Every time I talk about my disability people mention disabled “fakers.” It seems to be the 1st thing they think of. So I decided to memorize some stats to counter this narrative…🧵 (1/?)

110,000 people died waiting for disability approval in the last decade…

Justice Alito's assertion that the Biden administration would not follow a legitimate order from the Court is unwarranted & completely unbefitting a Supreme Court justice.

Folks misunderstand strategy. Having a "perfect" revolution does not exist and has never existed. There have been many class and economic contradictions that NEED TO BE WORKED OUT or we fall into these pitfalls.

How do we get the most people on board to *dismantle* a system?

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Important for news media to not simply label this guy as a “GOP mega donor”. It’s so much worse.

Crow has many interests before the Supreme Court. His groups file petitions before the court. It’s the clearest, most brazen violation of judicial ethics you can imagine.

Lauren Boebert, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Paul Gosar, Matt Gaetz, the rest of the insurrectionists tried to violently overthrow our democracy. They should never have been allowed to stay in Congress. They should have been arrested. Our system is broken.

The idea it's fine to keep high risk people indefinitely stranded at home is immoral & should be completely rejected. Vulnerable people have a right to participate in society too. For that to happen, we all need to mask in public spaces when COVID spread is high. #BringBackMasks

@SquareWordOrg @lukechampine @squarewordorg I love your game, but if you miss a day, it resets your streak. Could you change that, please? It's not always possible to play every day. Thanks for considering it!

This needs to be said: we do not get sick with COVID/colds/flu *because* it’s cold outside, or because our immune system is out of practice, or because we didn’t eat healthy all the time or exercise enough: we get sick when we are exposed to germs and they get inside our bodies.

@MelisandeMarie When I was in college, I wore earplugs even in the library to block out noise. I'm so sensitive, the noise gets in my whole body & irritates me for hours. As my birthday gift, I used to ask for "peace & quiet."

Last night, Toledo City Council approved $800,000 to purchase the medical debt of Toledoans, creating roughly $160-240 million in debt relief.

This is what it looks like when your government works for you. Toledo is leading the way!

Governor Murphy of New Jersey has signed an order that will seal all name changes in to protect transgender citizens. Name Changes will no longer be open to public inspections and will be confidential. Likewise the $50 fee is waived.

I tweeted my thoughts on academics stealing others ideas earlier this year. Then, @Nature invited me to write an article! 😳

I do hope this article serves as a guide for us all on how to be mindful of protecting ours (and others) work https://t.co/HCDPmZC0Ob

Tragedy has once again struck the LGBTQ+ community — sadly, on #TransDayOfRemembrance when we mourn trans people killed by bigotry.

The horrific shooting at Club Q is a call to mourn victims, thank heroic responders, and take more actions to disarm hate and end gun violence. -NP
