Republicans don't believe in the separation of Church and State. They do, however, believe in the separation of Jesus and Christianity.

When your neighbor on the left is being dragged away by masked men and your neighbor on the right can't get an X-ray for their child, be sure to quickly explain that "both parties are the same" and whatnot.

It's at 3131 Olympic Blvd, Santa Monica, CA 90404. If you're taking the Metro E Line into Santa Monica get off at the Bergamot/26th street station. The theater's about half a mile to the east. If you're planning on protesting outside the theater, wear a hat. There's not much shade.

"Out of the Ashes" is a cozy fairy-tale retelling, based on "The Wonderful Birch" which is an early Cinderella variant. It's told from the POV of three women, and is set in a fictionalized Settlement-era ("viking") Iceland. www.smashwords.com/books/view/1257642 #BookSky #Smashwords

It’s wanting to abolish Section 504, wanting to cut Medicare, wanting to get rid of DEIA, wanting to stop people working from home. All of this will kill disabled people. When we tell you that pandemics lead to fascism, this is what we mean. When you excuse our deaths, these policies are pushed.

"$880 billion in Medicaid cuts" is just erasing Medicaid entirely. It's more than the total the federal government spent on Medicaid in Fiscal Year 2023. Source: KFF www.kff.org/medicaid/iss...

Overall, Medicaid spending totaled $880 billion in FFY 2023 with the federal government paying 69% ($606 billion) and states paying 31% ($274 billion). This share is slightly higher than historic shares due to the enhanced pandemic match rate, but there is variation across states (Figure 5).

Happy Valentine's Day. Disabled ppl receiving sub-poverty level govt income assistance still don't have marriage/relationship equality. Disability rates are tied to total household income which = callbacks & often forces us to be totally financially dependent on those we live with, leading to abuse.

If they cut #Medicaid and require people to work to get it And you're not on #SSI or #SSDI but are still disabled And you live in a state that allows you to have a medical waiver signed by a doctor How do you get the waiver without having Medicaid?? (rhetorical, I know the answer)

Something you can do to stand against RFK jr’s attempt to make us all sicker is wear a mask when you share air with others. Resist mask bans. People who cannot afford to get sick have a right to exist in public. Masking will protect your health from him too.

Disabled people have been sounding the alarm about fascism for five years now. Pandemics lead to fascism. They excuse the deaths of the most vulnerable first. How do you not become vulnerable like us? Wear a mask! If you become disabled from Covid, they’ll excuse your death too.

Use alt text. Use alt text. USE ALT TEXT. It makes your images accessible. It allows people to mute words. It makes it so people won’t reply “who is that”??? It improves your descriptive writing skills. It includes more people, which means more engagement. It takes just a few extra seconds.

Don't forget to include disabled people in your resistance. The more revolutionary you become, the more likely you'll join the disability community. To fight back and get out alive is almost always to become disabled in some way. Disabled people know how to adapt and fight continuously. You need us.
