And hey, start with wearing a mask so you can stand with disabled and chronically ill people already being targeted by the administration. Go back for the people you’ve already left behind.

President Trump has opened the throttle on blowing through apparent legal limits, often with no clear public explanation for how their actions could be consistent with the rule of law. Here are some examples of the administration’s defiance of statutes. nyti.ms/4aKnKRP

Commentary: "Americans rely on government to protect us — or at the very least do us no harm. But for Trump, this duty as protector in chief is always subordinate to an insatiable need for aggrandizement, to paint himself as the bold actor, and the strong man."
Trump Drains California's Most Precious Resource for a Photo Op

Anyone can become disabled in an instant, you could wake up disabled tomorrow. The ease with which you will be discarded will be shocking. Not just from society at large, but also from friends and family.
If you are abled you should be angry about the rampant ableism, because you're on bided time

As Chair of the HIV/AIDS Caucus, let me be clear: erasing HIV/AIDS content from government websites helps literally no one. It endangers public health and abandons those who rely on these critical resources. Reckless and stupid.

Bravo to Sen. Alsobrooks for her question.
“We should not be giving Black people the same vaccine schedule as Whites because their immune system is better than ours.” — RFK Jr
This is the deadlier version of the racist myth that Black people feel less pain, leading to denied pain meds.

NIH funding supports the vast majority of all biomedical research in the United States. Virtually every advance in American medicine and biological science comes from NIH. This is a blow against American science.

In these days of open fascism, the language we use matters more than ever:
Using ableist and sanist language does the fascists jobs for them.
After 5 years of disabled people pleading with you to see how ableism and eugenics pave the way to fascism— please listen to us NOW, at least.
Do better.
