Many of my US friends say that they are coping by not turning on the news. I understand it and don't blame them but I guess this is also how descent into authoritarianism works - most people, understandably, just concentrating on getting by in their lives and in their local community.

Trump has stopped the CDC, NIH & FDA from communicating any info to the public

Cancer research and other grants and programs are on pause

Not to worry! Soon AI can dispense your prescriptions for you!

I think of all the times I’ve had serious medication interactions & errors. This is terrifying

I've seen a lot of people in the US talk about community today. But very few know what that means. Community isn't just you and your friends. It includes disabled people and other marginalized groups. It's masking and taking precautions to protect others. It's caring for others!

Why are disabled people so good at coming together and building community? Because we’re the most familiar with the fact that the government isn’t going to save you. It won’t be there for you in traumatic times. We’ve been saying this for decades. When a disaster happens, all we have is each other.

Unfortunately “just leave meta services” isn’t straightforward for disabled people. Long-existing digital spaces are lifelines. FB has 20k of us with SMA in one space despite geographical, political, and medical barriers. Crowdsourcing medical experiences saves lives for people with rare diseases. 1

If you’re afraid that books might change someone’s thinking, you’re not afraid of books, you’re afraid of thinking.
