Everyone should be fighting for Universal Healthcare and disability rights. Health is fragile. You can become disabled or chronically ill in an instant. It’s not a moral failing. It can wipe out your savings and leave you destitute. Healthcare is a basic human right.
The regime doesn’t want disabled people to vote. 1 in 4 people in the US has a disability. This admin is cutting healthcare & social supports. Talking about us as “useless eaters”. Making it clear they only value the economically active. Disabled people won’t vote for eugenicist fascists:

KEN PAXTON has cost taxpayers of Texas millions and millions of dollars. Corruption!!!! Vote Talarico to end corruption, put money back in your pocket, and take on data centers.
Councils are closing libraries and swimming pools to pay for the ballooning costs of social care -- 53% of their budgets in 2010, now 70%. Burnham wants long term savings from changing the triple lock to help fund a different model. Stephen McNair reports.
“He’s gotta resign. … We have to let our own people and everybody else know why it had to be done—because of what’s on the tape, because he lied.” — White House speechwriter Patrick J. Buchanan to White House chief of staff Alexander M. Haig, August 2, 1974

The subjugation of women is part of a neo-fascist, warrior culture going all the way back to the 1930s. It was on full display during Pete Hegseth’s military speech this week.
Ossoff: The money that they took from you when they slashed Medicaid and defunded hospitals and nursing homes—They’re taking that money to buy corrupt, taxpayer-funded political ads on national television to try to promote the failed and broken president…
Eric Schmitt: Did you or did you not get paid large sums of money to create objects primarily from wrought iron or steel, by forging metals, using tools to hammer, bend, and cut? Jack Smith: No sir, that is a Blacksmith.
Of course Trump’s DOJ wants to recast Nixon as the victim. When your entire brand is “the president can do whatever the fuck he wants,” Watergate needs a rewrite. Next lesson: the Saturday Night Massacre was a team-building exercise, and the cover-up was executive transparency.
USA no longer has Democratic, Constitutional Law or Justice - like tyrannical fascist authoritarian shit-holes Russia, North Korea, NAZI Germany, Stalinist USSR. That, was a prime goal of the illegitimate Putin/Trump/GOP/Project 2025 criminal Corporate Fascists. In other words no one to arrest them.

At least 56 people have died in ICE custody during Trump’s second term. According to ICE’s internal reviews, detention staff did not provide sufficient medical care to at least six of those detainees. ICE has now taken down those reviews from its website. What other cruelty is ICE trying to hide?
