RFK Jr's move to eliminate the Administration for Community Living, which helps disabled & aging people stay at home instead of being institutionalized, is disastrous.
I'm never done shouting about what my mom's institutionalization took from her & from us (so here's my @teenvogue.com piece again).

RFK Jr, in a position to address suffering like my mom's, very clearly does not think about people like her at all.
I am sorry! How can people be so Cruel?
I’m very sorry for the suffering and pain. ❤️
That should help nursing home stocks rally.
Alan Grayson was right; the US House Sept. 30, 2009:

Americans are resisting though, in ever-greater numbers. We can & must keep it up.

We need to do better.
our society values health, strength, and $ above all. it angers me that we choose not to see, to know, to really care for all people right where they are, and just provide what they really want and need - a life. shame on us.
your writing honors your mother.
I just believe that our society only values $$. Then, maybe they value strength and health, but only to the degree that they help to deliver financial rewards.
The Admin's plans are horrific, and the cuts are intentional.
Cannot believe this!!!! Where is the red line for Republicans, and Dems?????
(If you’re uncomfortable answering, I’ll understand)
The reason I’m asking is that it’s unusual for any public school to be state-controlled, not district/city/town controlled!
It was a public school.
Your characterization of a “state” school didn’t make sense.
There are no state-run schools below college level.
All elementary, junior high, and high schools are operated locally.
You are a tribute to her.
Congratulations 🤗🤗💖💖
refuse to vote for his budget
Confront him in committee meetings
Demand accountability from members who approve this shit
#RFKjr has molded a lunatic, eugenicist philosophy of allowing any pathogen to kill any human to actually “cull the herd” “letting the strongest survive”.
It’s all a rich, entitled sociopathic and delusional madman’s fantasy, of course.
Reject it.
Reject them.

/I/ was the one to change his clothes after they hadn't done it for almost a week, and they did one sponge bath his whole stay (2+ wks)
I even started bringing him food and drink because he'd refuse to eat
What is the end game?
Why are they doing this?
So sorry for you and your mom, and for so many others whose healthcare options are made so meager in a country this wealthy.
Does he know anything? He knows that he was on Epstein’s plane twice.
Junior is a cruel tool 😱
Thank you for having the courage to share. 💜
I don't know who sees what in my tiny sphere, but whoever sees or hears anything at all is going to have to see and hear what matters.
Well, tbf there have been many, but this is beyond for me.
F them. I knew it. There is $ to be made, so of course they will exploit vulnerable people. I will house people, if needed and I hope others step up too.

He clearly does not give a damn about the people he may harm with his insanity.

Whatever you can do now and in the future to improve conditions for others who are caught in a similar trap, I'm sure will be appreciated.
