[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

No one elected Elon Musk.

As Donald Trump allows Musk to access people’s personal information and shut down government funding, Republicans in Washington will also own the consequences.

We must do everything in our power to push back and protect people from harm.

I’ll be on bluesky - same handle. See you there!

[Kirstie Innes-Will @kiweditor]

@SquigglyRick Thank you, Rick! Reading terrifying stuff daily in disability communities online.

Don Watson on US lessons for Albo:

"I'd advise him to move up to Coffs Harbour immediately and get a job mowing lawns... He had a lot of political capital when he got elected and he's burnt the lot with very little to show for it."

Says Labor must work out what they stand for

[Kylie Brakeman @deadeyebrakeman]

I can’t believe “they’re eating the dogs” was a REBUTTAL to “You say weird stuff at your rallies”

@NickFeik Crying literal tears 😂

[Kirstie Innes-Will @kiweditor]

@thebooksdesk Omg nope don’t do it!

[Yuh-Line Niou @yuhline]

When someone changes the world and then leaves it better than he found it for everyone else just because he was in it….
Rest in power, Steve Silberman. Thank you for telling your story and our stories. ❤️

Please read and spread this link: Why Nicole Shahanan, RFK Jr.'s running mate, is so dangerous for disabled people like her own daughter, and how she's playing into one of the darkest chapters of the Kennedy legacy. My new column for @SciAm. https://t.co/FJae58IckW

@NickFeik How’s his conveniently adopted Christianity going?

We Can't Unify around Fascism

@jenniferdown Don’t get too excited. The only thing I’ve ever got out of Carer Gateway was a teabag. They literally sent ONE TEABAG. Very patchy service. Hope you find it better.

@yasmin_poole Oh Yasmin, that is so sad (but undersrandable)

[marquelawyers @marquelawyers]

The simple explanation for Labor blowing itself up over Senator Payman is that people who think only in political terms cannot imagine that anyone ever acts purely in conscience; therefore, her action is only comprehensible to them as disloyalty - a political choice.

[Kirstie Innes-Will @kiweditor]

@jocaseau Ah i see. That sounds like a different issue entirely

[Kirstie Innes-Will @kiweditor]

@jocaseau Is it complex? IMHO if you’re not prepared to have a disabled (or queer) kid you shouldn’t have kids. As no matter how they were conceived this is a possible outcome. It’s straight up ableism.

[The Saturday Paper @SatPaper]

Exclusive: Cost-saving reforms to the NDIS will allow debts to be raised against disabled people and give extraordinary new powers to cancel support entirely, reports @SquigglyRick. https://t.co/pv8eVl8qZ5

"Mothers of disabled children are disproportionately excluded from the labour market. Just 16% of mothers with disabled children work, compared with 61% of other mothers." - this stat via the Guardian today (though it's quite old, 2005). I have so many thoughts on this
