Elon Musk and Trump’s cabinet members are “moving fast and breaking things”.

Sometimes they stay broke, sometimes it’s a “whoopsie” and they restore whatever they chose to destroy.

Disabled people are dependent on many government services, and we lack the physical resilience of our non disabled counterparts.

When you break things, you are often breaking us.

People will die, and the disabled are likely to be first.

This is ableism and eugenics rolled into one, and the richest man on earth thinks he can get away with it because people have historically not cared about what happens to the disabled.

Care. Get loud. Resist. Help us fix things.

As a disabled person who relies on multiple medications and supplies that are manufactured or sourced in China… the suspension of USPS packages from China and Hong Kong is deeply disturbing. Even a temporary stoppage could be catastrophic for us.

disabled people are canaries in the coal mine. Anything that will impact non disabled people will often hit us harder and faster.

Include us in resistance & emergency preparedness.

If you have means, consider helping a disabled person stock up on necessary supplies. We often lack the funds to be able to “prep” and yet can’t withstand a shortage the way a healthy person can.

Never forget that good health gives you a degree of resilience … and that resilience is a gift. Don’t waste it. Prepare. Plan. Help others.
