This is going to hurt so many vulnerable people: children, single mothers, the elderly, etc. The list goes on.
I'm a social worker and have been protesting these cuts.
Please call your reps, protest their offices and protest again on April 19th. Please stand up for folks who can't. Thank you.

Weren't many of [them] trying to convince us they weren't going to touch these programs from the election to now? How these fuckers get a single goddamn vote is beyond my comprehension!

The same bill had cuts to school food programs. This cut as well as the already defunded closing of head start, and retroactive defunding of health programs, families are already hurting.

Pitchforks, torches and guillotines are going to be flying off the shelves

Of course, wealthy people hide assets so Medicaid doesnt come after them for nursing home care.

But they probably wont do anything about that.

Medicaid also covers dental care for children. Remember, RFK wants to ban fluoridated water which is safe at levels that have been studied and appropriately adjusted for 70 years.

Yet they claim to be Christian. The hypocrisy is unending.

I thought they wanted more babies?!

autumn-frost7.bsky.social•15 days ago

Not just any babies. Only from white people healthy enough to survive the birth on their own or rich enough to afford it out of pocket -- they want eugenics, remember?

These are the kinds of "deep cuts" one gets with a guillotine.
This is not a reduction; it's a destruction.

We Need Something comparable to the BAU (Criminal Behavioral Unit) to Start trying to Figure this Administration Out and Get Ahead of the Damage...NO JOKE! SUGGESTIONS?

As difficult enough as it is a lot of the time, at least there's access and access to quality medical care is not only life saving but life changing.

In MAGA world women will give birth at home, with no medical intervention. Hosana, the 19-year-old fundie tradwife down the street will attend. She’s not actually a midwife or anything, but can pray and play hymns on the piano when things go horribly wrong.
