It is damn near impossible to grow 100% of a balanced diet on your own and unthinkable if you don’t have a lick of experience. You wanna cut down your produce bills w a couple raised beds, maybe learn to can? Sure. You want to opt entirely out of the preexisting food system? Lol. Lmao. Enjoy scurvy.

Got the official email directing a pause on our NSF grant. The language of the email likens “any grant activity that uses or promotes the use of DEIA principles and frameworks” to discrimination and a violation of the law

In the next few weeks, he'll either get the compliance he seeks by breaking our will and spirits, or he will slow this train down if there is enough resistance.

Yeah, he's knock off Hitler, but in the era of social media, he seeks validation. Same with Musk, these are insecure boys.

I would LOVE to grow my own food. Unfortunately…

I’m disabled & can’t garden

I live in high density apartment with no space for growing food

I have a very specialized diet due to my medical conditions & can’t “grow” most of what I need

“Grow your own food” is not a solution for most people
< history dilettante enters the chat >

the ability to grow/harvest enough food to feed a small family (plus livestock, necessary) is incredibly hard without a shitload of land, perfect weather & the ability to rotate crops. there is no "prepping" on this level available to most people.
not to dismiss the whole thing, but if I wanted to grow my own food I'd have become a farmer, the literal point of civilisation was that everyone didnt have to grow their own food

Federal agents are racially profiling Navajo Nation tribal members, detaining them on suspicion of being undocumented.

“No one is illegal on stolen land,” Jackson said. “People have to understand that this is not the way to live or to be honorable and neighborly with each other.”
Over 15 Navajo Nation Members Wrongly Detained or Questioned in Trump Immigration Raids
One Navajo Nation official said that “many fear for the threat of being deported.”…

Rebeka posted 4 hours ago that they don't have any food

They are still at $0 of their $50 request for food.

I'm sending my last $10 right now - NO ONE deserves to starve, especially if they're on bedrest after surgery and need to take medicine!!!

Please send help if you can!
Please help Bex to eat.

They need to eat to take cancer medication. They need to eat so their body can recover properly after surgery.

They're asking for $50 & $228 to cover their cancer medication.

Don't ignore this! Bex needs help NOW.

my ssdi goes straight to rent & utilities 💔

$50 or more is needed now for food 🙏🏽

The White House claiming Medicaid won’t be impacted, while States are reporting their portals are down & they can’t access funds

Many disabled Americans rely on Medicaid. When you’re in a medical crisis… you can’t wait for red tape

You can’t wait for them to “sort out the confusion”

This is cruel

There’s been an overwhelming amount of bad news over the last week, and those with chronic illness are struggling.

They’re worried about whether they will lose healthcare, federal assistance, be deported or targeted.

The constant stress is damaging to our baseline 🧵

We were told that if Covid was a “serious threat” there would be a rise in sudden deaths, excess deaths and other diseases.

We’re seeing tuberculosis, pneumonia, RSV and all kinds of other bugs in rates far higher than normal. Deaths are up.

Can we talk about it yet?

This isn’t mine, but from a library in the county next to me. I utilize my libraries and encourage everyone I know to do the same. If you love reading, look how much dough you save! Libraries are a necessity.💙📚

Can we please criticize politicians and people in general by focusing on what they did wrong. Rather than focusing on their appearance or marginalization(s). Let's keep the focus on what really matters. The individual and what they actually did wrong.

I imagined a lot of bad shit writing FIRE SEASON.

Something tells me the fallout from these fires is going to be much worse.

So, this isn’t exactly true. I was working for Disability Rights Pennsylvania, part of the protection and advocacy network, and there’s a whole other side to the story people don’t often tell because it’s very ugly. In the early days of Covid, they were floating around Universal DNRs
The early days of Covid showed us that if the government wanted - they could take care of everyone. They could provide a universal basic income, accommodate the needs of disabled people who had been pleading for remote healthcare & other services for years. They could keep us fed, safe and housed
