Viewing disability and sickness as punishment to people we don't like is a hallmark of eugenics.

It is so outrageously ableist to say we should ban masks & stop people from protecting their health & the health of those around you. COVID is still spreading. People are still dying from COVID. Millions of people are struggling with #LongCOVID. And COVID is just one of many reasons to mask

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.

The most frustrating aspect of the UCP’s decision to no longer fund Covid vaccines is that it will most affect the working poor. The heroes of Covid who worked fast food, delivered groceries, cleaned public spaces & kept us all going. #ableg

Me too. I am literally the ONE generation of women who had full reproductive age bodily autonomy - after Roe and before Dobbs. One. Only ONE generation of American women had these rights. Think about that.

It should not be lost on anyone that Minnesota Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot to death in her home last night by an assassin, was a gun safety advocate who worked tirelessly to protect her constituents from gun violence.

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

Since that fateful November day, I, along with millions of others, knew it was all wrong. The question was how? How did they do it? How do all the puzzle pieces fit together. Here it is. Read it, share it with everyone, and press the media. Let’s make this the beginning of their end. #trumplost

Disability accommodations don't hurt or incovenience anyone. They usually make access better for everyone. This is a huge mistake and they'll have to retrofit it later if they don't build it now.

I know there's a lot going on, but the Secretary of Homeland Security declaring that federal troops are in California and Los Angeles to "liberate" the state and city from its duly-elected leaders really is a fourteen-alarm fire.

Last night, Capitol Police arrested roughly 60 veterans and their family members outside the U.S. Capitol. The group had gathered to hold a peaceful sit-in on the Capitol steps, but police intentionally set up a barrier of bike racks to prevent them from demonstrating.

I grew up two towns away from Lynn. It's a historic destination for immigrants and refugees. Walking along the promenade by the seashore, you can hear Spanish, Russian, Haitian Creole, and more. Lynn's immigrant communities are its economic engine. Justice for Alejandro Reyes.

I don’t feel bad that National Guard are sleeping on the floor with no access to bathrooms. we have testimony from children who were detained by ICE that they had to sleep on concrete floors, didn’t have access to bathrooms and were fed crackers for meals.

ICE targets immigrants. RFK Jr targets the disabled, elderly & vulnerable. The whole regime targets marginalized people, those living in poverty and LGBTQ+ individuals. They’re targeting everyone who they’ve deemed “less than”. Everyone is expendable under fascism. It comes for all eventually.

I don't want to hear "Happy Pride" from these corporations. I want to hear, "We have fixed all the homophobic & transphobic garbage happening; everyone is safe now and healthcare is free. And also all the queer shows you want to watch on other streaming platforms are now available to you."

As an epidemiologist I feel like I cant breathe. I genuinely cant breathe having to act normal. Like nothing is happening. Like people arent going to die because a cult is in charge of the country. They are a cult. Republicans are a fascist death cult. Firing ALL cancer doctors & vaccine specialists

There are still people who think what's happening in Palestine and what's happening in LA are two completely unrelated issues. Dear God the American education system has done so much damage.

again, i get that it’s usually well-intentioned, but it’d be great to stop saying “hardworking immigrants” as it implies that immigrants should only be valued for labor, & specifically for citizens + the state, when immigrants should be treated well because we are, well, people

Six infants in Ontario have been born with congenital measles since last fall. They were infected in the womb through mothers who were not vaccinated. This is heartbreaking, preventable and a result of the spread of anti-vax disinformation.

One of the reasons I think “defund the police” is a great slogan is that you get to repeatedly tell people that studies show that police don’t actually solve murders, and in fact one-third of stranger-murders are committed by police.

What radicalized me against the police are the 2020 George Floyd protests in Brooklyn. Peaceful marches descended into violence as the NYPD rioted. They pepper sprayed elected officials and beat protesters with batons. The press blamed us for it. I've never trusted the media on protests since.

Healthcare for seniors is not waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is not waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon is waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens is waste, fraud, and abuse.
