Occam’s Razor works on Nazis, too. It is the opposite of complicated.

The evergreen argument annoying people like us digital rights activists have been making for decades to politicians is coming true: Imagine the power you just created being in the hands of the ‘bad guys’. What does it look like now?

The elderly are discriminated against if they can’t use a mobile or the internet. If you have vision loss it’s extremely tough to sort out the most basic of banking transactions and many have lost more independence because they rely on family members 🧵

Gonna need more non-disabled people to see stuff like this and understand that ableism is also one of the integral -isms the right is devoted to, so it should be jettisoned whenever and in whomever you encounter it

And it's important that people realise ableism is not just discrimination against disabled folks, but an entire set of ways of relating and thinking which privileges even the IDEA of ability as somehow superior, while framing those not meeting the ableist ideal as LESSER.

Shocked to learn that oligarchs who didn't give a shit about diversity until mass protests in the aftermath of a Black man murdered by police… once again don't give a shit about diversity. Hubris makes the mask slip.

America's two-party system absolutely hobbles the effectiveness of mass protests. The French National assembly has like 7-10 parties holding seats at any given time. French politicians can take up the protesters' cause and it actually means something.

When ordered by Nazis to give lists of disabled people by disability severity, some doctors sent back exaggerated data to protect patients from forced work They didn't know that the "most disabled" were to be killed first The moral here isn't to tell the truth It's to never co-operate with Nazis

Just weeks before the 🇩🇪 election, the #farright #AfD received a huge (>2 million Euros) donation from an 🇦🇹 citizen who is not particularly rich. Now the Austrian authorities say they can trace the money to a shady billionaire in 🇨🇭, who has form for illegally funneling 💶 to the party.

As I navigate my job search, I’ve been reflecting. I’ve been an engineer for years, but I’m also passionate about art, design, outreach, etc Has anyone here moved from engineering to roles like Product Mgmt, UX, or Dev Advocacy? I’m curious about these paths and would love to hear your experiences!

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Fascists want people divided, uninformed, angry and afraid. Don’t let them win. Get a library card. Grab some encyclopedias. Follow independent journalists. Take online courses. Elevate voices different than your own. Make a commitment to being as informed, inclusive, kind and loving as possible.

“The doctor did what? You need to lodge a complaint!” I understand why so many people say this. But please realize if you’re disabled, you’ve likely been mistreated in healthcare settings for your entire life. You’ve lodged complaints. You’ve asked for managers. The system works against you

Type 1 diabetes is a lifelong chronic illness. It cannot be cured, now or in the future. Insulin keeps us alive. It costs around $2 to make a vial of insulin that’s then priced at hundreds of dollars bc we die w/o it. It’s fucking immoral & inhumane. Insulin should be free.

"Music NFTs" are funny cos they're trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist. It's not that musicians & other artists can't get paid, or don't get paid. The people who distribute us just do not want to pay us. You can't fix that with new technology. You fix it by attacking the distributors.

Friends, May we never forget that while negotiations,statements, addresses and the rest of the (undoubtedly important) diplomacy track are happening,exhausted #Ukrainian men &women in military uniform are holding back evil on the frontlines. Without them,there would be no diplomacy track at all.

Keep thinking about how the Nazis had to physically go to Hirschfeld’s clinic & loot it & burn the books themselves. Meanwhile proud American organisations preemptively delete and fire because the king told them to.

If you're thinking about gardening as a way to supplement food, a couple suggestions: 1) Talk to your neighbors. You don't have to grow everything you want yourself, you don't have to start from scratch with zero idea about what to grow where you are. Talk to people.
