This is outrageous. Now more than ever, Americans need #paidleave and #paidsickdays . Thank you to Ayanna Pressley Rosa DeLauro Kirsten Gillibrand Senator Patty Murray and countless others for continuing to fight the good fight on behalf of working families. huffpost.com/entry/no-paid-…
My community's struggle in rural Southeast MI may be shaped differently than that of Rashida Tlaib's neighbors, or that of our friends in the UP, but we all understand that they are shaped by the same unjust forces working people everywhere face. Solidarity is #PureMichigan .
shannonrosa.bsky.social We also pester our local and national politicians to build a social safety net for families whose issues come from a lack of finances for support instead of blaming “autism.”
Supporting #neurodiversity doesn’t mean high-support autistic people & their loved ones live in a fairyland of denial and ease. It DOES mean we don’t blame “autism” or autistic kin when things are hard—we look to autistic insights (& doctors) to find solutions and accommodations.
