“An avidity to punish is always dangerous to liberty. It leads men … to misapply even the best of laws. He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.” #ThomasPaine #NoKings

#medicaidcutskill #ProtectMedicaid Rob's life, like so many others who depend on Medicaid to stay healthy and stay in their communities--it's on the line. Rob had a few things to say about this yesterday: [ID: Mom & dad with Rob as we speak about Medicaid cuts in the Cannon HOB rotunda]

My son Rob and his friends need your support! They rely on Medicaid not only for health care, but to stay in their communities. Please flood the Senate with calls! Thank you!

I’ve worked for decades to support my disabled son’s civil rights & now @govwesmoore.bsky.social has destroyed my trust with his budget that hurts both disabled people & family caregivers. He’s actually laying the groundwork to institutionalize people like Rob. #disability

My thoughts exactly … the bar is so low for #SCOTUS right now—I’m surprised no one is wearing their MAGA hats in this official photo. open.substack.com/pub/borowitz...

Little acts of disobedience: At Barnes & Noble today, I took copies of @anneapplebaum.bsky.social ‘s Autocracy Inc. & put them on top of the Frumpster coffee table books & Melania’s sad dark little book—I could have done the same with Timothy Snyder’s book. #autocracy #dontobeyinadvance

The funny thing about Christian conservatives or nationalists? They always seem to base their theology on the Old Testament, when the Gospels correct and refute quite a bit of the OT. If you don’t center the Gospels in your Christian theology, how, exactly, are you Christian? #HandmaidsTale #weird

My son Rob depends on Medicaid’s Home and Community-Based Services to live at home and stay out of an institution. Home care also costs far less than a facility or institution. #Medicaid

I’m so tired of hearing that our government should be run like a business. It isn’t a business, it’s a public trust. Treat it like one. #government #America

If I could nominate celebrities to Cabinet positions, I think I’d go with the Avengers. Then again, they may be too busy to accept, given they’ll be saving American from itself. But can’t we have Deadpool for Speaker of the House instead of that Johnson guy? He’s no fun. #Cabinet #Avengers #Marvel

So proud to be part of Little Lobbyists leadership! Rob & I have worked hard as part of LL to preserve the ACA, HCBS and other Medicaid services for children with complex medical needs & disabilities.

In this chaotic lull between the election and 1/20/25, I’m focused on self-care & self-compassion. It’s ok to be in a bubble for a bit. If anything, ignoring The Orange T*rd is pushback. I will need all my strength soon. Right now, totally drawn into The Book of Love by @kellylink.bsky.social

When we built our accessible home because our son at age three would use a wheelchair longterm for mobility, we also knew the design, including an elevator, ramps, and accessible tub, would benefit us someday.

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) guarantees students with disabilities the right to a public education with access to specialized instruction and accommodations. Without the oversight of the Dept of Education, disabled students are at risk of losing their right to an education.

My son Rob survives & thrives at home because he has Medicaid: access to great medical care, to DME, to home aides & nurses—and home care is less expensive than institutional care. Rob is an advocate & artist, making a difference in his community. #SaveMedicaid #HCBS @littlelobbyists.bsky.social

"Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence" is a hell of an oxymoron.

Honestly none of these cabinet positions will stick for 4yrs. His favorite thing is to fire people.
