♿Social Security is NOT just for Seniors. It's also for people like me with Disabilities, people who receive Survivors Benefits & Veterans who receive Social Security benefits.

Before I became disabled, I PAID into the program with EVERY paycheck. There are MILLIONS more like me & it is OUR MONEY!♿

As a former staffer, I answered hundreds of constituent calls. These calls do shape how Reps vote and make decisions.

I made a list of all the Senators by state with contact info for each of their many state offices. Let's flood the zone with our outrage.

There's something needs to be said
And it's important
You don't need to be gay to stick up for your gay friends
You don't need to be trans to stick up for your trans friends
You don't need to be Jewish or muslim or Hindu or black or white
You only need to be good people
To stick up for your friends

Need a beak from the bleak political shit-baggery? Look at my cute dog. This is Blue Bird after her first groom. Groomer reports she is the best girl and gobbled up her homemade doggy treats. I concur, she is the best girl!💞
