It’s up to the discretion of RFK Jr to define what ”medically frail” is when it comes to potential Medicaid work requirement exemptions—which may play a huge role in deciding which chronically ill and disabled people could qualify. My latest for @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

RFK Jr. is getting personal authority over who to kick off of Medicaid

A cardboard sign on a tent at a student encampment in DC. It says at the top in red and black letters "Palestinian Liberation is a Disability Justice issue."  In the center is a photo with the image description: "Picture by Mohammed Zaanoun" Description: A Palestinian man in a wheelchair confronts Israeli forces at the eastern Gaza City border. There is a red, green, white, and black Palestinian flag attached to the wheelchair. He is in front of black, fiery smoke and flames." Below the photo in black, red, and green lettering are the words "Resisting together from solitary confinement to open air prisons."
