There's something icky about a church in the downtown area of a city launching a $7.8 million campaign for a parish hall when their neighbors are still facing a housing crisis, increasing food prices are forcing more families to the food bank, etc. It's a special kind of privileged tone deaf.

WKU professor says his family is among those threatened by cuts to Medicaid coverage
More than 300,000 disabled Kentuckians on Medicaid fear they'll see fewer services under the Republican-backed federal budget. Countering what the Trump administration calls the “Big Beautiful Bill," the Kentucky Democratic Party brought its Defense of Medicaid tour to Bowling Green on Thursday.

Friends, I'm basically leaving my job because of my disabling condition. I'm in a uniquely privileged place to do so, thankfully.
Even with all that, being openly and publicly disabled in this country feels so dangerous right now. But I'm doing it. If you're forced to be silent, you're not alone.
