🤍 The next “invisible disability” we’ll be highlighting is chronic pain. Even though chronic pain may not be as outwardly obvious as acute pain, those living with it are severely impacted on a day to day basis. 🤍 (1/3) #DisabilityPrideMonth #DisabledAndProud #MSDCI

🩵 The blue stripe of the disability pride flag represents psychiatric disabilities. Mental illness brings additional challenges to many facets of everyday life, especially for students experiencing the unpredictable and fast-paced environment of medical school. 🩵 (1/5)

Disabled people are not expendable. The elderly are not expendable. Children are not expendable. We must stop assessing worth based on perceived economic contributions. No one should have to prove they “matter” to get basic healthcare, housing, food or education.

Disability Pride Month and 35th ADA Anniversary wouldn't exist without Black and Brown disabled people contributions and activism. We, as the disability community, cannot fight for inclusion in society if we're not being inclusive within our community. Black and Brown disabled

“Medical professionals can no longer fully trust federal health guidance, and our patients are the ones who will suffer the most.” Excellent read from Danielle Ofri on the reality for clinicians as NIH, CDC, FDA recs are put under political controls. nytimes.com/2025/07/28/opi…
