This is part of why we have been trying to help non-Disabled people avoid getting Long COVID. Because there is nowhere in the world Disabled people have it objectively good. Relatively good as compared to others, in some places, sure. Objectively actually good? No.

New—Social Security Administration (SSA) Commissioner stepped down bc she wouldn't comply w/ DOGE. Lower-level staffer Leland Dudek replaced her. In a now-deleted LinkedIn post (pre-promotion) shared w/ me, he said he was placed on admin leave bc he "circumvented the chain of command" to help DOGE.

Ontario universities are assuming the costs for 28,000(!!!) domestic students for whom they receive no public funding, @kunalchaudhary.bsky.social writes. 😱 It's becoming financially untenable. In this fantastic piece for @thelocal.to, he explains how we got here: thelocal.to/ontario-post...

Google, Meta, X, Microsoft, Amazon are aligned against us, in support of fascists. You might say they are fascist, because none of this gestures around could happen without them.

If you care about the destruction of post-secondary in Ontario You should vote for a candidate you feel will be most likely to defeat Ford. This is what disparaging humanities does, tying programs to employability. Also lines up with established bigotry. wgsj.ca/2025/02/21/i...

Most of Doug’s cabinet members came bearing big fat cheques for their ridings. He armed them with cash in solid blue rural ridings. Of course these Mayors love them. We got ours in Midland. Sure hope our healthcare was worth it.

Ensuring you receive no education is the next step in #NoNewsAtAll School boards and post-secondary institutions have been bankrupted by design, just like the hospital system. York University will be putting a private med school in the Vaughan healthcare precinct, with Mob Hospital as the hub.

They are deliberately crossing the red lines, in order to make the unacceptable commonplace and, eventually, acceptable again.

ultimately, RAINN and other groups will lose their funding, because the Trump admin is explicitly ideologically opposed to rape prevention. All this cowardice does is demonstrate who RAINN considers an acceptable loss. Trans women have always known we are seen this way.

The number of people who see something like this doesn't matter at all unless it moves opinions & meets campaign goals. FOI the creative brief. FOI any baseline attitudinal measurement pre-campaign. FOI any attitudinal measurement post-campaign.

Doug Ford's $$$ US ad buy continues. Ford sponsored Hannity's prime time FOX news show where Trump and Musk were interviewed. The sponsorship announcement was followed by an ON ad that "showcase[d] the economic ties betw the 2 countries". Here's a 🎁link. www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/f4fdce1...

Umberto Eco put together a now-famous list of 14 attributes of fascistic states. I'm going to discuss each of them in hopes this helps ppl understand that fascism is not just a buzzword. We're going to go through these by theme, so strap in. 🧵

The Nazis are burning down the parts of government that help people while telling their base that the problem is not the arsonists but the marginalized communities also struggling under the boot of the state. We keep asking "why are they doing this," and it's because you have neo Nazis in charge.

Ok when rescheduling a weekly event- first looking at a new day the same week, then just skipping, do you assume the next event would be the same day as usual, or the alternate day proposed during rescheduling but the next week.

Is there a cartoon adaptation of the Blob (1988) but blob is little, & "friends" with a human? I cannot get "memories" of this show out of my mind, and periodically remember it. Did it ever exist? No longer sure it was anything but a dream.

Peter Marocco’s turbulent tenure during the last Trump administration sheds light on his current efforts to destroy the American foreign aid system from the inside out. Current and former officials see it as a campaign of retribution against those who opposed his earlier work. 👇

Far too many of you fail to understand you can resist fascism without demanding a deepening loyalty to the nation-state...especially since extreme nationalism is literally one of the hallmarks of fascism. Indigenous Ppls are not the enemy, and we are not going to be forced to reify our colonizers.

We have to start changing how we talk about these facilities. The Guantanamo 'detention centre' is a concentration camp. The proposed 'wellness farms' would also be a concentration camp. This isn't about making America healthy... this is eugenics and fascism. Call it what it is.

The fact is, Canada is deeply implicated in the same kind of fascist forces we see at play in the U.S. In fact, many of the alt-right thought leaders there are Canadians! So if you want to fight this you MUST root it out at home first, and nationalism isn't know for that kind of nuance. Do better.

Funding has dropped by $1500 per student in #OntEd under the Ford government. Our schools are literally crumbling, and supports for student needs have been stripped away. Ontario students deserve better. Please vote accordingly.

History buffs will know that every authoritarian leader eventually converges on some version of: "I am the state. I can not break the law, I am the law, the law is instantiated in me." Our march to authoritarianism so far has been excruciatingly by-the-book. Hitting every beat. No surprises.
