There are no distractions. It's all bad. Systematically stripping trans people of their rights, guys in balaclavas shoving any brown person with a tattoo into a ummarked vans, ending healthcare for millions. It's all in service of fascism and technofeudalism. It's all one thing. That's the point.

Mahmoud Khalil is free.

The thing about the Khalil case is that it's very very good that he's free now but you can't have it take three months between "the government kidnaps you off the street for no basis reason whatsoever" and "a judge makes them let you go." You just can't.

New York City (and state) have both expressed interest in mask bans. These discriminatory ugly laws put lives at risk. They exclude disabled people from public spaces while increasing police harassment of marginalized individuals. Everyone deserves the legal right to mask up!

Attendees should not be posting pictures with faces of people at protests, but often do - protect your health and your privacy with a mask!

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

I don't usually post just to tear something apart, but I'm afraid some people won't see what's actually wrong with this one. Think about how many federal holidays we have that are explicitly Christian. Think about how many celebrate the US Military. Now look at the date he posted this.

I’m seeing a lot of people posting about how sick they are with a “summer flu” Main complaints? Fatigue, extremely sore throat, fever and loss of smell. It’s Covid. The Nimbus variant is here & appears to be more transmissible. It’s time to wear a respirator, clean the air & stay home when sick!

Maybe I'm just too stupid to understand this but I don't get how this is time saving. If I had an assistant who made things up 30% of the time, I'd have to check 100% of their work. How is this saving me time or energy

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

I just like to post these data from time to time to puncture the mythological aura of mid 20th c protests. They were less popular than pretty much any 21st c mass action & people criticizing them used the same lines. Protest is about people coming together, shaping narratives, & building power.

Home from the hospital! And I'm so glad to say that as a fat, queer, disabled person, I was treated with nothing but respect and care. - No one implied that my condition was my fault even though obesity is nominally a risk factor. (cont)

Free N95 Masks are up in my store! There's a limit of 5 individual masks per order. You'd be responsible for the shipping. If you'd like more than 5, please email me! I'm just giving back to the community and trying to encourage masking! Link: bibipins.com/products/3m-...

Talking to my mom on the phone this morning crystalized for me how willfully ignorant she is. I knew she wouldn't talk about politics almost ever, which is part of how she can still be with my Trump-supporting father, but apparently she deliberately doesn't read or watch the news.

How many times did we fucking tell you. You gave up on wearing masks. You let them demonize masks. So they got to write the rules. And the rules are cops “discretion” is that disabled people should be arrested. Because when ableds get to decide who is actually disabled, we lose. Every time.

This is why disabled people have been begging you to mask up for years. This is why we’ve said that mask bans pose a threat to our survival. This is why we don’t want folks to say ICE agents are “wearing masks”. Society is being conditioned to see masking as “bad”. It will kill us.

The Nazis targeted disabled people first & pioneered the term “useless eater” They convinced the masses that we were less than”. People taking up resources & not contributing in any way. When Dr Oz says we must “prove our worth” to get Medicaid, he’s just resurrecting the concept. Don’t let him

I really really needed to see that people hadn't given up and accepted this shit as inevitable, or (even worse) embraced it. And today showed us that beautifully. No one wanted in on his tank show, but people WERE HUNGRY to tell him to go fuck himself.

Fun fact: in the 1960s, Civil Rights protestors were given literal classes on nonviolent protest; they didn't all just spontaneously know what to do. So, if you're planning on showing up, this weekend: read this comic. And if you're staying home, signal-boost it/link it around.

RFK Jr now going after ALL vaccines. He argues that the Covid vaccine (which he’s restricted) was the only one that had proper safety testing. He says they “dysregulate the immune system”. Get your boosters. He’s setting the stage for “natural immunity” where only “the strong survive” Eugenics.

Summary of day 2 of employment Good news: I signed up for health insurance today. Bad news: I apparently fucked up my automatic bill payment for my COBRA and haven't had insurance since the start of May, so I will have some painful medical bills show up sometime in the next few months.

If you want to show solidarity with disabled please, please mask up (ideally an N95 or better). Public health is being gutted. Medicaid is on the chopping block. Fascism is here & fascists always target the disabled. By masking you help protect yourself & us. It’s a powerful form of resistance.
