#disabledsky #ProtectMedicaid Sadly, Governor Newsom is another example of politicians catering to the wealthy, elite donor class instead of making sure the people he was elected to serve get what they need.

Gov. Gavin Newsom portrays himself as a resistance leader—though in his budget proposal, he is once again attacking Medicaid funded home care that helps disabled people live independently. My latest for @motherjones.com www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Hand in Hand member Julia Feinberg spoke with @juliametraux.bsky.social of @motherjones.com to discuss the devastating impact IHSS cuts would have on her life and the millions of Californians who rely on it. 🧵 1/2 #FundMediCal #CABudget www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Defund ICE. Defund War. Fund Care.

“We feel like it’s life or death … We’re prepared to keep fighting, because we know what’s at stake.” It feels like it’s life or death, because for many it may be. Nationwide the fignt to #ProtectMedicaid continues, with looming cuts not so far into the future. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

"Trump administration rules are keeping immigrant kids detained, even when their parents are available to care for them. Families are using a new legal tool to free them. They’ve started filing habeas corpus petitions, which allege that the prolonged shelter stays amount to unlawful detention.”

Things that are required for human survival shouldn’t be locked behind a paywall.

CA is facing cuts to Medi-Cal their state funded Medicaid program — cuts we are actively fighting. If they hadn’t already been hearing us — we hope they’re hearing us now! #ProtectMedicaid #FundMediCal www.nytimes.com/2026/05/13/u...

Yesterday we showed up at City Hall alongside our partners in the People's Budget Coalition to deliver more than 1,500 postcards to Mayor Lurie before he submits his next draft of the budget. No cuts to our communities! We demand a people's budget, not one that serves billionaires and police!

Children, disabled people and older adults will be detrimentally affected by the federal government's careless tactics. #ProtectMedicaid

"Across the country, we value our independence, dignity, and looking out for one another. Strengthening home and community based care and investing in the workforce behind it, reflects those values... it’s time for Congress and our federal policy to catch up."👈 www.washingtonpost.com/ripple/2026/...

Defund ICE. Fund Care. 🗣️

ICYMI: Yesterday was Mother’s Day — even though the day has passed, we’re still calling for “Affordability and Family Reunification.” Until we invest in care. Until we free them all. Defund ICE. Fund Care. Read more … 🧵 1/3 #MothersDay2026 💐 www.commondream s.org/news/progressive-mother-s-day

This Mother’s Day, faith leaders and community members are delivering yellow flowers to moms being held in immigration detention and separated from their children. “We want them to know there are some people who love them,” Pastor Maria Santa Cruz said. ✍️: @tusk81.bsky.social

Miscarriages. Third trimester deportations. Substandard medical care. With @wrcommission.bsky.social, we analyzed new data from DHS — and what it reveals is deeply concerning. There is a growing human rights crisis of pregnant people in immigration detention.🧵⬇️

Sunday is Mother's Day, and we know that mothers are some of the hardest hit by the current care crisis, which continues to worsen due to inhumane policies — including cuts to Medicaid and the targeting of immigrants by ICE. #MothersDay2026 🧵 1/4

Despite a handshake on the NYS budget, the budget for #NY4All continues! 💪

May Day may have passed, but we're still standing together for domestic workers, immigrant workers, and ALL workers –– every day, saying it loud and clear: Fund Care, Not ICE! Throwing it back to us taking to the streets in Washington D.C., New York City, San Bernardino... 💪 #MayDay2026

ICE isn’t leading the headlines anymore. But that doesn’t mean they stopped. So we didn’t stop either. In Philadelphia, we just passed some of the strongest laws in the country to block ICE and protect our communities. Here’s what’s in it 🧵

“US-born male workers in heavily targeted industries like construction saw a decline in work due to President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown. The researchers saw no evidence that employers increased wages to attract US-born workers to fill roles"

We can't trust the federal government to do right by us — but we can trust ourselves to stand up to them. We must be prepared! Pass #NY4All to protect immigrant New Yorkers. @governor.ny.gov — pass it NOW! www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

“It is time to protect the rights of people with disabilities to live in the community.” We’re still in the fight. 💪 #ProtectMedicaid thehill.com/opinion/civi...

Reports of ICE agents injuring an immigrant New Yorker while arresting him, and of NYPD force against protesters at Wyckoff Hospital, raise serious concerns. ICE's presence does not make our city safer—we need ICE out, now.

This 👇 We need #NY4All NOW @governor.ny.gov

CONTENT WARNING: state violence Truly despicable behavior from NYPD last night at wyckoff heights medical center. Cop were openly collaborating with ICE, and a white shirt was captured on camera calling “all Democrats” a “waste of human race.” (🎥 from freedomnews, Patrick Hilsman & protestors OTG)

“By 2034, we project that there will be 311,879 fewer individuals enrolled in Medicaid who receive home care services due to HR1’s changes, a substantial 9.4% reduction” We won’t stop talking about it. It’s not too late to fight back. #ProtectMedicaid www.mcknightshomecare.com/news/over-30...

@juliametraux.bsky.social 👏👏

Fair pay means more than bills. It means time to rest, eat well, and feel safe. Everyone deserves that.

ICE wants to cage up to 10,000 people in industrial warehouses — spaces built for goods, not human beings. On April 25, take action to #StopICEWarehouses. Find an event near you ➡️ social.demcast.com/s/rS4nhblD #CommunitiesNotCages

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: The Senate has narrowly moved forward a budget resolution to fund ICE & CBP — increasing their budget with an additional $140B. We still have an opportunity to block it as it moves to the House. Call your representative TODAY: 202-224-3121 ☎️ Remind them: Defund ICE. Fund Care. 🗣️

A huge thank you to Eleanor J. Bader and @truthout.org for lifting this story — and for including the voices of our members and the work we’re doing to protect immigrant domestic workers. 🧵 1/3 #ImmigrantJustice truthout.org/articles/her...

ICE and CBP are swimming in money. We say: no more. In 2025, Congress gave DHS $170B for immigration enforcement, detention, and deportation over 4 years — with almost no guardrails. Now, Congress wants to hand them *another* blank check. What that means ⤵️
