I'm tired of journalists covering disability issues so poorly. Is it wilful ignorance? Because I just can't explain the lack of knowledge when there is so much data available and so many experts to speak with. Genuinely baffling why the reporting is so dreadful.

The Wife's Bestie here. It is with a heavy heart that I must report that Victoria passed away yesterday morning. It was a gentle and peaceful ending to her long fight against cancer. She loved her X community and I hope she will be remembered here. Please remember her in your

THREAD. A lot of attention is rightly going to Medicaid cuts and other very bad things in Trump's bill passed in the House, but there's something that isn't getting attention, that is difficult to find in any news coverage, but that will fundamentally alter life for all of us.

The bill provides $160 billion in border/immigration funding in next 4.5 years. It's hard to describe the unprecedented scope of this, but I'll try: tens of thousands of armed agents in every corner of society are going to be nearly immune from state prosecution or civil suits.

This article describes it more, but I want to focus on a few things. First, when you build infrastructure like this and create new jobs/pensions for right-wing unions, it's hard to ever remove them. A new gestapo could become a permanent feature of life. wola.org/analysis/160-b…

Such very sad news, Victoria was a fierce advocate for journalism and disability rights, she helped and supported many online and off I always enjoyed logging on and seeing her posts, the last few years were so hard for her, sending much love to her loved ones

Just to say as one of the few disabled journalists in the UK who works in independent media, I want to tell disabled people's stories the way they should be told. PLEASE contact me

“COVID vaccines reduce the risk of becoming sick, developing long COVID and becoming hospitalized, for everyone. COVID continues to spread and cause harm. Limiting access to vaccines is an anti-science move that will kill more Americans.” - me in HuffPost huffpost.com/entry/covid-sh…

There are so many things to grieve every day, but the thing that has surprised me in my own grief is that I've found myself grieving the loss of what I thought this world maybe still had in it and grieving the realization of just how much barbarity and Evil underpins our society

As Trump ships innocent people off to South Sudan, El Salvador, and Mexico, he’s also ignoring judges who are ordering him to stop. These wrongful deportations must end. I offered an amendment to freeze anti-immigrant legislation until they do.

An investigation in Phoenix marked the first time the DOJ had found the rights of homeless people were routinely violated. Now the department is closing its investigation and retracting findings of constitutional violations. propublica.org/article/phoeni…

Trump’s ICE has detained a Washington State legal permanent resident returning from vacation who has lived in the U.S. for 28 years. These attacks on those with legal status are unacceptable and must stop. Release Maximo Londonio NOW. newsweek.com/maximo-londoni…

I’ll never forgive or forget the people who did this, the people who enabled this, the people who apologized for this, and the people who ignored this.

Between vaccine restrictions, mask bans, threats to Medicaid and a measles surge, there’s never been a more important time to protect your health. My article on respirators looks at how to choose a mask, how to fit test, why you should be masking & more disabledginger.com/p/were-witness…

Children are bearing the brunt of Israel's bombardment, says a doctor who is volunteering in Gaza's remaining hospitals. democracynow.org/2025/5/22/the_…

So shameful that the debate has become whether something should be called this or that while actual crimes against humanity are happening in Gaza and no one is seriously trying to stop them.

Israel's plan to handle the distribution of aid in Gaza via a U.S. private contractor is a key part of its plan to ethnically cleanse its population. Here's how. mondoweiss.net/2025/05/israel…
