This is a very real thing 4 many ppl. If you need help w/SSDI, a few tips I learned along the way:
πŸ”΅ SSDI decisions are based on whether your symptoms substantially interfere w activities of daily living
πŸ”΅ They don’t assess what your condition is, but its symptoms/severity. 1/
#DisabiltyThreads 🧡
Social Security Disability testimony today:
⚫️ In 2023, ore than 30,000 people died waiting for approval of their claims
⚫️ More than 1.2 million Americans are waiting for an β€œinitial” decision on their disability claim
⚫️ Many of the 1.2 million have been waiting for more than a year.
Please help oppose SB 1950, a dangerous bill that would harm the #disability community & which was opposed by the disability rights orgs & community. The largest national minority shouldn’t go unheard. This bill greatly hurts efforts towards #DisabilityJustice. #AssistedSuicide #DisabilitySky πŸ’œ πŸ‘‡
Around 3 AM on 11/1, Illinois passed an assisted suicide bill, SB 1950. We need support to ask @jbpritzker.bsky.social to veto it. #Disability orgs & advocates all opposed the bill but were unheard.
You can read more about it on our blog. #AssistedSuicide #DisabilityJustice πŸ’œ

There’s also only so far you can β€œstretch” food stamps that, on average, provide $187/month to recipients. That’s less than $7 a day. Food prices are also on the rise, & it’s a little late to suddenly tell ppl who may have spent their previous balances to β€œstretch” more. #SNAP #Resist #FoodStamps
A lot of people are sharing articles about how to stretch your food budget or cook like our grandparents did to survive.

Our grandparents lived through the Great Depression.

If we’re having to resort to what they did… things are much worse than folks are willing to admit.

Seeing a severe lack of masks at the #NoKings rallies. Highly disappointing. I was hoping to possibly make it out for the next one, but it'll be flu season plus covid, measles, etc. Looks like we're still struggling on the "all people" portion of "Until all people are free, no one is." #disability

Dr Oz says the US is β€œunder babied”

Kennedy says declining birth rates are a national security threat

Neither will do a damn thing to control measles and infectious diseases that are disabling & killing kids

Neither will address gun violence which takes the lives of countless kids every year

I wouldn’t be able to manage without SNAP. My food pantry is limited & can only help 1-2x/month. I have no alternatives, nor do many of the friends I have in the #Disability community who rely on SNAP to survive. This is a war on tens of millions of Americans.

Agricultural secretary says that SNAP benefits will run out before November. These are the consequences of the Senate GOP and Donald Trump not negotiating for millions of people who depend on the ACA. They simply don’t care if people don’t get their healthcare or STARVE!

USDA's Rollins says food stamp funding to dry up in two weeks - Roll Call
Nearly 42 million people could be left without monthly food benefits if the federal government doesn't reopen before funding runs out.

Sadly, the discharge petition would have likely not passed in the Senate, as the GOP seems to have something to hide &/or is falling all over themselves to do their felon-in-chief’s bidding. #NoKings #ReleaseTheFiles #Epstein

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.

Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

Donald Trump Has:

1) πŸ’° for White House GOLD
2) πŸ’° to BUILD a White House Ballroom
3) $40B to BAIL OUT Argentina
4) πŸ’° for security details 🏌️🏌️
5) πŸ’° to shoot down QUESTIONABLE boats?
BUT
1)NO money for ACA Subsidies
2) NO money for SNAP in November
1) NO money for 100+ INFRASTRUCTURE projects

GOT IT!
Money for the β€œArc de tRump,” too, but no money for public health, science, Medicaid, children’s health insurance, etc. & there’s always money for the ICE raids that have done so much harm & made ICE the 3rd largest military in the world (behind China & the US).

Not sure we elected this fascist, but agree otherwise.
Does he not know we all breathe the same air & have to share our water supply, etc.? Ironic, since GOP always said climate change didn’t exist, & the Fascist in Chief called it β€œa hoax by the Chinese,” which isn’t racist or anything, & clearly a totally science-based move. πŸ™„ #Resist #VoteThemOut πŸ’™
Bc climate change only affects those states, so red states will be just fine, since NONE of them could possibly border or breathe the same air as blue ones. πŸ™„ #Resist #BlueCrew #TrumpIsAFascist
PS-These states should sue bc it’s discrimination. The courts are still open.
