I'm suffering, with rare, fatal diseases, in a #NursingHome. My life depends on #Medicaid, #SocialSecurity, et. al. I spent excruciating energy, incl w @meactnet.bsky.social💙, begging #Senators to oppose the budget. My life didn't matter to these, 10 Dem Senators either. @everylifeorg.bsky.social
The final tally to advance the CR is 62-38. The Democrats who voted for cloture, giving Donald Trump everything he wants: Cortez Masto (NV) Durbin (IL) Fetterman (PA) Gillibrand (NY) Hassan (NH) Peters (MI) Schatz (HI) Schumer (NY) Shaheen (NH)
⚠️SAVE MEDICAID & HHS: SAVE MY LIFE.⚠️ I'm bedridden, with comorbid, rare, fatal diseases, in a #NursingHome, paid by #Medicaid (as is true of 2/3 of all US nursing-home patients). If Medicaid is cut, I will be homeless & die. Contact info. for key Senators is in my posted letter. #SaveMedicaid
🔥 @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...
As International #WomensDay approaches, a reminder for the US: It wasn't #witches who were burned, drowned, & tortured; it was #women. & we are repeating history. There are times in history to gather #magic for common cause. #witch #witchsky #WitchesofBluesky #Salem #SalemWitchTrials #RoeVWade
Good evening Witches! #witchsky #witchcraft #texaswitch #salemwitchtrials
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...

URGENT: SAVE MEDICAID TO SAVE MY LIFE: I live in a skilled nursing home, with comorbid, rare, fatal diseases, on Medicaid. If the House Rep budget passes, cutting #Medicaid, I will be homeless & dead. Please call NOW, & ask Republican Reps to read my letter & SAVE MY LIFE.

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.

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.

Just a point of order: @maddow.msnbc.com tonight: "In all likelihood, you don't have a family crest." My mother's family name was #Davies. 😕🤦🏼♀️ #FamilyCrest On a more serious note: I'll try to post my letter to Senators to vote NO on #RFK tonight. I'm #disabled, in a #NursingHome, on #Medicaid.
Please don't forget the #disabled as a historic target & casualty.
First, they came for the immigrants, and I did not speak out— Because I was not an immigrant. Then they came for the homeless, and I did not speak out— Because I was not homeless. Then they came for the... Are we really going to sit back and just watch this?

My contention since the 110th Congress: All persons with a penis living or traveling in the US must be required to have a vasectomy. Temporary reversal may be applied for and adjudicated by panels of qualified persons with a uterus. Until then, I believe that Lysistrata had it right all along.
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
