Americans have hit one of Iran’s largest pharmaceutical companies, Darupakhsh. Note that Iran has no connections to international pharmaceutical companies, so they make all the needed medicine within the country. This is literally dangerous.

I usually don’t like linking to the NYT, but I think it’s important to know that they wrote and published an obituary immediately for Alice Wong. (It selectively left out parts of her disability activism that they didn’t like, of course.)
"Alice supported and took many people with Long COVID under her wing — I was honored to call her a colleague and friend."

#ForTinu
One entire year since our beloved @tinu.bsky.social has passed.
I hoped I would never write those words.
If you are having a hard time, please do what you need to in order to take care.
Do the thing she loved.
Random acts of love, mutual aid, community care.
Rest, real self-care.
Always love. ❤️

The Washington Post now has no Black Opinion columnists - none - at a time when white nationalism is ascendant in our nation. I am grateful to Karen for the truth and fearlessness her work has always shown. Keep shining that light, my friend.
The diminishment of prominent Black journalists is the latest indication that a period of progress in America has ended and a period of retrenchment is in full bloom.

Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... 🧪
People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

Family I've just been informed that our beloved friend and community member Molly Gordon (@mollyboom.bsky.social) passed away last night.
She was a beautiful light in this world. The type of empathetic and generous soul we should all aspire to be.
I will truly miss her forever.
If you want to oppose fascism but you stopped wearing an n95 in public, bad news: you’ve been facilitating fascism via ableism, one of its favorite tools.
Good news: you can learn from this error! By resuming masking, you protect marginalized folks & resistance movements.

I'm looking for a #mentor this summer for someone who has a #learningdisability and would appreciate ya'll recommendations!!
Would love to find a #Black woman who also has a learning disability. Self employed or non profit work/experience. Skills: Helping build professional network and goals.
Are there any Black, Indigenous and People of Color that make mask chains on here? Would love to support them. I know I’ve seen them on here but lost track of where they are. #maskchains #stillmasking
How do I find all my friends and followers from Twitter or even the same communities.
This is a picture of Sarah, a black woman wearing a green head wrap, white 3M aura mask, a black long sleeve shirt with the word melanin in white and light blue ripped jeans. She is in a doctors office.

We are heartbroken. Tinu did so much for all of us in the disability community.
You were probably helped by her advocacy even if you didn’t know it. Even if you aren’t disabled yet.
Please help her family survive without her. A contribution or a boost means so much. 💜
