Many behaviors we label as “difficult” are linked to:
🧠 ADHD – impulsivity & focus challenges
😟 Anxiety – heightened stress responses
💔 Trauma – difficulty regulating emotions

The nonsense rationale behind benefit cuts and coercion fails to address the psychological and social causes of distress eg poverty and lack of basic support. The application of benefit cuts and coercion is discriminatory and unjust 4/4 #SupportNotPunish

Dunno about anyone else but I am getting some hate on the basis of AuDHD, likely thanks to @UKLabour whose 'welfare' policy fails to acknowledge barriers faced by ppl unable to work due to disability. @UKLabour rhetoric is fostering hate & division, betraying vulnerable ppl #SupportNotPunish

@clairezagorski.bsky.social I made this image into large 3”x3” stickers last year, and passed them out so people could put them in first aid boxes or wherever.
Any suggestions for improvement?

Some states already required these work requirements rules before *NEWSFLASH* It didn't work. Medicaid should focus on health care, not policing work status. We need policies that uplift and support, not ones that create additional obstacles. 💙 #HealthCareForAll #MedicaidMatters #SupportNotPunish
