An atrocious bill, and long. I can't muster to speak of it all. This will affect us all. Don't think you are exempt if you are white and abled. The government hates you. Devastating cuts to Medicaid (which I rely on for healthcare) and SNAP (which I rely on for food). They aren't cutting these to save money. They are doing this out of spite and are dooming the economy.
Friends, it may be over.
If this bill passes the Senate, if after I still have access to some Medicaid services and some SNAP, if, I will have to maintain constant employment in order to meet the proposed work requirements for Medicaid. If I am fired or have difficulty maintaining employment due to my disabilities, fuck me I don't get healthcare. And I no longer get gender affirming care covered by insurance no matter how hard I work (unless that hard work is sourcing care extralegally).
The kicker is that the U.S. may default on its debt as early as this summer. Medicaid, social security, veteran benefits, SNAP, all social safety nets my family uses to survive, are in jeopardy.
Selfish thinking I know (sarcasm). This will affect the world.
I want to weep for my family. I hope we can come together but I worry some of us won't survive this. Right now, I'm really ready to make an explicit exit plan. I'm anticipating this regime will slowly kill me, perhaps worse, unless I try to take matters into my own hands.
The genocide against disabled people is advancing.
I forget how long SN is supposed to last. Should look into that. I'm so tired. I wish I felt more fight in me.
