Reposted by SabrinaFrances Ryan @francesryan.bsky.social · 18/03/2025At the heart of every attack on disability benefits is the myth disabled people “get perks”: a free car, loads of cash, a life off work. It misrepresents the reality of disability, whilst exploiting low wages and high living costs to make the public envy people in daily pain. 622999984

Reposted by SabrinaColin 🏳️⚧️ @transplantman.bsky.social · 27/02/2025My favorite thing about government leaders is when they’re like “They can’t do that! It’s illegal!” and then do nothing to stop it. So if I steal someone’s identity it’s fraud, but if a billionaire does it, it’s “still fraud but we asked him to stop and he didn’t so our hands are tied”??! 033
