Oh @eater, do you realize how much preparation sick, chronically ill and disabled people do before going out to eat? Looking at menus is an access issue.

As someone has difficulty swallowing, I look for menus that has a range of textures so I can actually enjoy my time out

Three disabled women have joined the @womensmarch board. We hope to continue to push for greater inclusion of disabled people as the Women’s March continues to galvanize progressive activists. #CripTheVote

[Women's March @womensmarch]

We’ve cultivated the leadership of grassroots organizers across the country to make Women’s March a leaderful movement, and now we’re growing. We couldn’t be more excited to announce our new board who will continue moving Women’s March forward.

The founder of Autism Speaks, a bullshit charity that harms autistic people, is RIGHT NOW working with this regime to figure out ways to lock us up as a way to avoid talking about GUN CONTROL.

I’m begging you, speak up when you hear people accept this.

White House: We want to illegally survey ppl w/ mental health disabilities vi their phone.
