Time is running out to fight the New York mask ban!

They’re to sneak it into the budget, and once again folks are claiming it’s “fine” because there’s a medical exemption

These bans criminalize masks, Including medical masks like N95s

Medical exemptions are NOT the answer

Alberta to claw back federal disability benefit from AISH recipients
The federal government is rolling out a new Canada Disability Benefit this summer but qualified recipients in Alberta won’t see the extra money if they already receive payments under AISH, or Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped program.

Man kann von Jens Spahn wirklich nicht allzu viel halten. Ich persönlich verachte diese Person zutiefst, aus sehr vielen Gründen. Als ich ihn vor ein paar Wochen in einer Talkrunde sah, hatte er recht, als er sagte, dass er die Überraschung über Trump nicht versteht.⬇️

Eine Nahaufnahme meines Oberkörpers. Ich trage einen roten Blazer mit einem floralen Muster. Außerdem ein schwarzes Top und goldenen Schmuck. In der rechten Bildhälfte steht ein Text mit schwarzen Text und weißen Rand. Dort steht: Ich werde nie verstehen, wie Menschen über die USA sprechen und sich darüber amüsieren können. Einerseits gibt es unzählige Menschen weltweit, deren Schicksal von dieser verachtenswerten Politik abhängt. Andererseits ist der rechtsextreme und extrem religiöse Kulturkampf um die Deutungshoheit nicht cis männlicher und nicht normativer Körper längst zu uns nach Europa gekommen. Der Feminismus muss sich ein Stück radikalisieren und aufhören Abwehrkämpfe zu führen. Wir müssen in eine intersektionale und soziale Offensive kommen.

I had every Confidence Starmer's Labour would fuck this up, guess we're back to taking our own lives, messily and without medical oversight.

Oh, are you telling me this Government gives a fuck about Disabled people? You telling me this...today?!

Considering Starmer cared for his Disabled ma, had a Disabled brother until recently....he is really sticking it to Carers, isn't he?

What do we think of a man who has experiences like that, with loved ones, and then decides to make it more different for over a hundred thousand people in a similar position.

Do you call that man 'Brave' or 'Pragmatic', like he wants us to?

Apparently Trump (an Ableist) and Starmer have an 'understanding'

now 15.43 GMT Carers UK, a charity for carers, has said that the news that 150,000 carers will lose the carer’s allowance (see 2.22pm) will cause “huge anxiety”. Helen Walker, its chief executive, says: 44 Today’s spring statement confirms that the government’s welfare reform plans will include the first substantial cuts to carer’s allowance in decades, realising many carers’ worst fears. This is an unprecedented step in the wrong direction and must be swiftly rectified. Carers save the UK economy an estimated £184bn a year, but now many more are in danger of further financial hardship and poverty. They deserve so much more. The repercussions of today’s changes will be felt deeply by those who for too long, have been our last line of defence - providing vital support which simply can’t be found elsewhere.
