When people got their relief checks from the American Rescue Plan, they got to feel like government was looking out for them.
Imagine how tens of millions of Americans would feel after we cancel $50,000 in student loan debt.
@jmhenner@KelbyBrick I am a part of systems of oppression...I know this. You also don’t know me or it seems much about the hybridity of Coda identity. I have hearing and Coda privilege period. And I am not hearing...and people have the right to identify as they so choose.
@jmhenner@KelbyBrick What about cultural transmission? Norms, behaviors, beliefs, values? I am not deaf, I am not hearing...I am a Coda= someone who has a hybridity of shared modes of life and languages of both communities (deaf and hearing).
@jmhenner@KelbyBrick This is where we will have to agree to disagree. “Hearing” often represents a system of oppression, please don’t lump all Codas into that group. Many of us strive along our communities and families to fight back against hearing oppression.
@jmhenner@KelbyBrick Sure! And....Codas are not “only” hearing people. I would imagine you would not want to be seen only for your dB status. Coda are products of Deaf parents/families and Coda bodies are resistance to eugenics. Why can’t we celebrate visibility together?
Sunday is the 25th anniversary of Mother Father Deaf Day!!!! Celebrating Deaf parents everywhere and the rich legacy of language and culture they bestow on their children and our communities. Have a story about your parents? Post here or share with #SorensonStrong and tag us!
@jmhenner This!! It is a violation of trust and the code of conduct for interpreters, absolutely a conflict of interest AND she should have never have accepted this given her affiliations with the MAGA group and the right wing propaganda that she pushed on the Deaf community.
While today’s terrible display of terror and meanness shakes us, let’s remember: @ossoff, Jewish son of an immigrant & @ReverendWarnock, first Black Senator from Georgia, will join a Catholic POTUS & the first woman, Black + Indian VP in our nation’s capital. God bless America.
@GovInslee While I am grateful -my wedding is on 8/8, do you know how much stress some brides had to go thru with moving up their weddings when you said the 6th originally? One week ago, venues were called and frantically flooded with requests, cancelations, & yet it wasn’t even necessary.
Change happens when millions of people stand up and demand it. Women’s rights, civil rights, LGBTQ rights, and workers’ rights were all advanced through collective struggle.
