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.

It's hard to know what to say or whether it's even worth adding to the doom - what I will say is buy your trans friends' weird zine, their album, their art game - buy them a beer or a soda or a meal - give them some ko-fi money for doing absolutely nothing. We gotta protect trans kids and adults.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

I guess we won't care so much about the price of eggs when we're too afraid of food poisoning to eat them. Or we could call our reps? Put financial pressure on? Stuff like that.

Things to think about now that RFK is confirmed and cuts to Medicare/Medicaid are on the table: 1) Get whatever vaccines you can, now. Updated TDap. Covid shot. HPV. etc. 2) Start hoarding meds and medical tools if you can. If you have a good doc, ask them about prescribing extras. 🧵 1/3
