A text-based message states that a dangerous budget, approved by the House and Senate, is anticipated to be signed by the current occupant tomorrow.  Without actions from state and local governments to mitigate the impact, seventeen million people will lose access to healthcare.  Further updates on next steps will be provided by the Leadership Team of Disability Community for Democracy.  A logo for Disability Community for Democracy, Inc. is present.

We will remember who stood with the disability community by voting against this dangerous budget. We will also not forget who voted for this dangerous budget, which steals life-saving benefits from the disability community to pay for tax cuts during Disability Pride Month! #DisabilitySky

The image is a public service announcement urging viewers to call their member of the House to vote against the budget to protect Medicaid and Medicare. The text is in bold, purple font. A phone number, 202-224-3121, is below the call to action. The background features a man in a wheelchair. He is wearing a light blue shirt and gray pants. He is smiling and talking on a cell phone. Behind him are several round, gray spheres. The background is slightly blurred.

The US Senate voted for this Big BS Budget earlier today. We need to call our members of the House to let them know that they need to vote NO! The number to the Capitol Switchboard is 202-224-3121. #HandOffMedicaid #HandOffMedicare

The image contains a statement from the Disability Community for Democracy, Inc. It advocates for upholding the rule of law and against taking individuals off the streets without due process. The statement emphasizes that this is not about left versus right, but about right versus wrong. It highlights the importance of protecting marginalized groups, including those with disabilities, from being denied due process. The message encourages everyone to speak out against injustice, regardless of their political stance, as it is a matter of collective safety and well-being.

The image displays a text-based protest message against a proposed autism registry. The message reads "Say NO to RFK Jr's Autism Registry. Don't obey in advance." It appears to be a call to action against a potential government program being advocated by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., urging people to resist it. The graphic design is simple and direct, using bold black text on a white background to deliver its message with impact. The bottom of the image includes a website address, which is not fully visible but appears to be related to disability advocacy and democracy.
