Disability scholar here yet again to remind you that dropping COVID protections and getting “back to normal” facilitated their vision.
It’s exhausting to point out yet again that abandoning disabled people is eugenics, and eugenics feeds the rise of fascism and to have most ppl just…ignore it

They removed the pride flag from Stonewall. 🏳️🌈 Just a daily reminder that they want to eradicate us. Their white supremacy is transphobic, homophobic and a war against the poor, mentally ill, physically ill, neurodivergent, intellectuals, poets, artists, queers, dissidents. The left. You. Me.

I guess folks are sick of hearing about the invasion of my city, especially as some tiny symbolic concessions have been made and the lawmakers might kind of talk about giving the invaders slightly less money. But it's still happening. We are still invaded. They are still abducting my neighbors.

I can't help connecting the way that neighbors have been keeping one another safe with the way that this encourages you to trust technology to pay attention instead -- you can look away. You don't need to observe or take note of anything around you.

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

The public library is an essential component of a 21st-century left political project as an example of both what is already available to us and what can be improved upon in the future. The library is a public good, and it is free as a public service.

ICE has been holding a disabled Black man for a year!
Rodney Taylor is a double amputee who was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE took him.
He’s been denied his prosthetics & placed in solitary.
His health is declining.
Public outrage might save his life.

I honor Renee Good and Alex Pretti.
& I remind people that there are still families in hiding, unable to go to work or school. There are immigrants, including small children, unlawfully detained in camps. There are Americans of color being targeted and harassed.
Don't let their stories be lost.

Pro tip: If you are attending a rally or action, wear a N95 mask & bring extras to give to others.
High quality masks can serve triple-duty: they prevent you and others from getting sick from airborne viruses, they keep your face warm in the freezing cold, & they can protect against surveillance.
