, and community celebration.

Prayer is the only thing Republicans can now offer Americans because they

Call climate change a “hoax” and have no interest in trying to prevent it from killing people

Decimated the National Weather Service

Cut FEMA drastically

In an emergency we can’t count on help from a GOP run government

This is 47, Abbott and Nazis Barbie’s fault. They ignored all the warnings. Instead of preparing for this catastrophic flooding, they spent their time and FEMA money on building a concentration camp in the Everglades. These deaths are on them!

Please, whether you’re a member of the #Disability community or not, fight for & with us. We need everyone’s support. What is happening now is eerily similar to Nazi Germany, when disabled people were used as Nazi “guinea pigs” to “perfect” concentration camps. 3/

The #BigUglyBill, aka #HR1 passed on 7/3, & the #Disability community will be one of the hardest hit, as cuts to #Medicaid of almost $1T go into effect. Many other healthcare protections have been eliminated, so insurers can behave in a pre-ACÁ way again.

July is #DisabilityPride month
Did you know that:
* Disabled folks are the largest minority in the US
* There were over 40M disabled registered voters in 2024
* Disability intersects with every other demographic
* 2/3rds of US households have a disabled person in them? #DisabilitySky

This is a black background with white images. At the top, in white capital letters, it says “Disability is,” & then under that, in rainbow caps, it says, “diverse.” Under the words, from left to right, are white figures to symbolize disabilty, starting with the wheelchair icon, the icon for sign language, a figure with a cane, a figure standing with no visible disability, a figure using a walker, a figure in a scooter, & a figure with crutches.
