“You’re already sick, what are you afraid of?”

This question is used to get disabled people to take unnecessary risks.

We’re afraid of losing our baseline.

It means everything to us. We are afraid of losing what small amount of function we have left.

No one protects your baseline like you will.

The level of denial it takes to continue to take unnecessary risks while being sick all the time astounds me.

Especially when they have a disabled person in their lives who offers them respirators. Tells them about clean air. Tries to help them “live their lives” safely.

Charities have always been woefully insufficient for ALL welfare programs. Anyone who tries to use them to justify destroying govt funding is really just using it as a way to not feel bad for being pro death

When people discuss it with him though, I think they should be aware that that was his intention.

I can't help but remember Grimes saying "There's going to be a population collapse, soon."
Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

SCOTUS just gave the Trump admin the green light to deport 500,000 immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua & Venezuela.

These people entered LEGALLY under Biden’s humanitarian parole.

This isn’t about “illegal immigration”— in Trump’s own words, this is about ethnic cleansing.

Supreme Court allows Trump administration to cancel legal status for half-million immigrants
The administration can now cancel a Biden-era humanitarian program that allowed immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela to live and work in the U.S. legally.

I know it’s frustrating when people say “covid’s back” when we know it never left.

I know it’s frustrating when they only pay attention now because it has a scary new name.

But it’s also a window of opportunity. It’s a chance to educate people on how to protect themselves and their communities

SCOOP: The State Department's new reorganization plan includes the opening of an "Office for Remigration," a term popularized by far right extremists and neo-Nazis in Europe. The office will coordinate directly with DHS "to advance the President’s immigration agenda."

My report:
State Department set to launch ‘Office of Remigration’
The concept of remigration has explicitly neo-Nazi roots and has been popularized in Europe.

The latest Covid variant (razor blade throat) seems to have increased transmissibility resulting in more people ending up in hospital.

Most healthcare systems haven’t adopted clean air standards or mandatory respirator use.

“Only sick kids die from covid/measles”

“Only the vulnerable need to worry”

“Just stay home”

“Your health is not my responsibility”

“How many comorbids did they have?”

These statements feed directly into fascism & eugenics.

Don’t make it easier for them to eliminate us. We aren’t expendable.

“Just leave the country/state” is not an option for most disabled people.

Relocating takes a significant amount of time, money, resources and health that many of us do not have.

Many countries won’t accept those who are disabled and/or poor.

Leaving is a privilege. Fight for those who can’t flee

You don’t need your uterus to survive, and yet most doctors will force people to keep it even when it’s diseased and/or risking their lives.

A hypothetical future husband and baby are more important than current and future quality of life.

That’s medical misogyny.

Of course they want a caste system. They want child labor and no upward mobility. They'd bring back debtors prison, and slavery, if they could as well.

The erasing continues.

Erase them and disappear them.

They're definitely coming after women's rights -- voting, right to work, right to own a biz, right to have a checking account, right to body autonomy, you name it.

They're telegraphing the whole play with these moves.

DOGE should not be given access to anything, they have proven to give that access immediately to malign foreign actors
