Prior to #eviction, #SabiLewSounds, who's #disabled, could take commissions, work on album, two #YT channels, #Twitch, #radio streams, freelance, blogging, #advocacy for #Disability & #MentalHealth

In Mar '24, this amazing multi-talented #artist & #musician, made #homeless by eviction, lost equipment & began sheltering in hotel with #elderly mom w/ #dementia & #ESA #bunny, as 24/7 caretaker

For months, through little sleep & food scarcity, Sabi's been fighting daily to keep her family alive

@RichardJMurphy explains here that Labour 's Rachel Reeves could save unnecessary interest payments of £20 billion per year, which makes Labour's choice to cut funding for the elderly and disabled people even more blatantly a choice for necropolitics, IMO.

From the article: "For years, White House press conferences included sign language interpreters for the deaf.

"No longer. Interpreters have been noticeably absent from Trump administration press briefings, advocacy groups say. Gone, too, are the American Sign Language interpretations that used to appear on the White House’s YouTube channel. A White House webpage on accessibility, whitehouse.gov/accessibility, has also ceased working.

"From halting diversity programs that benefit people with disabilities to staffing cuts at the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Trump administration has taken a slew of actions that harm those with impairments or chronic health conditions. Decades of hard-fought gains risk being undone by cuts to federal programs, freezes on research funding, and a White House ban on practices that support diversity."
