#DOJ attorneys haven’t elaborated on how doing so might hamper the portrayal #Trump seeks to present to the public. But overturning policies encompassing #diversity, #equity & #inclusion have become a hallmark of his second admin, starting with his very first week back in the White House.

Total BS

#Trump admin says #SignLanguage services 'intrude' on Trump's ability to control his #image

The Trump admin is arguing that requiring real-time #ASL interpretation of events like White House press briefings “would severely intrude on the President’s prerogative to control the image he presents to the public,” part of a lawsuit seeking to require the White House to provide the services.

People think disability is something you can “try harder” your way out of.

They think it’ll never happen to them, or if it does they will overcome.

They refuse to listen to disabled voices.

They refuse to help build better safety nets.

They refuse to care.

It’s a minority group you can join anytime

Last week Trump called Tim Walz the ‘R slur’.

He then doubled down on it, and now his base have begun harassing the entire Walz family.

Memes are circulating on socials encouraging people to drive past their house and yell it at them.

I’ve been personally called that word more than 1,000 times in the last seven days.

We can’t allow this to happen. The disability community has fought far too hard for far too long to remove that word from the public vernacular.

This is ableism at it’s most ugly, and ableism feeds eugenics and eugenics feeds fascism.

Help us fight back. We are not expendable.

The R Slur Must Never be Normalized

Last week Trump called Walz the 'R slur', and now his base is using it regularly. We must all speak out against this. It's a term that pushes a eugenicist agenda and feeds directly into fascism.
