This week we will mark fifty years of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
Now is the time to strengthen and fully fund IDEA—not deprioritize and devalue our students with disabilities #IDEA50

Inclusion isn't optional—it's a civil right. IDEA guarantees students with disabilities can learn in the least restrictive environment alongside their peers. https://action.momsrising.org/sign/Disability_Education_cuts/?source=bsky.mr #IDEA50 #MomSky

Let’s be clear—America’s public service workers are our nurses, teachers, firefighters, librarians, postal workers, park rangers, air traffic controllers, and countless others who dedicate their lives to keeping our society running. They chose public service over becoming rich.

so special ed programs are getting gutted because their internal documentation used the term "transition" when talking about helping disabled kids enter the working world. they're literally striking at that word wherever they see it.
the richest man in the world has decided that your kids don't deserve special education programs

In this day and age, living in a place that
- you like,
- you can afford,
- you can find a job,
- you have family/friends,
- you feel safe, and
- you *are* safe from natural disasters/bad laws/worse
is luxury and privilege. Almost no one gets to check all the boxes.
So maybe don’t be an asshole.

Hot take but I think the shooting of a health insurance CEO shouldn't only be a concern of the wealthy. It signals a failure of progressives to organize a movement powerful enough to achieve public healthcare, which is a frightening indictment going into four years of even harder organizing terrain.
