People who don’t include disability liberation in their understanding of social justice will never make sense to me.
Like what do you MEAN you oppose sexism, racism, and classism, but the minute the lived reality of that oppression starts showing up physically, all your energy just evaporates?

Don’t lose hope. Remember, Watergate took over two years to fully unravel from the initial break-in to Nixon’s resignation. Just like then and now, Americans are losing faith in their government. We are documenting every illegal action and will hold this administration and Elon Musk accountable.

Polite request to the people telling others not to use grocery delivery apps or Amazon : please start wearing masks when you go out. Some of us could get really sick and die.

A society which values profits over people — which sees mass disablement and death as acceptable as long as brunch and concerts remain — will significantly impact how we approach boundaries and consent.

This is me... I've gotten every vaccine / booster, I mask when away from home, even outdoors. I'm immunocompromised due to the meds I take for MS.
I haven't gotten COVID yet, due to my precautions & luck (I had to fly to TX last year when my dad was in the hospital & no one masked on the plane).

Yea, let's not provide no-cost preventative care so the system can be crushed under the weight of late-stage, expensive interventions.

The Supreme Court said Friday it will review the constitutionality of a provision of the Affordable Care Act that requires health plans to provide no-cost preventive care, including cancer screenings, immunizations and contraception, to millions of Americans.
Supreme Court to hear case challenging Obamacare’s preventive coverage
At issue is a provision requiring health-care plans to cover no-cost preventive care, including cancer screenings, immunizations and contraception. A Christian-owned business has challenged it.

When they talk about privatizing Veterans’ care and Medicare, they mean allowing companies to provide healthcare for a profit.
But how do companies make those profits? By *denying* care to many who need it.
Don’t get fooled by the “privatization” label. It means “for profit” and YOU are the cost.
