β€œWe’re not talking about disabled people when we say _”

Of course you’re not talking about us, you’re not expecting us to be here when the dust settles.
Do you know what you’ll do for your disabled comrades like myself that are reliant on power to survive? Do we get to be in the commune too?

AZ! ICE has been spotted in several Phoenix locations. They raided an apartment on 43rd and McDowell. Spotted on Roosevelt between Central and 47th Ave, and across Maryvale.

ICE is not your friend. Stay focused, stay community minded. If you see ICE or border patrol in your area, yell β€œLA MIGRA!”

Collagen is not a viable β€œtreatment” for Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. When collagen is digested, it is broken down into amino acids that then cannot be utilized by the body in a specific way that benefits connective tissue disorders, because our bodies genetically do not form collagen correctly. #eds

Did you know that tardive dyskinesia is another common cause of tics and other neurological movements? #disability #chronicillness

Drink/food minimums are an accessibility issue. Door fees are equitable.

I think there’s a dramatic sense of situational irony in the fact that my feeding tube pump that keeps me alive is produced by a weapon manufacturer.

Trump’s tariff policies are going to cause more healthcare supply shortages like the IV shortage. He has no plans to create exemptions for critical medical products to reduce shortages. #ushealthcare #disability #chronicillness

How much is your healthcare without insurance? Conservative estimates for mine would be $8780/month, not counting appointments or hospitalizations.

Formula: $1680
IV hydration: $3600
Prescriptions: $3400
OTC: $100
