Ok in order to streamline the sporadic nature of everyone from #Palestine who follows me posting on various comments threads asking for signal boosts I am going to do this: once every few days I will make a thread and pin it to my page. All my Palestinian comrades who need assistance may reply. 🇵🇸

Alice Wong fought tirelessly against institutionalizing disabled people.
She understood that we deserve autonomy over our care.
That healthcare is a basic human right and people should receive the support they need to remain in their homes & communities.
Fight for universal healthcare now!

We also don't talk about how having at least one prior Covid infection is a risk factor for both long Covid and severe outcomes resulting from a future Covid infection.
And a Covid infection in the past 12 months increases a person's odds of dying from just about everything.

It’s really important to talk about long covid sufferers and also clinically vulnerable but often we now overlap
Increasingly because people with conditions like Cancer are now also being exposed to infections in hospital and struggling with long covid on top.

I find this pretty striking - we're not even offered the standard "here's why Mamdani's victory is actually trouble for the left" kind of gymnastics, the strategy really seems to be to hope no one notices
it is wild that Labour is doing exactly what the reactionary centrists recommend and is absolutely destroying its base of support as a result, and yet reactionary centrists in the US are just utterly silent about the complete failure of their program.

Thank You Alice Wong
Alice Wong has passed away and the disability community has lost a leader. I lost a mentor and a friend. The Disabled Ginger wouldn't exist without Alice and everything she taught me.

Americans really have no idea how badly things are going or much of what is actually happening outside of the increasingly sealed American unreality state. The increasingly clear collapse of collective sense making is breaking containment fully.
JD Vance's steady assertion of hostile claims against Greenland, which rarely ever rate a mention in US newspapers, are front page news across northern Europe.

If no one in your timeline is grieving the loss of Alice Wong today then you’re not hearing from enough disabled people or even people who listen to disabled people.
That’s a massive segment of society to which you will likely belong some day. Might want to turn an ear toward them sooner than later

None of it is easy. Absolutely none.
And none of the accommodations - a parking pass, WFH, having a note taker in school - none of them make being disabled easier than being abled, or even close to the same level.

I find myself increasingly wondering how able bodied people appear to believe that being disabled is"easy."
Getting accommodations in school, uni and/or work: easy, a breeze, even!
Getting a doctor to write you a certificate supporting your needs: EASY!
Working from home: EASY!

The culture of disposability around criminalized people set us up for this moment, and to fight fascism, we are going to have to rage against that culture of disposal. Submitting to it (or hiding behind it) is an egregious form of surrender.

Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.

Abolish gender. Abolish the family, abolish work and abolish sports.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

this is why i have called these movements "political" and not neutral. there's no "neutral use" of state violence. there's no "neutral" rule of law.
If the Biden administration had sent federal agents to do a law enforcement operation 10X milder in a white suburban neighborhood in order to apprehend a serial pedophile and violent domestic abuser who happened to be a white Christian pastor, the MAGA crew would have reduced the country to rubble.
NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:
- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

Democrats at every level of power could simply repeat "he must resign" over and over and over again. It's what the GOP would do if the situation were reversed. Further erode his power by pushing him to lash out more.
