I need you to make calls to Congress because on Tuesday, the House Committee responsible for Medicaid is meeting to slash funding for Medicaid—the health program 80 million Americans rely on, the health program that has kept me alive.

hi, cis folks!
the comment period for the proposed rule to remove trans care from the ACA as an essential health benefit is open til april 11. it'd strip care from DACA recipients, too.
context & guidance in the thread. do it while you’re still fired up from/about protests.
only 4.5 days left!

hi, cis folks!
if we *are* going to talk ACA, RFK's HHS proposed a rule to remove *all trans care* from ACA essential health benefit status.
~25mil people are insured by ACA & if 1% are trans, that's 250,000 people who'd lose access to care.
that's bad! take 2 minutes to stand with trans people.🧵

I’m so worried for friends that travel a lot, especially Canadian friends. If you don’t have to cross a border right now, just don’t.
I believe that if you're a non-US citizen entering the US from Canada, it is wise to have US immigration counsel on speed dial, especially if you're trans

this is the thing - artists are gonna get hit up to play benefits for the Democratic party in two years and super hard in four years. well: did you support completely inhuman treatment of people on the grounds that they were "gang members," accused of no crime? you did? then the answer is "nah, man"

The point of repression is to make you scared. They want you afraid, isolated, and demobilized. This keeps none of us safe.
You either cower in the face of fascism or you stand up and fight. The time is now.

He said he couldn't sleep from threats he was receiving.
He even wrote that he feared ICE "might come to my home."
