Still doing the same work that I have been this whole time. They can threaten and call us names and vote for our deaths and pray for us to change all they want, but here we are, still as queer as God made us.

What would Jesus say about transferring wealth to the rich? No speculation needed. "Woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation. Woe to you who are full now, for you will be hungry. Woe to you who are laughing now, for you will mourn and weep" (Lk. 6: 24-26).

There are no distractions. It's all bad. Systematically stripping trans people of their rights, guys in balaclavas shoving any brown person with a tattoo into a ummarked vans, ending healthcare for millions. It's all in service of fascism and technofeudalism. It's all one thing. That's the point.

RFK Jr talking about the need for doctors to know how to treat measles for those who are unvaccinated.
“Only very sick kids should die from measles.”
No. They shouldn’t. That was the point of the vaccine. We eradicated the virus so children didn’t die.
Sick & disabled kids are not expendable!

No one is immune from becoming disabled.
Let me repeat that: No one. Is immune. From becoming. Disabled.
Let me repeat that: No one. Is immune. From becoming. Disabled.
There are four main stages of disability denial:
“I won’t ever become disabled because I’m healthy”
“If I do become disabled I will be the exception who gets cured”
“If medicine can’t cure me I will cure myself, I will try harder”
“Those disabled people just don’t want to get better”
