It's horrifying. And the way it's being done...we both got emails from SS this morning saying that the SSA is celebrating the passage of this legislation. It is completely inappropriate to get a blatantly political email from the SSA. There should be an outcry about this alone, but then there is so much to rage against one doesn't know where to start sometimes. We are in very dark times. And the worst part of it is that there is a huge part of the populace who has no idea what's coming and will defend things they don't fully understand.
As always, your words are meaningful and support the clear, sad facts. But the best part of this for me is the "meme" you created. It is my understanding that we DO answer eventually for the impact of every thought and deed we put out into the universe. And it undoubtedly takes far longer--on "the Other Side"-- than a night of insane destructive voting to overcome and help those affected by our violations of the Laws. The ripple effect of this shameless selfishness and cruelty on children and families worldwide is only the beginnings of generations of unnecessary misery. We must stay in the fight!
And once again, the cuts in Medicaid, impacting Medicare, and private health insurance costs and coverage will literally kill and disable more people. I'm scurrying around battling with my City Council to get a budget for Holyoke's disabled residents of all ages knowing they are the largest marginalized group of people to get "nailed" by all this. I'm Chair of our Commission on Disability. This is DISABILITY PRIDE MONTH. When you're finally ready to answer my question about when are you and other public health officials going to pass your microphone to this group of people and what are you doing about it, please contact me.

This may be my tipping point. Does Timothy Snyder have a guest room in Toronto?
