Kamala Harris's campaign has policies on her website. On the disability beat, Harris pledges to end subminimum wage labor for people with disabilities and "expanding high-quality home care services for seniors and people with disabilities." #CripTheVotekamalaharris.com/issues/

Vice President Harris cast the deciding vote on the American Rescue Plan, which made historic investments in the care economy. As President, she will fight to lower care costs for American families, including by expanding high-quality home care services for seniors and people with disabilities and ensuring hardworking families can afford high-quality child care, all while ensuring that care workers are paid a living wage and treated with the dignity and respect they deserve.

I was stunned to realize that people with disabilities receive so little in food assistance today. A friend with CP and another with developmental disabilities told me they receive $15/month. In the 1970s, my brothers and I received $15/month in food stamps. That amount wasn't enough for us then.

Raising the asset limit costs nothing and that would be a huge improvement to ppl . We have only been asking for it forever. Likewise marriage penalty.

☕😏 how magnanimous, esp given how many millions more people with disabilities harris & her peers have been complicit in creating,, 🤌🏽

graph of cumulative confirmed covid-19 deaths from Our World in Data (data source WHO COVID-19 Dashboard)

biden/harris administration enters office jan. 20, 2021,,

the population of the U.S. is only ~4% of the world's population & has far outpaced any other country in covid-19 deaths

they understood from the start
what they could do to prevent our harm & deaths
& they're choosing not to do them so their economy
can "get back to normal", providing their & their donors'
profits & political power off our harm,,

Cynically thinking to myself, promises of the most wonderful kind will be meaningless WITHOUT a SUPPORTIVE CONGRESS. #VoteBlueDownBallot
