Jesus ate supper with: sinners, tax collectors, sex workers, & pious religious authorities. The LAST supper he had was with all the dudes who were about to screw him. Yet the church is like, "the most important thing is to not let the "wrong people" come to the Lord's Supper"?

[Dan Price @DanPriceSeattle]

it's always "freeloading workers need to give up their $300 unemployment checks" and never "freeloading corporations need to give up their $1.9 trillion in tax breaks"

Can we finally except that standardized testing doesn’t benefit any student or organization except the company that creates the vast majority of these tests?

Restaurant employee to me a wheelchair user:”Can I help you get in?”
Me:”Do you have a ramp?”
Employee:”Don’t need one. I’ll get you up the step.”
Me:”No, thanks. I’ll be back when you’re accessible.”

Nondisabled people don’t get to define access.
Carrying someone is not access.

[Shona @shonalouiseblog]

PSA: saying that someone doesn’t let their disability hold them back is not the compliment you think it is. No one ‘lets’ their disability hold them back, societies inaccessibility is the issue, not us.

The 15-year-old just called out Bobby Flay on @CBSSunday. “He sounds like Marie Antoinette, suggesting people recreate the Feast of Seven Fishes for Christmas. Cool story bro, most people are trying to make rent this year, not source fresh squid.”

The ability to dig down deep for energy you didn’t know you had to do what needed to be done. That’s magic. You know what else is magic? Knowing that you have absolutely zero spoons left and asking someone for help. That’s the bravest magic of all.

I have been on many rounds of steroids in my life. Particularly dexamethasone. You do not stop taking that drug abruptly. There must be a taper off period. You don’t just stop taking dexamethasone. The liar in chief strikes again.

Productivity tips from nondisabled people are like:

- just don't have chronic pain
- just don't have chronic fatigue
- just don't have ADHD or executive dysfunction
- simply obtain a new body and brain

No wonder he’s trying to take away our healthcare. This idiot believes you can simply “Will“ Your way out of chronic illness and disability. Take it from me, you absolutely cannot. I’m sure all that free healthcare he got didn’t help at all. Jerk!

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

President Trump can claim he wants to protect people with pre-existing conditions all he wants — but the fact is he’s fighting tooth and nail to take their protections away.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Endless wars have cost $6.4 trillion.

Tax breaks for the top 1% & corporations cost over $1 trillion.

We are now spending $740 billion a year on the military - more than the next 11 nations combined.

Please don't tell me we can't afford Medicare for All or the Green New Deal.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Donald Trump said he wanted to be a cheerleader for the country. We didn't need a cheerleader. We needed a president.
