Disabled people deserve healthcare.
Disabled people deserve housing.
Disabled people deserve food.
Disabled people deserve support.
Our ability to work and produce should not determine our value.

It’s disrespectful to everyone who lost their life. Everyone who lost a friend, partner or loved one. Everyone currently living with HIV.

You can help the striking Starbucks employees by not buying anything from the company.
Employees were offered a 50 cent wage increase amidst billion dollar profits.
Hit them in the wallet, that’s all they respond to.
Support local independent coffee shops instead!

Starbucks workers this Thursday 11/13 are starting a long strike to win a first union contract
*** NOBODY SHOULD BUY ANYTHING FROM STARBUCKS AS LONG AS WORKERS ARE STRIKING ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY***
Consumer boycotts are very powerful when combined with workplace militancy

SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high.
SNAP recipients don’t need to “just go get a job”.
Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers.

“Let them go a month without meals. Maybe they will get a job”
First, many SNAP recipients have jobs. They’re just living below the poverty line because of tremendous wealth inequality.
Second, many are disabled and children and can’t work.
Third, no one should starve to death.

I am begging the mainstream media to talk less about the East Wing & more about the loss of SNAP funding for the next few days.
The East Wing is gone. We can’t change that.
We *can* help people prepare for the loss of SNAP.
We can urge folks to donate to food banks.
We can give them warning.

Massachusetts is outdoing other states because they are the first to require insurers to cover the cost of COVID shots and other vaccines recommended by state health officials.
Vaccines are not accessible if they are unaffordable. Every state needs to follow their lead!
