Disabled and disability aren't slurs. There is no shame in being disabled or part of the disability community. Trying to avoid using the words disabled or disability puts shame on the words and is actually ableism and eugenics. Knock it off.

Eugenics & fascism go hand in hand. White supremacists don’t want disabled people around. We remind them of their fragility. We question their supremacy. Stand up for disabled people. Fight mask bans, Medicaid & Medicare cuts. Wear a mask. It’s one of the most powerful things you can do.

🧵 As always centrists are trying construct a narrative to blame the left for the predictable outcomes of their own policy. They are arguing that the left is to blame for the rise of the far right. The argument goes that because the left oppose bigotry that bigotry is on the rise.

We’re still in a global pandemic. The threat of Covid has not passed. We’re seeing an increase in bird flu, measles, TB & more. Public health has been dying a slow & painful death for years. We are on our own. The good news? Masks work for more than just Covid! My complete guide to respirators 👇🏼

You have to love it when the Judge implies that a homeless wino passed out in front of the courthouse could argue your case as well as you're doing now:

I don’t want to share the video because I think folks have seen it enough, but the media need to start loudly calling out these Sieg Heil’s for what they are. A Nazi salute. A rallying cry for white supremacists. A hateful, dangerous symbol of a group who killed millions It’s not an awkward gesture

June 26th is gonna be a lot warmer than Feb. 21. I would expect an order of magnitude more people inside and outside the court. I didn't think their going to give him anything close to a fair trial and the cops are STILL withholding the evidence they claim to have.

Starting a new thread here for updates inside the courtroom for Luigi Mangione's follow-up appearance, which I'm anticipating will be very brief.

Astonishing crowd inside Manhattan Criminal Court two hours before Luigi Mangione’s follow-up appearance. Organized chaos, people are in cordoned-off gaggles down the full length of the hall, chatting casually. Feels reminiscent of fans waiting for a concert ticket line to open.

The BBC doesn't work the Government have let it turn into a billionaire controlled propaganda station for Israel, the USA and the Far Right. It should be closed down and replaced by a BBC run by the people who pay for it. And YOU should select who is in control.

There are many complex disputes and conflicts all over the world. But "complex" doesn't mean "morally ambiguous," and somehow I've managed to never ask ChatGPT to tell me who is right.

I’m so tired of disabled people being left behind in almost every way. In education, in economics, in diversity, in equity, I could go on. With things shifting and society uprising, disabled people are usually the last to be thought of. I can’t tell you how traumatizing it is to be abandoned.
