Disappointing how many liberals *only now* realize we're sliding into fascism when we raised the alarms on Palestine & the ongoing eugenics of the pandemic response years ago...these same people have been silent about both

Governments, public health and medical authorities know much of this is caused by COVID & other infections, that a lot of this is Long Covid, which they choose to do nothing about and cover up.
They know it. They're lying about not knowing why. They're doing what the tobacco industry did.

ICE should be prohibited from obscuring their faces.
They’re lawless thugs who are killing people in the streets because they know they will get away with it.
But please be wary of bills that ban masks.
Many disabled people need masks to survive.

If you’re feeling helpless amidst the ongoing horrors being perpetrated by ICE… engage in mutual aid.
Donate to someone in need. Give to a community library or food bank.
You could also help Rodney Taylor, a disabled double amputee who’s been held by ICE for a year.

Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse serving veterans. He died trying to protect protestors being assaulted. A group of anonymous & masked men fired chemicals into his face, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him in broad daylight in front of witnesses. Then his government smeared him & defended his murder.

One of the things I keep thinking about is how it won’t just be the job of the next president to rebuild everything broken, but the one after that, and the one after that.

He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.
At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.
Wael died on Friday at age 30.

Reporters, if you wrote about learning loss due to covid school closures, you can write about learning loss due to state terror.
I am not being snarky. I need my colleagues who wrote on covid school lockdowns to engage with this. To be as loud as they have been about prior "learning loss." Hell, you can cite Tom & Mark's AERJ paper so you feel better that there's some econ somewhere in your argument.
"In St. Paul, at least one-fourth of students from Spanish-speaking homes have missed every day of school since Dec. 12."

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
