This! Including masking up with high-quality N95 or better respirators during marches and rallies to protect yourself and your comrades. We can’t march or get much done if we are down with flu, long COVID, etc. Eugenics and ableism does not belong in progressive circles.
fascism will disabled a lot of people, particularly folks who are organizing and resisting. so what will it take for the left to actually care about disabled people?

what a gift it was to have @sfdirewolf.bsky.social as a friend in this life. her wisdom, her genuine care for her people, her thoughtfulness, her deep deep love for community. i am really not sure how the world keeps turning without her, but knowing her, she’ll figure out a way to keep us going.

today a UN body announced famine is in Gaza. this oped from New Disabled South connects US funding of Israel's starvation campaign to Trump's BBB cutting SNAP as fundamentally American. "The U.S. allegedly has no money to feed its children or the world’s children, but has plenty of money for war."
For @teenvogue.com, I wrote about America’s favorite bipartisan pastime: starving people at home and abroad. As officials confirm what we already know, that there is a famine in Gaza, I hope we can all remember that none of this is unavoidable. It is a choice.

"At home and abroad, the U.S. government is participating in starving people, particularly children, and calling it policy. It’s more than policy, though. It’s woven into the fabric of this country since its inception." Read our latest op-ed from @thetattooedjew.com ⤵️
