Protect Medicaid Urge Congress to protect Medicaid and oppose policies that would cut health care to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy.

And finally! I found a more general one. Surprising that it took me this long and multiple Google pages to find.... 🤔😒https://act.pih.org/protect-medicaid

Preserve I/DD Services—Tell Congress Protect Medicaid! | ANCOR Congressional leaders are discussing proposals that could significantly reduce Medicaid funding. While these ideas are still in the early stages and remain undefined, they pose serious risks to servic...

This is focused around mental health services but the end result is asking to stop proposed budget cuts to Medicaid. Here is a similar form that centers I/DD services in this as well for my fellow autistics and other neurodivergent folks:

NAMI's Advocacy Headquarters NAMI champions better care and better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental health conditions. Join our advocacy. Be a part of the change.

One way to take action to protect Medicaid is through NAMI's Action Center campaign. Sign the petition and email your legislators in a way that is user-friendly even for those with low spoons: nami.quorum.us/medicaid/

I know it's a coloration issue but the implication here is that Maryland and Delaware are a special free zone.

The Government Is Literally Erasing Trans People from American History Trump's removal of trans references from the Stonewall Monument website isn't just another culture war battle; it's actual government censorship.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:

DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.

ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.

REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

DO NOT SHARE PERSONAL INFORMATION. Do not answer questions about your immigration status, where you were born, or your criminal history. 4 NO COMPARTAS INFORMACION PERSONAL. No respondas preguntas sobre tu estado migratorio, dónde naciste o tus antecedentes penales.

DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING. Do not sign any document without speaking to a lawyer. 5 NO FIRMES NADA. No firmes ningún documento sin hablar con un abogado.

SPEAK TO A LAWYER. Consult with a lawyer ahead of time. If you are arrested, ICE will not provide you with a lawyer, so be prepared. CONSULTA CON UN ABOGADO. Consulta con un abogado con anticipación. Si te arrestan, ICE no te dará un abogado, así que prepárate

i try to talk to strangers on the internet like we are chatting in line at the grocery store together. some of u talk to strangers on the internet like you are having active road rage at all times

I think about this tweet constantly

Trans lives are not misdirection.
We are not canaries in cis people’s coal mine.
We are not a footnote to queer liberation.
We are real, we matter for ourselves, and we will be heard.

so the thing is

just because someone is not posting about every horror, does not mean they aren't paying attention or being active in opposition, and I do hope people can learn to read for other signs of resistance rather than demand people create a 24/7 feed of screaming

it's actually not helpful

It is in fact possible to dunk on shitty people in/adjacent to the US government without engaging in hipster racism/sexism/disablism/etc. I believe in you. You can do it.

Good morning. You are still here. Do something kind for someone you love today--and if you can, for someone else in your community, even if they're a stranger. We're in this together. ❤️

I got your card @tilanavel.bsky.social ! I appreciate you so much. The stickers are lovely especially the rhys darby one 💗 thank you!!

We distributed these materials in English and Spanish across our community this weekend and invite you to share these reminders widely.

Print it out and keep it in your wallet or on your fridge for reference and safe keeping. We are in this together. (3/3)

You do NOT have to speak to ICE without a JUDICIAL warrant. If they attempt to enter your home or your workplace, ask for a warrant. Sometimes they will try to use other, non qualifying paperwork. They need a warrant.

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

“As you honor my father today, please honor my mother, as well. She was the architect of the King Legacy and founder of The King Center, which she founded less than three months after Daddy died. Without Coretta Scott King, there would be no MLK Day“ - Bernice King

Today, we honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a visionary who not only dreamed of justice but tirelessly fought to dismantle the systemic barriers that uphold inequality. (1/3)

You're so sweet! I'm sure I will love it ❤️
