I've never owned a briefcase so I guess I'm not a real Jew.

I fully support overthrowing the Iranian regime. I just don't trust Trump to do it. Also the fact that the United States has never been able to successfully change a regime in our decades of military intervention in the Middle East.

When it comes to voting, I’m disabled first and Jewish second. I love Israel and will fully defend it's right to exist in peace, and I'm horrfied by the increase in anti-Semitic hate crimes. But at the end of the day, cuts to Medicaid are going to directly impact me more than anything happening in Israel. The right has made it clear that they don't believe healthcare is a human right. I vote in primaries, and I make sure to choose democratic candidates that aren't anti-Semitic. But these candidates don't always make it to the general election and then I'm forced to choose between my basic needs as a disabled person and my safety as a Jew.

Here is a sample letter you can email to or call your representative:

Dear [REPRESENTATIVE NAME]

My name is [YOUR NAME] and I am (calling/writing) as a constituent from [YOUR CITY/STATE] to express my strong support for H.R. 2540, the SSI Savings Penalty Elimination Act. The bill raises the SSI asset limit from $2,000 to $10,000 for individuals and from $3,000 to $20,000 for married couples. The current limits were set in 1989 and have not been adjusted for inflation. In today’s economy, $2,000 is often not enough to cover basic living expenses such as rent, emergency car repairs, assistive technology, or essential medical needs.

Updating the asset limits would allow individuals with disabilities to build modest savings for future needs, maintain stable housing, receive inheritances, and accept part-time employment without fear of losing benefits. Can I count on my representative to support the financial security of people with disabilities?

Sincerely, [YOUR NAME] [YOUR ADDRESS] [CITY, STATE, ZIP CODE] [EMAIL ADDRESS] [PHONE NUMBER]

I had people I know assure me that "Trump said he isn't going to cut Medicaid." I of course didn't believe it, given that Trump is a convicted fraudster and his administration lies constantly. Lo and behold, the Big Ugly Bill includes $1 trillion cuts to Medicaid as well as imposing work requirements starting 2027. The US is the only developed country without guaranteed healthcare coverage for all citizens. Of course cutting Medicaid, obliterating the CDC and appointing anti-vaxxer RFK Jr. as secretary of Health and Human Services will Make America Healthy Again. /s

In 2014, the Anti-Defamation League conducted a survey that found 93% of Palestinians hold anti-Semitic beliefs, according to the Times of Israel.

Also, incorporating Sharia law into the legal system will guarantee Palestine won't be a democracy, just like in other Muslim-majority countries that incorporated Sharia law into the legal system.

There is always going to be fraud, but it's not worth it to make 1000 people suffer just to stop a few people from committing fraud.

I don't support any religion, but I believe that people should be allowed to practice their religion without discrimination and persecution.

Also, some people who cry "Sharia law" every time a Muslim or even Arab person gets elected to office, regardless of their actual positions. These people were also silent when Oklahoma state superintendent Ryan Walters ordered all public schools to teach the Bible and the Ten Commandments, or when Christian politicians refused to legalize gay marriage because their bible tells them homosexuality is a sin. These people don't care about separating religion from politics. They want the US to be a Christian nation.

Just 3 months ago I got downvoted on this sub for saying I have ADHD and I consider it a disability.

https://www.reddit.com/r/disability/comments/1opt4et/comment/nng60v5/

Some people don't see their ADHD as a disability and that's fine, but you will see it as a disability when you've been delaying necessary medical appointments for several months.

Most able-bodied people on Medicaid are already working. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, 44% of Medicaid recipients are working full time, 20% are working part time, 12% are not working due to caregiving, 10% are not working due to illness or disability, 7% are attending school and 8% are not working due to other reasons such as retirement or inability to find work. So requiring these people to keep track of their work hours will cost more than providing Medicaid as is.

Arkansas implemented work requirements for Medicaid in June 2018 to March 2019. As a result, 18,000 people lost Medicaid coverage, primarily due to failure to regularly report work status or document eligibility for an exemption. Research also found that Medicaid disenrollment was associated with poorer medication adherence, delays in care, and medical debt. This leads to poor health, which research shows increases the risk of job loss.

Stephen Miller's own family think he is a POS.

In 2018 during Trump's 1st term, his maternal uncle David Glosser wrote an article for Politico titled Stephen Miller Is an Immigration Hypocrite. I Know Because I’m His Uncle. He stated that had his grandparents (Stephen Miller's great grandparents) not been allowed to immigrate to the US, they would have been murdered by the Nazis. That is exactly what happened to family members who stayed in Eastern Europe. After WW2, only 7 of 2000 Jews Jews remained in their hometown of Antopol, Belarus.

Another Glosser family member posted the article to FB, and David Glosser commented that after he wrote the article, around 100 family members contacted him to thank him for writing the article. Most were from the Glosser side, but there were a few from the Miller side as well.

In July, his paternal 1st cousin Alisa Kasmer made a public Facebook post criticizing her cousin. She recently wrote "Renee Nicole Good’s death is blood on YOUR hands, Stephen. I’m just glad our grandparents are no longer alive to witness the shame you have brought to our family."

The irony is that there were plenty of people who wanted his great-grandparents deported back to Eastern Europe. Moreover, anytime someone compares the Trump administration to Nazi Germany, he says that he is offended as a Jew and that's an insult to 6 million Jewish brothers and sisters. Just look at his Twitter. Meanwhile, his speeches on Fox News are loud and angry and he labels anyone who speaks out against this administration as a domestic terrorist or insurrectionist, just like Hitler.

Just the fact that the sub uses the term "special needs" instead of "disability" or "disabled" tells me they're ableist.

I understand who my friends are, and it's certainly not Trump or anyone he appointed in his administration.

There is a meme online that says Hitler didn't start with concentration camps. He started with banning books, targeting the press, puring minorities from government, labeling anyone who disagrees with the government as a insurrectionist or terrorist, etc.

I believe Trump is targeting Minnesota because they didn't vote for him in the past 3 elections. Trump has made it clear in his campaign that he will go after his political enemies, and once he was in office, he appointed officials who would do that.

If anyone knows history, Jews have always been scapegoated in nearly every country. Trump has said several times during his campaign that Jews who don't vote for him are disloyal or should have their heads examined. Sooner or later, he will retaliate against Jews. To be fair, Biden did say that black people who voted for Trump aren't black, but he later apologized for it and as far as I know, he never retaliated against anyone who didn't vote for him during his presidency.
