They’re planning to cut the programs allowing us to survive. If we don’t leave not only will we be unsafe because we’re queer, we’ll just die.

It’s hard realizing that at 48 I’m nearly bed-bound due to severe chronic pain from multiple disabilities. It’s been really hard on our relationship how little I’m able to be up and out of bed. I was able to do more when I had more support and I could have my feet up while I was in the living room.

The tens of billions of dollars being allocated to ICE could provide food and healthcare to everyone who needs it.
This regime chose tyranny and terror instead.
They would rather fund a militia to kidnap & disappear people, than give folks healthcare, school lunches and food assistance.
