President Trump’s proposed FY26 “skinny” budget is out—and it’s a direct threat to the disability community. It slashes and eliminates critical programs we depend on. We must pay attention and push back. #DPoP #DisabilityJustice #HandsOff #GetInformed

RFKJ is out there spouting lies and dehumanizing people with autism. We want to hear from you in your own words. For those on the autism spectrum or with family/friends on the spectrum: what do you wish the world knew about people with autism?

In just three months, Trump and DOGE have made moves that are scary, infuriating, and downright alarming. What’s got you most concerned? #DPoP #CripTheLaw

RFK Jr. thinks it’s okay to dig through the private medical records of millions of Americans for his autism 'study'? Nope. #DPoP #DisabilityRights #HandsOffOurData #CripTheLaw

Disability is one of the few minority groups you can join at any time. People believe they will be the exception & have trouble accepting they’re likely to become disabled at some point in their lives. Work on internalized ableism. Engage in disability justice. It will benefit you in the long run

disability issues are human issues because literally every single human being is only temporarily able-bodied

Hey members of the disability community! What questions do you have about the changes President Trump and DOGE have been making? What are your biggest concerns right now? Let’s get the conversation going. #DPoP #RepresentationMatters

Repost if you or someone you know is autistic and has paid taxes, held a job, played basketball, or gone on a date. RFK's harmful rhetoric misrepresents our community. #RepresentationMatters #DPoP

No matter how many EOs Trump signs, they do not become law. Only Congress can pass laws. The ADA is law. This matters to EVERYONE. If you don’t need it now, wait.

The Dept. of Education (ED) enforces IDEA and Section 504, ensuring students with disabilities get the services they need. Without it, who holds states accountable? #EDMatters

Walz: "The idea that the secretary of education would not know what IDEA is -- individuals with disability in education act -- that's like your mechanic not knowing how to put air in your tire. And she's in charge of this nation's education progress. It is catastrophic."

Musk says millions of dead people get Social Security. That's a lie. Here's the truth: 30,000 people die a year waiting for an understaffed Social Security to approve disability benefits. Musk's plan to cut Social Security's staff by 50% will make this tragic reality even worse.

On this day in 2023, we lost Judy Heumann, a pioneering disability rights activist. Her legacy is one we look to and continue to learn from.
Grey gradient background with a black and white photo of Judy Heumann – a white woman with glasses talking into a microphone, sitting in her wheelchair, wearing a sticker that says “Sign 504” – in the bottom right corner. Text at the top reads: Remembering Judy Heumann. In a blue box, white text reads: On this day in 2023, we lost Judy Heumann, a pioneering disability rights activist. Her legacy – from the 504 sit-in to her work to pass other legislation like the ADA – is one that we look to and continue to learn from. There’s a quote on the left side that says, “Our anger was a fury sparked by profound injustices. Wrongs that deserved ire. And with that rage we ripped a hole in the status quo.”

The Trump Administration is targeting federal employees with disabilities by terminating employees still on probation. Schedule A hires face a 2-year probation, double the standard 1-year period for most. #DPoP #Resist #PeopleOverPolitics
