we can build a better world. we have to care for each other. we don’t have to be beholden to corrupt politicians destroying everything every 2-4 years. we have to think radically different about what’s possible.

The budget that passed today is expected to do a historic amount of harm to the most vulnerable communities. For disabled people, the impacts will be catastrophic. This moment calls for us to help each other survive and build the kind of world we want to see. @the_tattooedjew
