We have quite literally seen BILLIONS cut from the social security budget since 2010. What has been achieved? More poverty and hardship, more young people out of work, worse health. There is now deep structural inequality which is being ignored in favour of more cuts.

Mind, Mencap and the National Autistic Society have warned that the Supreme Court ruling removing the Cheshire West framework could strip vital safeguards from many disabled people who lack capacity and are not free to leave their care settings.

This is about liberty, dignity, advocacy and protection from closed cultures.

Silence is not consent.

@dennismhogan Love that she says directly after it's because she's actually a liberal, so it's actually ideological.

Making the subtext just text right away.

@AnMailleach I know there is an eager online audience for borderline conspiracy-theory content about NGOs but about 5 seconds of googling taught me this is apparently an error and the vast majority were individual submissions

@MailchimpHelp @Mailchimp all emails I send via you seem to have harmful links on any browser I attempt to use and this seems to have been an issue with the last two campaigns I made

When the Scottish Government replaced Personal Independence Payment (PIP) in 2022, it set out to do things differently.

Although the new benefit has the same criteria and is paid at the same rate, it was designed for “dignity, fairness and respect”.

Someone from the Daily Caller sharing this is very on the nose, because their viewpoints being platformed by people who agree with Jon are a large part of how we got here.

[Jason Cohen 🇺🇸 @JasonJournoDC]

🚨NEW: Jon Stewart:

"I’ve got people in my family that are to the right of Attila the Hun. And when people tell me, like, 'How can you platform that person on your show?' I go, 'I platform my uncle every f*cking Thanksgiving.'"

"And by the way, I love him. He’s a three-dimensional human being who has qualities that I really admire — things about him."

"And we’ve lost that. We’ve lost the ability to love people because we litmus test at every point, in every single moment."
