🔥 @aoc.bsky.social : “The numbers don’t add up. $880 BILLION is a devastating cut to Medicaid, and an attack on Medicare. Anyone who votes for this budget is voting to cut Medicaid and gut health care for Medicare recipients in 🇺🇸.” Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGg7cr0...

After the #NIH- #FDA #RareDiseaseDay event ☠️, & slashing of #HHS depts, I ask the #RareDiseaseCaucus to address the #RareDisease community. Letters asking Sen Wicker & Rep Bilirakis to resign their Caucus chairs are in my feed. @amyklobuchar.com @dorismatsui.bsky.social @everylifeorg.bsky.social

Very sad to see that #RareDiseaseDay event at FDA-NIH has been cancelled. Cuts that limit rare disease research and cures (1) leave patients behind, and (2) forfeit precious opportunity to learn more about common human diseases. udnf.org/udnf-stateme...

28 FEB is #RareDiseaseDay. There are 30,000,000 rare-disease patients in the US. NIH & FDA cuts stopped our clinical trials & treatments. Now, Medicaid cuts will kill us. When boycotting on 2/28, please give the $ you save to the fundraisers of rare-disease patients. www.yahoo.com/news/no-amaz...

The People's Union USA, a self-described “grassroots movement” founded by John Schwarz, is encouraging Americans to refrain from making non-essential purchases on Friday.

Republicans want to kill your grandparents. They want to cut Medicaid by nearly a trillion bucks so billionaires keep more money in their accounts. Medicaid pays for nursing home care.

Medicaid covers 6 in 10 nursing home residents. 

Cut Medicaid, Kill Granny

The House could vote next week on drastic cuts to Medicaid that would gut critical programs that protect the civil rights and dignity of millions of Americans — including people with disabilities. Contact your member of Congress: No cuts to Medicaid.

I love that so many are advocating for libraries on my TL. If you don't know already, you can connect your library card to Libby, which allows you to read books on the Kindle store for FREE. #Booksky

I’m guessing I’m in some sort of starter pack about COVID, Long COVID and or masking & mitigations. I have gained over a 1k followers and and somewhat overwhelmed. Thank you to whoever included me. I’ll try to live up to your recommendation. Masks Keep Us Safe. xo
