- Reposted by TL JordanSSI wasn't well known in policy or political circles, so it was an uphill slog. I did SSI 101 for a LOT of legislative assistants, talked at think tanks, published pieces SSI *is* inhumane. I wanted to be able to get married. I wanted to be able to afford food. I wanted that for everyone else 🧵
- Reposted by TL Jordan"Disabled people aren't allowed to work" and "Disabled people can't get married" tells most of the 1 in 4 American adults who are disabled that they don't count as disabled, it shrinks the community and diminishes our political power. In 2016 I started talking about the brutality of SSI 🧵

- Reposted by TL JordanI realized that a lot of the guys who have been found in the Epstein files are probably really struggling because the guy they would have gone to for advice about being discovered in the Epstein files was JEFFREY EPSTEIN

- Reposted by TL JordanI think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.
- “If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
