“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

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

I’m worried about all of us. I don’t know how this will all play out, but the length of the legislative process gives us some time to get critical things taken care of. And we need to fight back.

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

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

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.

Look at the age of the Senate—in 2006, Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) said his staff explained the internet to him as “a series of tubes.” How many Senators actually know how to navigate social media themselves? Hard to say. Almost none of them are digital natives.

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.

Maybe. I think that the left is reorganizing. The social media playing field has changed. We’re finding each other again elsewhere. And some of us (me included) are tired of listening to the opinions of talking heads and pundits on TV. New messaging takes a little time.

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

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