You know what IMPERATIVE to talk about when we talk about su¡cide, John: The Venn diagram of LGBTQIA+ youth & death by su¡cide, as well as attempts. You know what PREVENTS these deaths & attempts to die? Access to health care! The same health care you just voted against when you voted on the NDAA!

Nicole Danielle @koalabear2418.bsky.social · 7h

And you care more about...literally anything than you do about protecting health care for service members and their families as evidenced by your NDAA vote.

Glass houses, Chuckles. Glass houses. 😒

And the provision regarding denial of access to life-saving health care for service members and their families? You forgot to mention that *you* secured *that* too when your voted on the NDAA.

But, you know, it's been so chaotic, I'm sure you just plumb forgot, so I got you!

Yet it wasn't also time to step up for the American service members and their families and prevent your constituents from seeing their life-saving health care access demolished when you voted on the NDAA? 🤔

Nicole Danielle @koalabear2418.bsky.social · 7h

Cool story, bro.

But you *will* vote for an NDAA that decreases the access of life-saving health care for service members and their families.

Your Republican colleagues don't have to work with *you/Dems*: *You* cave to *them* every blessed time...as evidenced by your vote on the NDAA.

Nicole Danielle @koalabear2418.bsky.social · 7h

Service members and their families are facing a decimation in their access to health care that may cost them their lives because of your vote on the NDAA.

Dollars to donuts your "bipartisan solution" does the same thing to civilians because you have the moral fortitude equivalent of soggy bread.

Nicole Danielle @koalabear2418.bsky.social · 7h

That would require the ability for self-awareness and reflection.

Nicole Danielle @koalabear2418.bsky.social · 7h

Looking at your vote on the NDAA, sounds like they *do* know you because you did *not* fight for health care. Quite the contrary. You were very supportive of ensuring service members and their families do NOT have access to life-saving health care.

Nicole Danielle @koalabear2418.bsky.social · 7h

Yet you couldn't be bothered an IOTA to take to the Senate floor to vote to protect access to life-saving health care for service members & their families when you voted on the NDAA.

We all know you'll fold on whatever provisions they come back with. You've a backbone of overcooked spaghetti.

Nicole Danielle @koalabear2418.bsky.social · 7h

Anything in there about your vote on the NDAA? About the stories you're getting from service members on the healthcare access *decreases* they're getting? 🧐

How about you go deep into some introspection about your hypocrisy?

Nicole Danielle @koalabear2418.bsky.social · 8h

Receive any from service members about how stripping their access to life-saving health care will impact them and their families as a result of your vote on the NDAA? 🧐

Nicole Danielle @koalabear2418.bsky.social · 8h

You had a chance to do what was best for your constituents via your vote on the NDAA by protecting access to life-saving health care for service members and their families.

You chose not to.

Nicole Danielle @koalabear2418.bsky.social · 8h

Yet you *will* vote for an NDAA that fails to fund life-saving health care for service members and their families.

Interesting 🤔

Trans people are the *literal* "least of these", Rev: One. Blessed. Percent of the population.

Nicole Danielle @koalabear2418.bsky.social · 8h

EVERY American service member & their families could see their access to life-saving health care stripped because of your vote on the NDAA.

Since you lack the self-awareness God gave a turnip to feel embarrassed for your hypocrisy, I'll do it for you.

Disgraceful.

Nicole Danielle @koalabear2418.bsky.social · 8h

But you *will* stand by AND stand *UP* when it comes to stripping life-saving health care access to service members and their families. Your vote on the NDAA gave *more* power to those protecting pedophiles.

Think on that as you claim righteousness in ANY way regarding this.

Nicole Danielle @koalabear2418.bsky.social · 8h

HOW ABOUT THEIR LIFE-SAVING HEALTH CARE?!

YOU WORKING TO MAKE SURE SERVICEMEMBERS & THEIR FAMILIES STILL GET THAT?!?

You sure showed up to work to make sure they didn't get that when you voted on the NDAA.

Nicole Danielle @koalabear2418.bsky.social · 8h

Yes! The Senate *is* still voting! To stripe away life-saving health care from service members & their families!

Curious you're not crowing about the ol' chestnut that is the NDAA. 🤔

(Narrator voice: It was, in fact, *not* curious as The Good Senator voted in favor of this legislation.)

Nicole Danielle @koalabear2418.bsky.social · 8h

Cool! Sounds like you value access to health care for ALL Americans...*checks notes* unless they are trans service members or trans family members of service members. Your vote on the NDAA is hypocrisy of the highest order.

Nicole Danielle @koalabear2418.bsky.social · 8h

Providing life-saving health care to service members & their families shouldn't be an issue. Period.

Well, for you, it's clearly not because you just voted to strip access to care with your vote on the NDAA.

Nicole Danielle @koalabear2418.bsky.social · 8h

If you care so much about access to health care, explain your vote to deny access to life-saving health care to service members & their families.

God help us all if Dems continue the same "negotiations" you've already given your blessing to.

Nicole Danielle @koalabear2418.bsky.social · 9h

And you voted for the NDAA because you don't care about trans service members & their families being able to access life-saving health care.

Now, you're pretending to be outraged at your colleagues because what? You need campaign funds?

Nicole Danielle @koalabear2418.bsky.social · 9h

"Ready to negotiate"? Same negotiations you capitulated to in the NDAA? 😒

Nicole Danielle @koalabear2418.bsky.social · 12h

Could have voted against the NDAA as it was written 🤷‍♀️

Nicole Danielle @koalabear2418.bsky.social · 12h

Big talk about a broken healthcare system from someone who just voted to further break the healthcare system for service members & their families.

You are exactly 0% better than the people you're trying to call out. You had a chance to ensure access to *life-saving* healthcare & you chose not to.
