Republicans keep saying the “genuinely disabled” don’t have to worry about losing Medicaid.
All disabilities are genuine.
You also need healthcare to get a diagnosis. To get the paperwork done. To “prove it”.
They’re ensuring people get trapped in red tape loopholes so they can’t get care.

Many disabled folks rely on powered devices to keep them alive. The extreme heat of summer often causes power outages, which kills disabled people.
This is a downstream devastation of climate change - and why climate justice is so important.
It’s the marginalized who will suffer the most.

Check on the disabled people in your life. See if they have contingency plans and include them in emergency preparedness.

Disabled people are not “choosing” to be sick.

The “covid is only a threat to the vulnerable” narrative primed the pump for the eugenics movement we’re seeing now.
It conditioned people to see the disabled & vulnerable as acceptable losses. People who were probably going to “die anyways”.
It paved the way for fascism.

Autistic/ADHD traits that “quirky,” “maverick,” or “genius” in the rich are “weird,” “rude,” or “unemployable” in poor people. Much easier to be neurodivergent in the workplace when you’re the boss and raking in the money.
