A woman in Saskatchewan needs surgery for a parathyroid issue and is being offered MAiD instead.
There’s no one in the province who can perform the procedure and the government won’t pay to send her elsewhere.
This is why disability advocates warn about assisted dying

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.

We have enough money to feed, house and provide education & healthcare to all.
We don’t do it because the 1% oppose it.
The billionaire class benefits from keeping the rest of us in poverty.
They hoard the wealth and blame immigrants & marginalized people for economic hardship.
Tax the rich.

Disabled people deserve healthcare.
Disabled people deserve housing.
Disabled people deserve food.
Disabled people deserve support.
Our ability to work and produce should not determine our value.
Disability is not a moral failing. Most people will experience it someday.

You can’t tell if someone is disabled just by looking at them.
There’s no such thing as the “genuinely disabled”.
You are not entitled to a person’s entire medical history just so you can decide whether to believe them or not.
People are not faking disability, most are trying to fake being well.

People need to understand how deeply eugenicist this is.
They’re insinuating that if you “take care of yourself” you will be healthy and should get affordable healthcare.
Disabled people can’t “healthy living” their way out of being disabled.
It’s not a moral failing.
We need healthcare too

Markwayne Mullin on healthcare: "What the president would like to do is say, hey, if you take care of yourself -- you don't smoke, you don't dip, you're not drinking, you're not overweight, you're working out -- then you should pay less than the guy that obviously is not taking care of himself."

DOGE closes & employees worry about criminal charges because Musk has abandoned them
They’ve realized “just following orders” isn’t a defence
The department didn’t end up saving trillions of dollars, but it did kill 600,000 people through cuts to USAID. Many more will continue to die. Lock them up

Emmanuel Garcia is an autistic 15 year old who went missing two months ago.
Houston PD found him the next day, contacted ICE who then sent him to Office of Refugee Resettlement.
His Mom didn’t know where he was for a week.
Wasn’t allowed to see him.
Today he’s finally home!
