If you have a Republican representing u, contact them & make sure ppl like my profoundly-disabled daughter don't have their health, caregiving, stability, or even their lives taken from them by the cuts to Medicaid. I have in-laws who live in FL & friends/family in Central IL & Ohio. Please help us.

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

I've been reading "The Stand" lately, and my goodness, I think Mr @stephenking.bsky.social might be a bit of a prophet.

Is it me, or does this current administration feel like Thanos? Snapping their fingers and indiscriminately taking out random chunks of the population/departments, with no regard to the chaos it will cause or who it will affect, with the vague promise of "something better someday."

Hilarious NYT headline: REPUBLICANS LOVE TRUMP’S SPENDING CUTS. JUST NOT IN THEIR STATES.

Why are 17 states trying to repeal laws in place to protect disabled people from being discriminated against? Why is the federal government trying to slash Medicaid, Medicare, and SNAP benefits?

My body has felt like a clinched fist for weeks bcuz of all that is happening in this country & what is on the line (esp for my disabled loved ones). I haven't sat at my piano and played for quite a while, so I decided to do that this afternoon. It's amazing how much better I feel, however brief. 🎹

I recommend reading this book "Surviving Autocracy" by Masha Gessen. It was written in 2020, but it's even more applicable today.

Trump is an extremely dangerous man--stupid, vindictive, fixated on payback for his enemies. This country will be lucky to survive him.

I'm going to keep saying this... The BILLIONAIRES think the poor, disabled, minorities, women, and disenfranchised, have too much. The BILLIONAIRES think that the homeless are getting too much help. And the fucker has the balls to sell a bible.

Maybe we should start calling tax cuts for the rich Medicaid so y’all can start being mad at the correct fucking people

President Trump just shut off funding for law enforcement, farmers, schools, veterans, and health care.  We are working diligently to reverse this, but we are preparing for every outcome to help Minnesotans weather this storm. Minnesota needs answers. We’ll see Trump in court.

We are living through Republicanism boiled down to its essence: Everyone should be deprived of everything, because otherwise, somebody I don't like might get something I don't want them to have. We call it an ideology, but it's really a personality: Greedy, withholding, suspicious, angry, cruel.

I used to work for an elected official as the person who answered their emails. I can tell you from personal experience, if even twenty or thirty people all call an official in a day, they start panicking. This stuff does help.

If you refer to other human beings as "illegals" (especially those who are just regular folk trying to be good and make a life for themselves without a good or quick path to citizenship) AND you consider yourself a Christian... No, you're not. Would Jesus use that term?

If the politicians and officials you support are also highly or exclusively supported by groups like the Neo-Nazis, you've got to ask yourself why that is. You've also got to ask yourself why you STILL choose to support and align with politicians like that with this knowledge.

If you want to read a new book coming out but don't want to buy it, a great thing you can do is ask your local library to order it. The more requests they get, the more likely they are to acquire it and then lots of people will get to read it who othewise wouldn't.
