I don’t care who you are, the one thing that links all of the -isms and bigotries together and sets them on fire is eugenics and ableism.
They’ve been playing you all the entire time. There is no progress in this country for ANYTHING without equity for disabled people.

It astonishes me how parents are perfectly able to understand "the kid brought something home from school and now we're all sick" except for COVID for some reason
Exactly, the entire argument for this narrative is that kids rarely die of COVID. That’s true, but it wasn’t the justification for the policy. Teachers *do* die of COVID and kids *do* spread COVID.
Some studies find school closures were the most effective intervention for preventing cases!

On COVID contrarians by @gregggonsalves.bsky.social: "they have helped to make public health & biomedicine into a scapegoat for a nation’s trauma. Instead of focusing on the effects of a virus, we’ve found something more human to blame—the scientists & public health officials who got it all wrong.'"
The pandemic helped lift the fortunes of the new, new right—but not in the way you might think, writes @gregggonsalves.bsky.social.
Covid Contrarianism Has Crossed the Aisle
The Great Barrington Declaration, criticized by scientists and libertarians in 2020, is now a playbook for those on the right and the left.

The thing that stands out here is so many Dems run campaigns terrified of (and thus buying into) the Fox News framing.
Mamdani is rightly mocking that framing as ridiculous and it resonates. He's not running scared. He's running proud of who he is and what he stands for.

“Autist” is emerging as an a eugenicist dogwhistle. The new aspie supremacy—but whiter, wealthier, and making a virtue out of the putative incapacity for empathy.
Not a disability, of course. Not in solidarity with anyone who needs or deserves solidarity.
Keep an eye on it.

And then this shit just came out.
When you’re making over $700k a year, gaining $12k is nothing. It’s a nice vacation, redoing the garage, giving a niece/nephew a car.
When you’re making $23k a year, losing $1600 is “are we paying for food or for the house or for medical bills” territory.

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

The weird sang-froid with which @NPR states this is a problem. This is as if RFK Jr. was talking about little green men on Mars. "Ancient miasma theory" isn't another viewpoint my dear NPR editors. It's the sun-revolves-around-the-earth stuff. What are you doing?
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. apparently embraces the outdated "miasma theory" of disease instead of the widely accept "germ theory" of disease, which may help explain some of the actions he's been taking.

I've seen folks talk about how "in four years" they'll be able to get back to their planned projects and I really don't think that's going to work out. People & projects losing funding now will not be able to hit pause and come back once funding is restored. Hard-won progress & capacity will be lost
I worry that not enough of a big deal is being made about how long-term the devastation of these budget cuts to our scientific and health agencies will be, beyond the absolute ruin they will cause in the acute period.

Saw an uncredited post on fb that got eaten by a refresh saying that JK shouldn't be categorized as simply a problematic artist. That she's more like Musk: a radicalized person with extreme wealth using said wealth to influence the government to target and harm a marginalized group. Helpful framing.

There are many people who really believe that not everyone should attend school. And, there's a smaller group that feels very strongly that students have a right to learn & should be supported, and assume more people share this belief. 🧵

now you're all going to hear one of my annoyances: when adults say to other adults "look for the helpers." My dude, you ARE the helper. Kids look for the helpers, which should be you, a grown person.
If watching library workers resist leads you to expect us to save you, you're taking away the wrong message.
You should be viewing this as a clear indicator that YOU can and should stand up and push back, too.
We need help, not acclaim.
