I’ve been saying to be wary of those who are trying to downplay what our community experienced at Lake and Bloomington. Please save all the documentation so people are held accountable. From ICE in our community, to MPD assisting with crowd control with a side of police brutality.

The media have been complicit with the government in covering up the threat of the ongoing Covid pandemic and the risks to the public. If they’re recommending N95s, we should pay attention. They don’t suggest masks lightly.

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

There’s something particularly cruel about restricting access to COVID vaccines in a country that doesn’t provide universal healthcare to its citizens. Where Long Covid could quickly bankrupt you. Healthcare should be a basic human right (and that includes vaccinations)

I want to offer a public apology to FDA head Marty Makary for calling him an ignorant piece of shit in a post last night. I just learned he is an islet transplant surgeon. Yes, the cells that produce insulin. I was wrong. He is not ignorant. This piece of shit knows exactly what he is doing.

Disability is not something to be afraid of. It’ll happen to most of us eventually. The human body is frail. It breaks down. We age. We get sick. We have accidents. It’s part of life. It’s not a moral failing. Engage with us. Learn. We all benefit from disability justice.

“All of these precautions have kept me safe. In contrast, almost all my colleagues have had COVID at least once—some multiple times. Some even have Long COVID.” Mitigations work! Repeat infections are not inevitable. Grateful to the HCWs still masking & protecting themselves and their patients

Part of the ongoing pain of being COVID-safe in a world hellbent on pretending like COVID no longer exists is knowing that if we couldn’t acknowledge and solve this problem, then it’s even more unlikely humanity will be able to solve other pressing problems that threaten us, such as climate change.

If you’re angry or upset at the rise of fascism and eugenics, one of the first things you should be doing is wearing a mask. The government convinced people that those who are disabled or higher risk are disposable. By taking care of the most vulnerable you’re going against fascism and eugenics.
