Ooh boy there’s a LOT of ableist justifications in the replies here from people mad at Brendel. If you’re mocking someone saying they deserve to not get their medicine that is VITAL to living because of their disability, that is ableism.

A lot of people who’ve posted that “I don’t know how to explain that you should care about other people” quote need to know that they should care about other people. I want my tax dollars to go to paying for insulin for the most vile MAGA asshole you ever heard of; that’s part of “everyone”.

While this sounds great in theory, the whole culture of the police would need to change, especially in regards to disabled people. An autistic person may not have the wherewithal to pull out a card during a meltdown before they're shot/hit by cops. Things escalate quickly; I doubt this will help.1/1

I need to emphasize: this is comically ineffective You can't "overwhelm the algorithms" when the algorithms can be tweaked in realtime by malevolent actors who want the misinformation See, e.g., ExTwitter

something interesting about it is that I’ve seen more pushback from the other Trump people running agencies than I have anything else Elon does, I think everyone else is starting to get pretty fucking sick of him stepping on their turf all the time

being obsessed with IQ is a good sign that you have nothing in your life to give you actual meaning. (also a good sign you have bell curve-esque beliefs about human equality)

I have work to get to today. Before heading offline, I want to share again that we made a workbook for Let This Radicalize You and if you look on pp. 100-109, you will find a list of countless organizing resources: books, articles, manuals, podcasts etc... It's all there to use.

Just saw a thread about a guy calling into cspan saying his diabetic supplies increased from 5 dollars to 80 dollars and somebody in the comments, probably multiple people but I stopped reading, replied “FAFO” and I can’t stress enough how much you need to stop doing that shit

so much of this really boils down to “I do not know how to make you care about other people” like, sorry to disappoint, but I do think everyone deserves access to the meds they need regardless of political affiliation

Trans people deserve respect, happiness, protection, healthcare, basic human rights. Those who dehumanize and demonize trans people are hateful tyrants.

Cis authors: "I can't write unless I have my perfect cup of tea, steeped to perfection, my favorite playlist, the special pen I bought for making notes, my leather bound notebook, and a lucky feather!" Trans authors: "I wrote this book while the entire government was literally trying to kill me."

If you're represented by a Republican and you care about the post office, how about flyering outside your local post office. Tell folks about the administration's plan to dismantle USPS and tell them to contact their GOP reps. Include local telephone numbers on the fliers. bsky.app/profile/sylv...

I don’t mean to be rude about this, but since Musk isn’t the DOGE administrator, under what authority is he ordering this? If this is an order from Trump, where is it written up and why isn’t it implemented via Cabinet secretaries?

Bunch people accused me of misinformation saying they’re targeting the disease not the people with the disease. I’d like to ask: you think autism and ADHD and neurodivergence is a disease? And why exactly (and how exactly) do you think it’s ok to reduce the number of people with these conditions?

Not gonna pester mama to try and get a better pic, but have some just born yesterday baby jellybeans. (If you want to experience tiny kittens IRL, I strongly recommend fostering or volunteering! Please spay/neuter your pets, there are too many homeless kittens born every year.)

I am begging news folks to NOT post the exact emails when they're sent a copy. They will all have markers to trap leakers. Don't copy/paste it - type it out and fix all typos before publishing.

I think it’s not helpful to repeat claims that the administration is working on eliminating “DEIA” as though it’s some kind of corporate strategy; just say explicitly that they’re trying to eliminate diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, and explain how.

I need everyone to be crystal clear that this is a continuation of RFK and the wellness community’s obsession with the elimination of the disabled and the chronically ill. They are disgusted by us, they view illness and disability as weakness, and they believe in using eugenics to disappear us.
