Please read this thread. And understand why forceful, vocal, relentless advocacy for severely disabled American workers is essential RIGHT NOW. We are ‘the first’ in the rubric of “And first they came for…” Protecting us now will help prevent them from coming for you next.
DISABLED LIVES MATTER.

Please understand why disabled American workers like Peter & me emphasize the devastating impact on SSDI beneficiaries. Do you know just how severely ill or injured you have to be to qualify? We had to demonstrate, through an EXHAUSTIVE process, that we were “unable to perform ANY job… 1/x

Ugh oh man.... That is such a mess for people on SSI/SSDI because... Like...

The government needs that info to get our money to us. Our money we fought YEARS and jumped through legal hoops to get.

We are probably going to lose it all anyway, but...

Suggestion to Americans: If you used a current bank account with funds on a recent tax return, it may be wise to contact your bank and request a change. Account and routing numbers are accessible, and Elon Musk’s staff have access to this information. Stay safe and protect your assets.

Senate Republicans are trying to jam through their “Big Beautiful Bill" that would kick 17 MILLION people off of their health care.

I’m on the Senate floor to say NO.

🧵(1/3)

Excerpted fr/ WaPo:
In the first 48 hours of his second term, President Donald Trump moved to eviscerate the surviving remnants of affirmative action, swiftly upending decades of policy — actions observers say are sure to touch every aspect of American life. Get a curated selection of 10 of our best stories in your inbox every weekend. The newly signed executive orders to end “illegal discrimination” and restore “merit to government service” were so sweeping and aggressive that even conservative activists — ones who had been waging a multipronged attack to end diversity initiatives in the private and public sectors — were shocked by their scope and intensity. “I can’t believe he’s going this far,” said Dan Lennington, deputy counsel at the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty, which for years has led a relentless legal campaign to invalidate diversity programs. “It still is sinking in, because I’m thinking of all the ways in which this affects the average American.” The flurry of executive orders was meant to put a hard stop to diversity, equity and inclusion programs (DEI) throughout the federal government. The administration ordered U.S.-run diversity offices to close and scores of their workers to be put on administrative leave by Wednesday. It also suspended dozens of contracting programs aimed at minorities and women, some of which have been operating for decades.

You can’t make this up ..

#ElonMusk retweeting seems to imply he doesn’t think #Disabled or those with #SightLoss actually #Protest .. or he’s planning to target .

Disabled people already live under extreme systems of oppression. Depriving disabled students a certificate of completion for k-12 school makes kids even more vulnerable to the systems of oppression. If you take every single opportunity away from disabled people and deprive them from even the simplest of things that can help them succeed, then what do you think will happen to them? (It sounds like harm is the ultimate goal)

A good explainer on the Equal Employment Opportunity order felon34 reversed.

#MAGAFascism #DEI #DisabledAmericans #Discrimination #Bigotry #Misogyny #Racism

🧵(1/3)

Excerpted fr/ WaPo:
As part of his directives targeting diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives (DEI), President Donald Trump revoked a landmark executive order signed by Lyndon B. Johnson to prevent discrimination in government employment and advance racial equality. Union leaders and labor advocates have decried the move, with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's three Democratic members saying in a joint statement that rescinding the 1965 order will remove “a source of protection against discrimination for the millions of Americans working for companies that receive federal dollars." "We should be standing up for working Americans, not weakening their civil rights," the members said, noting that the principles of Johnson's Executive Order 11246 “have stood the test of time and remained in place through both Democratic and Republican administrations." Here's what to know about Executive Order 11246 and Trump's reversal: What is the Equal Employment Opportunity order Trump reversed? Executive Order 11246 directed federal contractors to take “affirmative action” to end discrimination at their firms and gave the Labor Department enforcement authority over violations found by the EEOC. It was one in a series of laws and executive orders that codified the employment protections that have existed for the American workforce for decades.. The policy was considered a major step in the federal government's effort to foster racial equality, coming one year after Johnson signed into law the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which created the EEOC, tasked with eliminating unlawful employment discrimination in the private and public sectors. It eventually led to the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972, which expanded the reach and authority of the EEOC. Subsequent laws and executive orders built upon these policies, extending employment protections to not just race, sex, color, religion and national origin, but also sexual orientation, gender identity, disability and status as a protected veteran.

More than his outrageous recreational drug abuse, (f)#elon has #DisabledAmericans and the many different classes of medically prescribed pharmaceutical assistances they may need. #RecreationalDrugAbusers & #SUDs are commonly ignorant re:efficacious ADA medical treatments.

Trump revoked an anti-discrimination hiring rule. Here’s what it means.
Lyndon B. Johnson’s Executive Order 11246, promoting affirmative action in federal contracting, was among the number of DEI policies targeted by the president.

Part 3: they're now listing off all the requirement to get help now for disability which is already had to get but they're going to make it even harder because of lack of funding. You'll need a referral #disability #disabilities #disabledamericans

I'm at my appointment at the disability office and they're in a zoom call because government wants to pull funding. They're figuring out if they really need ramps and special desks. I'm disgusted. I can hear the entire thing. #disability #disabledamericans

Trump and his vile administration wants the disabled to work. One big problem, his policies are against DEI hires.
He wants to eliminate all DEI hires.
