The proposed cuts to Medicaid will lower the quality of life of every single American no matter how they access healthcare. The last time this was proposed it was disabled people who did all of the hard work to stop it. Do not leave this to disabled people again. Get in the trenches.

1/x My NIH grant that would collect data to help *prevent suicidal thoughts and behaviors* among LGBTQ+ people was terminated today, along with many other LGBTQ+ focused grants. These terminations make no sense scientifically. Here's why:
