I’m going to need everyone to drop what they are doing and listen to “Against Technoableism” by Ashley Shew. I’m only on chapter 5 and it is SO GOOD AND IMPORTANT…I would say ESPECIALLY if you are not currently disabled

No, Police Aren't Welcome at Pride — and for Good Reason

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

Several months ago, I decided that my cryptid battle vest needed some more patches. I printed a cryptid/creep for every letter
The patches turned out wonderfully! Unfortunately, they also made my vest look like a Girl Scout vest, which wasn’t exactly what I was going for 😂

Warehouse and shipping workers are standing up to ICE.
If you’re in the industry, consider signing their pledge to fight back against inhumane workplace raids.

The term “wheelchair accessible” can be quite broad.
What is accessible to someone who uses one type of wheelchair might not be accessible to someone who uses a different type of wheelchair.

“[Liberals would] rather plug their ears than admit that health care is a material need. It’s not a slogan. It’s not, like, a thing you support in your heart. It’s an urgent, lifesaving need.”

This Historian Has Seen the Future of Trans Health Care
Jules Gill-Peterson doesn’t want to fight for trans joy. She wants to fight for what trans people really need: resources, hormones, and surgery. Her latest arena? The Supreme Court.

This is worth 3 minutes of your time. No one wants to eat at a restaurant that only serves bland chicken. (It’s not about chicken, or restaurants, tho)

In my opinion, Trump's shift on this issue ("stop raiding farms and hotels") demonstrates the US needs to have an honest conversation about the role of undocumented immigrants in this country. And who constitutes this population. I'm afraid the rhetoric has already poisoned the well.
SCOOP: The Trump admin has abruptly shifted the focus of its mass deportation campaign, telling ICE officials to largely pause raids and arrests in the agricultural industry, hotels and restaurants, according to an internal email and three officials with knowledge.
