I am re-posting this, in its entirety, bc I am at risk of becoming homeless now. I didn't want to have to post something like this, but I am terrified of being w/out a home now. The thread I wrote is 12 posts long. #DisabledInAmerica @nbcnews.com @abc7.bsky.social @cbsnews.com
In a state of sheer panic today bc my mean sister has just sold my home right out from under me, & expects me to just uproot & move. I'm dirt poor, disabled, autistic, have lymphedema, end stage kidney disease, am almost 65, & I literally have nowhere else to go. [thread] #DisabledInAmerica

my story finally gets picked up. I know I'm not the only one whose families are unsupportive & cruel to them. I am at my wit's end. I still have so much I long to do w/ my life, if given the chance. #DisabledPeopleMatter #DisabledInAmerica

All I get is Social Security, & it ALL goes on food, staples & monthly bills. I receive too much to even qualify for SNAP/food stamps. I have not posted my Go Fund Me page bc it seems to be a no-no here, but I have no choice now. #DisabledInAmerica

My mom passed away in Nov. Now I will be homeless & I will die. This sister doesn't care & even plans to not give me my share of what she gets off of the sale so I can @ least go buy a trailer to live in! I'm in hell & at the end of my rope. I wish my story would finally get told. #DisabledInAmerica

My mom bought these 2 cottages where I live so I would never be homeless, & her wish was that I would have life tenancy rent free when she passed away. I've lived here, safe & secure for the past 31 years, & now my mean sister who has always hated me, is making me move. #DisabledInAmerica

Late yesterday, Trump issued an executive order that terminates HHS's Long COVID advisory committee.
The committee's focus was bringing perspectives from outside government to inform action of the Executive Branch on Long COVID and other infection-associated chronic conditions.

Every genocide starts with the disabled.
You abled people really better start paying attention to how they treat US, because the powers that be will inevitably treat YOU exactly the same.

I couldn’t get married while living on disability benefits so I knew I would have to get a job to be able to afford to get married. Why might you ask? Because your spouses income is counted against you and it does not take much to push you over the edge. #povertyisapovertychoice #disabledinamerica
