President Trump’s proposed FY26 “skinny” budget is out—and it’s a direct threat to the disability community. It slashes and eliminates critical programs we depend on. We must pay attention and push back. #DPoP #DisabilityJustice #HandsOff #GetInformed

RFKJ is out there spouting lies and dehumanizing people with autism. We want to hear from you in your own words. For those on the autism spectrum or with family/friends on the spectrum: what do you wish the world knew about people with autism?

In just three months, Trump and DOGE have made moves that are scary, infuriating, and downright alarming. What’s got you most concerned? #DPoP #CripTheLaw

RFK Jr. thinks it’s okay to dig through the private medical records of millions of Americans for his autism 'study'? Nope. #DPoP #DisabilityRights #HandsOffOurData #CripTheLaw

Disability is one of the few minority groups you can join at any time. People believe they will be the exception & have trouble accepting they’re likely to become disabled at some point in their lives. Work on internalized ableism. Engage in disability justice. It will benefit you in the long run

disability issues are human issues because literally every single human being is only temporarily able-bodied

Hey members of the disability community! What questions do you have about the changes President Trump and DOGE have been making? What are your biggest concerns right now? Let’s get the conversation going. #DPoP #RepresentationMatters

Repost if you or someone you know is autistic and has paid taxes, held a job, played basketball, or gone on a date. RFK's harmful rhetoric misrepresents our community. #RepresentationMatters #DPoP

No matter how many EOs Trump signs, they do not become law. Only Congress can pass laws. The ADA is law. This matters to EVERYONE. If you don’t need it now, wait.

The Trump Regime has deleted DOJ guidance to businesses on complying with the Americans With Disabilities Act. 25% of Americans live with a disability. Trump cannot delete the ADA, and he cannot delete disabled Americans. We are not going back to asylums and sanitariums.

Senator Bill Cassidy is planning to propose a bill to help Trump shut down ED! Call him NOW and tell him you oppose his actions. Ask how he plans to support more than 7.5 MILLION students with disabilities nationwide. 📞 (202) 224-3121 #DPoP #ProtectOurStudents

The Dept. of Education (ED) enforces IDEA and Section 504, ensuring students with disabilities get the services they need. Without it, who holds states accountable? #EDMatters

Walz: "The idea that the secretary of education would not know what IDEA is -- individuals with disability in education act -- that's like your mechanic not knowing how to put air in your tire. And she's in charge of this nation's education progress. It is catastrophic."

The ADA was won after a series of battles. This was one of them. 🖤🖤🖤

Today is the 35th anniversary of the Capitol Crawl, in which disabled activists discarded their mobility aids at the foot of the Capitol steps to climb them in support of passage of the Americans with Disabilities Ac. Jennifer Keelan-Chaffins, 8, told reporters "I'll take all night if I have to!"

The cuts to the Department of Education are cruel and illegal. This department provides vital services and funding to schools of all levels in all 50 states that are now in jeopardy.

The recent cuts to the Department of Education are only the beginning, and the impact on students with disabilities will be devastating. Our organization is ready to help, if there’s a way we can support, please reach out. #DPoP #DisabilityRights

We know the reduction in force targeted Office for Civil Rights offices in Cleveland, SF, Chicago, Boston, Dallas, & Philly. Students & teachers need us to keep fighting until these offices are reopened & staff are back to work supporting our kids. #DPoP #EdDept

We condemn the Trump Admin’s decision to lay off half of the Department of Education. This will harm students with disabilities. We want to hear from current and former employees, students, and families, let’s protect our education system. #DPoP #StudentswithDisabilities

📣 ATTENTION CDC AND FEDS 📣 We want to use this platform to amplify stories about what federal workers do, why they do it, and how firings affect that work and the American people. Please DM your stories to us on bluesky or signal (altcdc.99). Stories will be kept anonymous. #SeeCDC #fedstrong

Thank you, @duckworth.senate.gov and @kim.senate.gov for your efforts to protect veterans terminated from the federal government. We must keep mobilizing as a community to pass similar legislation for federal employees with disabilities. #DPoP

The Department of Education plays a crucial role in supporting students with disabilities. We must protect it! Our community deserves equal access to education and resources. #DPoP #SaveTheDeptOfEd #DisabilityRights #EducationForAll

We want to hear from YOU! What should the advocacy priorities be for the disability community? Help us shape our organization’s future! #DPoP #DisabilityRights #Advocacy

Less than a month until Disabled & Hilarious hits the stage! Don't miss out on the laughs – grab your tickets now! #DPoP #Comedy #DisabledAndHilarious #DPoP#GetYourTickets

Musk says millions of dead people get Social Security. That's a lie. Here's the truth: 30,000 people die a year waiting for an understaffed Social Security to approve disability benefits. Musk's plan to cut Social Security's staff by 50% will make this tragic reality even worse.

Today marks the anniversary of Judy Heumann’s passing. For many of us, Judy was a mentor, friend, advocate, and connector whose memory continues to guide our work. We remain dedicated to preserving and advancing her legacy. #DPoP #MarchFourth
