BOYCOTT NETFLIX!!!

⭐️If you think shit like this is ok, get off of my blog⭐️

I’m having fun blocking all the disgusting fucks supporting this post, you aren’t welcome on my blog if you shame people for harmless things they cannot change, being rude to cishets is no better than being biased against anyone in the LGBT community. This blog is and will ALWAY be safe for LGBT people AND allies. Please don’t let horrible people like that represent us as a whole.

As a bi woman, I have spent my ENTIRE life being terrified of bigotry from BOTH sides. I’ve been shamed by my family for liking women in the past more times than I can count (I come from a conservative Christian family in Alabama, I’ve had my fair share of homophobic encounters, trust me.) and on the other hand, I’ve been shamed for being “too straight” for the LGBT community due to me being bi. I didn’t spend my life trying to hide who I am for so long to see people tear others down for their sexuality on what’s SUPPOSED to be a safe space for everyone.

It’s 2019 people. Stop shaming people for their sexuality, whether they be gay, straight, or anywhere in between (ace folks, I see you too, you are welcome here.) it’s downright disgusting and fighting fire with fire will only cause more of a problem in the end. [this of course excludes those who think “p*dosexuality” is a thing, please seek therapy if you defend that shit]

The whole point is to avoid doing more harm... right? 🙄😒

Here are the specific sections of H.R. 5371 (Engrossed House version) that carry the biggest impact on the social safety net, with citations to the bill text:

---

🧾 Section 115 — “Rescissions or Cancellations of Discretionary Budget Authority”

This section gives agencies the green light to continue prior rescissions (cancellations of funds) by reducing the rate of operations rather than restoring full funding levels.

👉 Impact: This effectively locks in prior funding cuts to programs unless Congress acts to reverse them — a stealth way of keeping budgets for low-income programs permanently lower.

---

🍞 Section 116 — “Domestic Food Programs—Food and Nutrition Service—WIC”

This section authorizes spending “at the rate for operations necessary to maintain participation,” rather than a full appropriation.

👉 Impact: That language sounds neutral, but it means no expansion or adjustment for inflation, leaving programs like WIC frozen in place despite higher food costs and population growth.

---

💸 Section 115(b)(1)–(2) (embedded in same section)

This provision says rescissions will continue at the lesser of the previously specified amount or the actual available balances.

👉 Impact: If there’s leftover or unobligated money for programs like SNAP or TANF, it can be automatically clawed back, instead of being redirected to meet increased need.

---

🏘 Section 155 — HUD Rental Assistance Funding Transfers

This section allows HUD to repurpose unobligated prior-year balances to prevent terminations of rental assistance.

👉 Impact: While it sounds like an emergency protection, it’s actually a sign that new appropriations are inadequate — HUD is told to rob old funds to patch gaps, a hallmark of underfunding.

---

🧮 Budget Control Framework

Throughout the bill, repeated language references continuing prior rescissions and treating certain funds as “emergency designations” without restoring them to full levels.

👉 Impact: This prevents flexibility in responding to crises like rising food insecurity or healthcare costs, cementing austerity levels that disproportionately hit low-income households.

🧩 What’s not in the bill (and that’s the problem)

You’ll notice H.R. 5371 extends programs (like telehealth or Medicare billing) but omits renewals or expansions for core safety net items — SNAP, Medicaid, TANF, and housing vouchers get only continuation language or rescission carryovers, not new authorizations or cost-of-living adjustments. That’s a silent but major form of gutting.
