While scrolling through social media saw an awesome shirt that said something like, “I work, I play baseball” and something about superpower. It was a play on RFK’s blatant ableism. But now I can’t find it. Anyone seen anything like this?

Imagine you could get the cost of your car covered by insurance, but first you’d have to provide you needed it to brush your teeth, dress, or eat at home. Sound ridiculous? It is. Yet this is the reality for disabled individuals with Medicare who need a wheelchair. HTTPS://bit.ly/426CR3U

The Trump administration quietly removed a ban on segregated facilities in government contracts.

The U.S. government no longer explicitly prohibits contractors from having segregated facilities, including restaurants, restrooms, and drinking fountains.

Trump and his regime are more than willing..

Scapegoating disabled people for an air tragedy… “psychologically superior”?

I don't think we can share the side-by-side of Elon Musk doing the Nazi salute next to Nazis doing the Nazi salute enough.

Disabled and senior people constitute the highest number of deaths in climate disasters like wildfires and flooding due to poor planning and lack of investment by the govt.

Before Gaetz stepped down I told Jason, “Watch - Trump is playing us all. He’s nominating these outrageous people to make his real nominees more palatable when the others withdraw.”

There are a lot of practices in medicine that discriminate against disabled people. ASAN believes disabled lives are worth living. Doctors need to focus on making our lives better instead of acting like we are better off dead.
