Disabled people deserve healthcare, housing, food and support. They deserve accommodations. They don’t deserve to be treated as “less than” because they can’t work. No one’s worth should be tied to productivity. Only the top 1% benefits from a system that leaves “non productive” people behind.

Nothing to see here...just the President of the United States inviting the country he illegally declared war on to "take out" 2 major American cities. If that's not treason, what is? 🤬 Law enforcement won't hold him accountable, but we WILL! The beginning of the end is on November 3rd. #VOTE-BLUE 🌊

The government is silent about it because governments do not care about disabled lives. They see us as drains on the system. “Useless eaters”. High cost health users. Anything other than people who are deserving of love and care. Most people will end up disabled at some point. Fight for us.

The ridiculous claim they make is the money will be spent on employment support. But nobody is hiring. And certainly nobody will be hiring the 250,000 severely disabled people claiming these benefits. But of course they don't care about things like facts.
