the US minimum wage that we all agree is too low to live on ($15,080/yr) is far more than many legally disabled people receive in benefits

the maximum SSI for a single person is $8,796/yr
if a disabled person marries another, each drops to a max of $6,600/yr

while you’re fighting for 15 maybe look at that too

Not to mention we aren’t allowed to have more than $2,000 saved at a time. EVER. Like EVER or we lose all benefits completely. In the bank, in cash, it doesn’t matter. The government literally keeps us poor, while also making us pay immense amounts of money for health care that we require to even survive or function (let alone work enough to be able to get off of benefits, not to mention that there are a ton of people who will never be able to do that anyways). It’s a very, very broken system and not one that was ever meant to actually help anyone. 

Plus, “marriage equality” is still a huge problem for disabled people (as you can see), which is something almost everyone is ignorant to/doesn’t care about. 

DO NOT LEAVE DISABLED PEOPLE OUT OF YOUR ACTIVISM.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has shot to stardom entirely on the back of misplaced right-wing attacks, mostly because she stands her ground and tells the conservatives to go fuck themselves.

Imagine if literally any other Democrat had a spine.

Democrats are so used to just saying “oh golly gee, we better not piss off Fox News, lets just not say anything or do anything even slightly left-wing,” even though they piss off Fox News literally no matter what they do.

Ocasio-Cortez doesn’t give a fuck, tells the attackers that she doesn’t give a fuck, and therefore bewilders them and elevates herself and everything she stands for. If Democrats don’t learn the lesson here, they really are fucking useless.
