Graphic with a light background and the New Disabled South logo in the top right corner. Large bold text reads: ‘Apply: Food Assistance for Disabled People in the South.’ Text below explains that due to the government shutdown, people in the South will not receive their November SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) payments. New Disabled South is offering one-time payments to help people impacted by not receiving SNAP — $100 for individuals and $250 for households with two or more people. It notes that funding is first-come, first-served and that SSI or Medicaid recipients should read a disclaimer before applying. A call-to-action at the bottom reads: ‘Apply at ndsdj.org/snaphelp.’ There are small illustrations of a grocery bag and a grocery list.

For @teenvogue.com, I wrote about America’s favorite bipartisan pastime: starving people at home and abroad. As officials confirm what we already know, that there is a famine in Gaza, I hope we can all remember that none of this is unavoidable. It is a choice.

From Famine in Gaza to Trump Cutting SNAP, Child Hunger is An American Pastime

"At home and abroad, the U.S. government is participating in starving people, particularly children, and calling it policy."

It doesn’t have to be like this. We don’t have to die at the hands of corrupt politicians, billionaires, and wealthy corporations. We can build a different world. While we do that, we have to care for each other and help each other survive this. We’ve done it before. @newdisabledsouth.org

“Dom Kelly, who heads @newdisabledsouth.org, characterized the legislation as ‘a continued attempt to silence those who work in opposition to the Trump administration and the right’s extreme agenda.’ Kelly isn’t backing down: ‘If they come for us, we will fight them with everything we’ve got.’”

Republicans slide "nonprofit killer" law into tax bill

The White House could end any group's tax-exempt status by accusing it of support for terrorism.

What nondisabled people are missing is beyond the fact that this is ugly and false, it’s completely in line with the eugenicist playbook. Convince the public that “these people” live sad, unproductive lives, that we need to eradicate this “disease,” and then eventually, eradicate the people.

“Dom Kelly, cofounder of New Disabled South, agreed. ‘At this point, the disability community needs to realize that this is just the beginning, and if we are to mitigate any of the harm this administration does, we have to remain in solidarity with the trans community.’”

Removing gender dysphoria from Section 504 significantly reduces protections for transgender people who face discrimination in health care, education, and housing. “This opens up those with gender dysphoria to discrimination in [...] pretty much all aspects of life, without legal recourse.”
