Eugenics is the tool of the oppressor. We do not need it. We will not use it. Hate to break it to you, but this means: Mentioning “the gene pool” The concept of IQ and BMI Standardized tests “Gifted” AND “special” education Rawdogging viruses “Social Darwinism” “Effective altruism”

We are at the break glass moment on the Democratic Party and its treatment of transgender people, and it is my opinion that if we don’t act now and loudly demand to be heard, we will suffer the consequences of their shift.

This is shameful discriminatory and misogynistic reporting. People aren’t choosing disability to be “cool”. Young women don’t have to “prove” to you that they’re sick. Disability rates are skyrocketing because we’ve left a disabling virus rip through the population for over 6 years.

It may be easier to start listing men who aren't sexual predators.

Alarming story that confirms my own reporting along similar lines: Dan Moraff, the political strategist who plucked Graham Platner out of obscurity to run for senate and barely vetted him, was barred from Rep. Summer Lee’s 2022 campaign after three complaints of sexual misconduct.

My thoughts almost every single day since 2021. Once you see it, you can't unsee it. It's pervasive. The pandemic to fascism pipeline. It became clear with the Covid response (Gov and citizens), where we are now, was inevitable. We opened the doors to fascism with our response. Now, here we are.

"Medicine demands physicians be invulnerable." "The system lacks mechanisms to accommodate chronically ill physicians." "If medicine cannot accommodate physicians disabled by the pandemic they fought, it will never truly serve disabled patients." #USA #Healthcare #Labour

When you see the story about how the world now has its first trillionaire, and when you see the story about how laboratories in Congo have run out of supplies to test for Ebola, it is important to understand that in many ways these are the same story.

The left and Democrats didn’t realize the opportunity COVID created to pass major change. They rushed to move past the crisis/normalize it. GOP did not. That’s a big part of why was able to come back after his abysmal, self-serving handling of a pandemic. Disabled folks were warning us all along

After Plessy v Ferguson it was 58 years before we got a court willing to overturn it. I don’t think Black people who want to vote and women who want to have rights to their bodies and trans people who want to EXIST should have to wait that long because it offends your sense of propriety.

There's a major civil rights protest taking place in Selma, Alabama, right now in response to the SCOTUS decision that weakened the Voting Rights Act and the ongoing attack on Black Americans’ political power (video: defiancedispatch/IG)

About 6 months ago, Marty Makary, Vinay Prasad and Tracy Beth Hoeg falsely claimed that they had data showing that COVID19 vaccines killed 10 children. The public has never seen those data, and we never will, b/c they have all been booted, as they richly deserve for lying to the people of the US.

For all the pandemic deniers out there: "COVID-19 pandemic inflicted a setback of historic proportions. An estimated 22.1 million excess deaths occurred between 2020 and 2023, with nearly a decade of gains in life expectancy & healthy life expectancy wiped out by 2021" iris.who.int/server/api/c...

Every good thing this society half-assedly started due to COVID should've been not just continued but constantly improved upon; but too many of y'all have The Fear, & those programs remind you of the thing that scared you. So instead you burn down your house 'cause your basement made spooky shadows

It's kind of amazing that we showed we could cut child poverty in half for roughly 100 billion/year (absolute peanuts in a 7 trillion dollar budget), did it for a year, and then just stopped doing it.

Extremely worth noting - the Black Zine Fair was a masks-required event! And hundreds of folks came and wore masks and had a great time! This is a doable thing, y'all!

Trans folks: as best you can, tune out the headlines, spend time with one another, build friendship and community. This wave is going to break: their political projects have never been less popular. Were gonna make it through this year and on the other side all our enemies will fall. Stay alive

In the past month I have been in contact with measles, rsv, covid, influenza, and TB. All while being protected with ppe. All these pathogens can be found at your local grocery store. Do not take clean air for granted.

ps: within a few years of all this "risk is low" stuff, SARS-CoV-2 had killed more Canadians than WW2 combat and more Americans than all their wars since 1776 combined.

Yes. Americans obviously aren't smart enough to comprehend and can't possibly understand what they are seeing with their own eyes.

If you’ve read any of the substantive and growing body of research on what C-19 can do to your brain and it has rendered you afraid of the virus, you’re smart.
