"No one is targeting disabled people."

Yes, they are.

Any tightening of benefits will disproportionately harm the most vulnerable. It's on purpose.

the going rate was already almost enough 😒

brianamillslmft.bsky.social•9 days ago

I’m assuming you’re being sarcastic? Haha.

cathy-es123.bsky.social•9 days ago

yep, (pockets turned out emptily emoji) 🙂‍↔️

dept of education worked to make sure disabled children got education—and it’s been gutted

brianamillslmft.bsky.social•9 days ago

We mostly got an education because of the ADA and Section 504.

They're talking of putting us in camps for God's sake.

MAHA is a genocidal eugenicist movement that has offshoots all over the world.

brianamillslmft.bsky.social•8 days ago

I assume you mean MAGA? To be fair, there’s definitely eugenics in the democratic movement as well, just not as blatant.

kaplahoop.bsky.social•8 days ago

MAHA, Make America Healthy Again, is the MAGA aligned health movement that includes rfk, a whole lot of influencers, alternative medicine, and a lot of alternative spirituality.

kaplahoop.bsky.social•8 days ago

And you're right, there's eugenicist logic and practice almost everywhere you look. It's just very explicit and acutely violent in the MAHA movement. It's reminiscent of nazi rhetoric.

I guess these folks think causing harm is fine as long as it isn't intentional.

Which, considering how some of my attempts to call out harmful behavior have gone . . . Some folks really do think that.

brianamillslmft.bsky.social•8 days ago

It’s almost all intentional.

I’ve been targeted since elementary school when 90% of my teachers wanted me to be somebody else’s problem

brianamillslmft.bsky.social•9 days ago

I’m so sorry. I know how hard that can be.

rainsong.cloud•9 days ago

Yup. Just because they think of it as simply getting rid of what's expendable doesn't change that what's expendable to them are very particular kinds of people.

This!!!

Welcome to Alberta where they’re working to put all of us disabled folks on the street. Burn Jason Nixon…burn!!!!

brianamillslmft.bsky.social•9 days ago

Ugh! I’ve heard Canada has been horrible.

magentasky234.bsky.social•9 days ago

Amen. It's happening in the UK, it's awful. It will kill people and put them on the streets.

brianamillslmft.bsky.social•9 days ago

It’s so awful now ableism and eugenics is everywhere.

magentasky234.bsky.social•9 days ago

Yeah. It's absolutely disgusting. I love fearing for my own wellbeing and safety!

amyathene.bsky.social•9 days ago

Of course they are. What else would you call slashing money for things like food banks, SNAP, LIHEAP, dismantling social security and decimating Medicaid? I guess able bodied people have zero clue that disabled folks will die without these services.

lizadey714.bsky.social•9 days ago

I think that's part of the point. They're eugenicists, and it's subtler to kill us off thru attrition, rather than something like Hitler's euthanasia program.

brianamillslmft.bsky.social•9 days ago

Most likely.

awelcomehomeorg.bsky.social•9 days ago

Every ‘benefits reform’ that tightens eligibility:
• Forces disabled people to ‘prove’ conditions doctors already verified
• Cuts lifeline services under austerity excuses
• Designed to shrink rolls, not solve poverty

This isn’t oversight—it’s policy. The vulnerable always pay first.

brianamillslmft.bsky.social•8 days ago

Always!!
