Mass disablement is not an accident. It is manufactured. By war. By work. By poisoned air and water. By pandemics allowed to rage because prevention doesn’t make line go up. Capitalism needs broken bodies in that our political economy is built to factor in expected impairments.

correcting a previous QT as details become clearer &, yes, this provision *would* also block access to HRT, as a “transition procedure.”
that affects up to 152,000 trans people who have no access to healthcare outside of medicaid/chip—a number i expect will rise due to employment discrimination.

must-read thread!!
This classic shallow argument runs cover for real ways that the response to the Covid pandemic has been all out class warfare, and is the perfect example of lazy, superficial “class analysis” that ignores the basic material conditions which actually define class under capitalism.

A lot of the work of justice is routine, ordinary & sometimes mundane. Care work is one of the most radical liberatory pursuits. Feminized labor is the backbone of all liberation struggles.

Every fight for justice is an abolitionist one - the movement for reproductive justice, migrant justice, climate justice, food justice, gender justice, disability justice, mad justice & beyond. Abolishing a carceral world blooms a multitude of freedoms for all of us.

Holy crap. The DOJ is arguing that the President can unilaterally deport anyone he wants without ANY statutory authority, just on his inherent authority as President over national security.
That is a terrifying claim to make and not one that has ever been recognized before in US history.

So, for those of you not following, the 1952 code that gives the Secretary of State authority to deport anyone deemed a threat to national security, the one they're using against Mahmoud, was written in the heart of the McCarthy era, a way to target "communists" ie Eastern European Jews.

The ‘can machines do creative writing’ thing is mostly a distraction from the use of the machines to go through text and images to cancel grants and put people on deportation lists

not one moment’s peace for anyone involved
SCOOP: The US Dept. of Education and GOP Rep. Dan Crenshaw will each recognize "DeTrans Awareness Day" tomorrow with events featuring anti-trans activists.
In lieu of a press release, I’m told the Dept. event will be covered exclusively by a reporter from The Federalist.

This is not free-floating “uncertainty.” This is a robbery and we have CCTV footage and four hundred confessions of the thieves. Why be coy about the facts of what is happening?
