This will happen to MANY thousands of people if the Medicaid & SNAP cuts pass
So many lives at stake, the individuals AND their already exhausted caregivers
We can't convince the oligarchs that disabled lives matter, they've already decided we don't count. We must DEMAND they keep their hands off

Medicaid renewal for my adult son (who is medically fragile and developmentally disabled) cannot be processed at this time.
Case manager said they have to wait until the budget has been done.
All those assurances that eligible individuals won't have benefits cut don't feel reassuring right now.

A ProPublica analysis revealed a stark pattern across the Deep South, where about 200 majority-Black public school districts educate 1.3 million students. Alongside those districts are private academies filled almost entirely with white students.

When men talk like this, and demand action of others, they’re mostly demanding action of women. Instead of just doing the work — locating young men, gaining their trust, mentoring and guiding them — they’re treating it like housework. Point it out to the wife and consider that helping with chores.
If progressives want to win back young men, then they must talk to them and address their needs, instead of constant scolding. All the finger wagging just drives them to Rogan, Peterson, and the Tate brothers. And they DO talk to young men.
