It’s 4am - still debating the Republicans’ billionaire tax giveaway.
We offered an amendment to say no tax cut for those making over $10m. Every Republican voted no.
So we tried $100m. Every Republican voted no.
So we tried $500m! Every Republican a no.
See what’s going on?
We have raised $7,655.38 to fund nearly 80 wheelchairs! Swipe to see the chair in action! Each wheelchair means a person can go to school, work, or simply move around their community with dignity.
There's still time to make an impact: https://t.co/J9MUYgT1Cd
So many others like Samson are still waiting for their "wings to fly." Will you choose to give the gift of mobility today? Any gift or fundraiser share helps!
Classy fundraiser: https://t.co/J9MUYgT1Cd
As we near $7,000 donated (!!!!), I want to share Samson's story: https://t.co/yxrqU0Cu54. He received a wheelchair through @FWMission and is able to attend school, spend time with friends, and enjoy life as any of us would wish to do. Giving link in reply!
One small chair for my bookcase, one giant leap for accessibility! 🚀 Thanks to your generosity, we've raised $5,705 with the match, funding 59 wheelchairs! That's only $55 shy of my goal for the year 🙏 Let's roll on past that goal!!! ♿💙

Excited to share the closing op-ed I wrote for "The Independent Issue" of Pattern Magazine ✨ Special thanks to vol. 26 managing editor, Jenny Walton, for giving me the freedom to write a message slightly perpendicular to the main theme 📷 Get a copy: https://t.co/CjpY1I6Wka.
My bestie Anna & I have tried to get tix to this from the start, but never got a chance. Finding ADA seats as a wheelchair-user is so hard. From my "Feeling 32" birthday to the Eras Tour Movie, we'd love the chance to finally sing along with the queen herself irl. #ForTheShoe
TAYLOR SWIFT TICKETS---4 for Sat. night, Nov. 2. ONE WINNER, will also buy dinner at Wisanggeni Pawon on E. 71st St. Retweet this & TELL ME WHY IT SHOULD BE YOU. Must incl. hashtag #ForTheShoe🙂 Fri. NOON deadline. Will be many worthy entries, but I can only pick one! ✌��
@JimIrsay Getting wheelchair accessible seats to the Eras Tour has thus far been impossible, but I'd love to attend with my bestie in our very own city! Indy! :D
@LastWeekTonight Good episode. There is a relatively new thing called an ABLE account that allows disabled people to keep benefits and have some savings (with stipulations). Please do a followup telling people about this important program they might be eligible for! https://t.co/QI4yQxnGWo
BREAKING: Despite widespread support for clemency based on serious doubts about the integrity of Marcellus Williams’ conviction and death sentence, @GovParsonMO has denied clemency to Marcellus, who is scheduled to be executed tomorrow at 6 p.m. CT. https://t.co/E59wbuj6UR
@edoballerini This is happening as I'm listening to Emily Gould's article on The Cut. I think it may be @justjuliawhelan's voice, but it doesn't list her. Last year when I tried to figure out who read "The End of the English Major," it took me forever to find your name. You all deserve credit.
The latest update has me flying!!!! ✈️✈️✈️

If you haven't made a gift yet, would you please consider doing so? $96 covers the manufacture and delivery of one chair: https://t.co/J9MUYgStMF
80 million people need wheelchairs, but don't have them. For my 40th birthday fundraiser, will you make a gift of $40 to @FWMission for disabled people to receive the gift of mobility? Every $96 covers the manufacture and delivery of one chair. Thank you! https://t.co/J9MUYgStMF
@Eric_Conn @MadisonKittay Jesus would never call Mary Magdalene (or anyone) a "used mattress." What a degrading term to use for any human made in the image of God. Do you believe these are words & attitude of a man filled with the Holy Spirit? Jesus did have a problem with many religious leaders though.
