History rhymes.
RFK Jr/the Trump Administration are doing/saying some truly horrific shit about disabled people.
We know where road this leads, and the Dems showing that they are willing to roll over on trans equality are telegraphing that they won't raise a finger to help disabled people either.

Furthermore, if you're not going to stand to protect trans people or immigrants, then don't be shocked when I automatically assume you'll do the exact same bit of mewling nothing when the fascists fully expand their focus to the disabled.

The U.S. Senate is currently considering a budget reconciliation bill that quietly includes language that could devastate our public lands. It would:
- Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale
- Mandate the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and BLM land
- Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale

My disability eligibility decision was made two decades ago. In that time my disability COL adjustments have increased by <$200/mo. I raised my child in studio & 1/br apts I couldn’t afford when rent was ~$750. The “market rate” for those units has since tripled. This is not a COLA, it’s a JOKE.
The current COLA (cost of living adjustment) for social security for 2026 is a meager 2.5% and has not ever kept pace with inflation.
What a joke. When we give money to corporations it's called subsidy, but for disabled people it's called "entitlements" 1/2
