AAPD - The American Association of People with Disabilities @aapd.com · 29/09/2026
The US House of Reps is working to protect community integration. Newly introduced H.Res. 1586 reaffirms that we have a right to exist in our communities.
We have GOOD NEWS about community integration! A bipartisan resolution protecting community living was introduced in the House.H.Res.1586, introduced by Representatives Debbie Dingell (D-MI) and Brian Fitzpatrick 
(R-PA), affirms that the Olmstead decision reflects Congress' intent for people with disabilities to live and receive services in their communities.H.Res. 1586 says plainly: in 1977 and 1978, federal regulations under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act provided that services for people with disabilities must be delivered in the most integrated setting appropriate.This resolution confirms that the integration mandate is the law as written and enacted by Congress.

Attacks on trans ppl are not a niche issue; they’re an attack on America itself. Extremists have made plain that sports are just an entry point, that what’s happening in KA is their ultimate goal Threats to trans ppl’s voting rights in KA are a Mayday alert for *all Americans*

In an incredible move, Saddle Lake Cree Nation in Alberta, Canada has announced a gender-affirming care clinic for trans youth, asserting tribal sovereignty and defying the region's ban. It is one of the biggest cross-movement solidarity moments in Canada. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Endorsement Alert! The long-awaited endorsements of random Democratic voter (and graphic design noodler) Amy Robertson! @senadorajulie.bsky.social @philweiser.bsky.social @seligmanforag.bsky.social @irishalpern.bsky.social (None of the others on Bluesky?)
Julie Gonzales for U.S. Senate. Julie is brilliant, energetic, and determined to do right by her constituents – all of them – rather than the moneyed business interests that prop up the incumbent. Most important to me, she believes healthcare is a right, not a privilege, and will fight for universal healthcare, childcare, and eldercare. Her campaign has reached every corner of the state, while the incumbent is more or less absent; in fact, he doesn’t even want to be a Senator. Julie has been my state Senadora for the past 8 years and I am very excited about what she will do as my U.S. Senadora.  Phil Weiser for Governor and David Seligman for Attorney General.  
I’m grouping these candidates together because I know firsthand how our courts can be used to protect us against the depredations of the current federal administration. 
Phil, as our current AG, has filed numerous lawsuits challenging the administration’s attempts undermine civil rights and sell off our public lands. 
David, as a badass litigator with Towards Justice, has taken to the courts to protect civil, labor, and consumer rights. 
Both candidates are skilled in using the courts to challenge our increasingly fascist federal government and the moneyed interests exploiting the rest of us. They are both exactly the fighters we need in these urgent times.  
Other Jurisdictions In Which I Vote: 
Wanda James for Congress in CD-1  
Amanda Gonzalez for Secretary of State
Chela Garcia Irlando for Colorado Senate District 34
Justine Sandoval for Colorado House District 5
And vote for Iris Halpern for Colorado HD6. I don’t live there, but Iris is amazing. Another badass civil rights litigator who will fight hard for her constituents.

I’m calling on the General Assembly to vote to reconvene for special session to impeach or censure the Governor. Governor Polis commuted Tina Peters’ sentence after the legislative session, likely in an effort to avoid accountability for misconduct. The people of Colorado demand accountability.
