If you have ever wondered why our safety net is so inadequate and so full of cruelties and indignities, it is because of anti-Black racism.

Roberta Flack was the music of my mama’s moody teenage & she introduced her to me in my midst of my moody teenage & now we both treasure her music in the part of our hearts that breaks because feeling is better than foregoing the experience of being alive. RIP to this legend.

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth ! Feb 23: Q: Not everything is racism! E.g. Black folk die young because of high BMI from their bad diets! That's on y'all! Right? A: Black people in the UK have higher BMI than white people, and live longer than white people. 🙂🙃 Read the whole linked thread.

If you are a cis person please take 2 minutes to do this. Trans people with non-updated gender markers, historical gender marker changes, and X markers are terrified to travel right now; rolling back this policy would mean a lot.

After I had to explain that becoming a federal food safety inspector requires education and on the job training, it became incredibly clear that people have no idea how much time federal employees spend preventing mass deaths

I have to come back to this bc I'm old enough to remember when this would have brought the entire news cycle to a grinding halt, been biggest story on every front page, and been all the news was talking about all week.

Another reminder for those who still seem to have not understood: Chat programs do not “look up” information and then repeat it. They write plausible language in answer to a prompt based on their data set. References will use real people, journals & words from titles, but will not truly exist.

Where are all the Dem consultants who supposedly do "comms" work at? Where's the website put together with succinct talking points, one pagers, posters that folks can easily download, print and pass out in their communities? Why aren't they doing this work PRO-BONO?

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

the ultimate goal of the anti diversity, equity, and inclusion was always just a white power resegregation movement and part of the fascist plan to remake America in its image. If we do not stop it now, it ends in the reenslavement of anyone who is not a white, property owning straight male.

Government’s wins are often invisible: Systems that avoid plane crashes; alliances that avert war; surveillance that prevent pandemics. Government wins are often the avoidance of loss. So how do we tell the story of the destruction of government? The story of future losses not averted?

When you hear “Make America Healthy Again” please remember who the Nazi’s targeted first. They wanted to make Germany healthy and “pure” The Aktion T4 program mass murdered people with disabilities. They tested the gas chambers on us. Please do not obey in advance. Speak out. Save lives.

It’s high time we start being honest about what’s behind a lot of the push towards “wellness”. It’s ableism and eugenics. Its scared people who can’t face the fact that they could lose their health at any moment. It’s people who desperately need to cling to control. 🧵

What we’re learning about the abduction, months of torture, and murder of Sam Nordquist for being transgender should stop the whole world in its tracks. His suffering is as if Matthew Shepard’s slaying was dragged out for weeks not days. May he forever rest in power.
