If you rely on fed services such as social security, Medicare/Medicaid, airline safety, clean air & water, disaster response, search & rescue, or enjoy things like national parks, you *really* need to contact all of your congressional reps.
These services are people dependent & in very real danger.

Disability can happen to anyone. Sometimes people are born disabled, sometimes it happens to you. And all of us, if we're lucky enough, get old and need support because the human body, including healthy ones, break down eventually in one way or another. That's just how we are as a species.

Disabled people are not a waste.
Disabled people are not parasites.
Disabled people are not a burden.

The ultimate waste is the devaluation and dehumanization of 25% of the population.

In thinking about mental health and wellness, we want to recognize other groups under persecution as well: people who are transgender/nonbinary, have disabilities, don‘t have documentation, people of color, and others. Take care of yourselves, find your communities, be allies and support each other.

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote.

There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP

Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Please explain what just happened. Is there no way to stop this w the reconciliation to be used by GOP to get around the filibuster? Are we sunk?

BREAKING: The House passed a budget framework that would slash billions in Medicaid funding.

Medicaid is a lifeline for tens of millions of Americans, including people with disabilities, women, seniors, and children. The Senate must reject these dangerous cuts.

To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.
