To illustrate the state of life in America right now:

Several journalists who were bleeding and needed stitches because of assaults by LAPD drove around to urgent care facilities only to find them closed, then wavered on going to emergency rooms because of high costs of treatment there.

10. The insurance model is a rationing system. ‘Coverage’ is a euphemism for controlled scarcity. They don’t just decide what care you get—they decide if you’re worth the cost.

9. Disability politics asks: what would an economy look like if keeping each other alive was the highest value? Not GDP, not productivity—but the refusal to abandon anyone. Disability pride is also a revolution in how we define wealth.

1. Disability is a site of class struggle because it exposes the lie of meritocracy. We show that survival isn’t earned—it’s organized, or it doesn’t happen at all.

Thank you @katherinewolf.bsky.social for this play by play! Appreciate you & everyone who put in the work today.

6 months ago, someone told me “we have 2 choices. we can fight this or we can accept it.” & I chose to fight alongside so many passionate, brilliant minds dedicated to protecting our care. The fight isn’t over. & everyone who makes the choice to fight will still be here tomorrow.

It's not over yet. What can stop this in the House is a show of political power from the masses.
Calling your House member reminds them that they represent us, not just a handful of billionaires. SEIU set up this phone line that connects you to your house member (it's really easy): 866-426-2631.

It’s been said but it’s worth saying again: why is there always money for war and never money for health care? Why can we bomb people abroad and not heal our neighbor’s broken leg? Cutting health care is violent, cutting health care to fund war is especially violent.

All of these policies are being done under the guise of fiscal responsibility, but in reality, providing health care for everyone is exactly what our tax dollars should be doing.
