Çocuk (ruh) sağlığını da, beslenmesini de korkuyla güdülenen kâr kapısına çeviren; çocuk korumayı yasakla çözen; halkın şiddet/iktidarın suç geliri sorununu "suça itilen çocuk yoktur;öldürün,bunlar doğuştan kötü"ye indirgeyen ülke ekosisteminin ürettiği ve kolladığı şiddete bak.

Disabled people tried to warn you.

We said that the rising eugenicist sentiment that accelerated during the “back to normal” phase of Covid would eventually hurt everyone

The new healthcare plan for America appears to be:

Don’t get sick

If you do get sick, it’s your fault

If you can’t pay, die

In an ableist and stigmatizing world, people force us to legitimize and prove our needs,biological and pschological limitations,strenghts and capabilities
that we have desires and dreams, but also that we are in pain etc
Eventually one realizes there is no limit for their demands.
Unmasking is hard

This is exactly why disability activists keep speaking about about medically assisted death.

The “safeguards” have come off.

Coercion is baked into the system, and in some cases, family members are making the request.

A patient’s life ended without them asking for it.
Dementia patient gets MAID after family member brought forward the request
The MAID provider deemed the woman had given final consent, based on her ability to repeat a question and squeeze the provider's hand.

I refuse to be told by a guy who has suggested all neurodivergent Individuals should be institutionalised, and another whose brain was eaten by a worm, that my being autistic is the problem, or a crisis. Autistic individuals aren't the problem, the way we are treated and minimised damn sure is.

If you try to force your autistic child to take a quack cure so they stop being autistic, then don't be surprised when they spend the rest of their life relating to you as a person who only loves them conditionally.

Autism doesn’t stop at 18. There are plenty of autistic adults that often get left behind during media coverage because the focus is often on moms of autistic children. It’s another way to erase autistic people’s personhood.

He’s been denied his new prosthetic legs and is now in solitary confinement.

His “crime”? A burglary when he was a teen for which he received a full pardon. 🧵

“Where have we heard that before? Nazi Germany. They went after disabled people..called them ‘useless eaters’..tested the gas chambers on them. Discarded them because they weren’t economically active, they weren’t strong and fit, and they didn’t want them to reproduce and contaminate the gene pool.”
“He put the blame on the women. He insinuated that if they ‘really’ cared about the health of their unborn child, they would be willing to endure any amount of fever, pain and suffering rather than take a safe and effective drug.

That’s why I say this is eugenics.”

And people with profound disabilities like my son will be left to the curb without Medicaid. Republicans are heartless. Wanting to blame some weakness of character on the disability; that one needs to be punished. He demonstrates more courage in one day than any Republican in their career.
