The “covid is only a threat to the vulnerable” narrative primed the pump for the eugenics movement we’re seeing now.
It conditioned people to see the disabled & vulnerable as acceptable losses. People who were probably going to “die anyways”.
It paved the way for fascism.

I firmly believe that this--anti-mask/free-floating ableism re COVID--is one of the reasons why people became cruel, disaffected and disarticulated enough from any sense of the collective good, disarticulated enough to happily usher in technofascism.
Cool how the net result of COVID-19 wasn't preventing deaths or changing society for the better or anything it was just letting all of you normal people indulge in your complete sociopathy toward the disabled freely and without restraint
Got into a fight with a NURSE who we asked to give us a little distance when we were at a picnic table eating. We told her we’re were trying to be Covid safe because I’m at risk. She said I should have just stayed home. I said at risk people should be socially isolated and lonely AND SHE SAID YES

Sí se puede and fuck right off, Border Patrol!
Sí se puede and fuck right off, Border Patrol!
![Plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction (Doc. 15) is GRANTED, as follows:
a.
Border Patrol is enjoined from conducting detentive stops in this District unless,
pre-stop, the detaining agent has reasonable suspicion that the person to be stopped is a
noncitizen who is present within the United States in violation of U.S. immigration law, as required by the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution. b.
Border Patrol is enjoined from effecting warrantless arrests in this District unless, pre-arrest, the arresting agent has probable cause to believe that the noncitizen being arrested is likely to escape before a warrant can be obtained, as required by 8
U.S.C. § 1357(a)(2).
C.
Any Border Patrol agent who conducts a detentive stop in this District SHALL,
as soon as practicable, document the facts and circumstances surrounding the stop in a
86
narrative form. This documentation SHALL include the specific, particularized facts that supported the agent's reasonable suspicion, which was formed in advance of the stop, that: (i) for vehicle stops, the vehicle contained a noncitizen present within the United States in violation of U.S. immigration law; and ii) for stops on foot, the person
stopped was a noncitizen within the United States in violation of U.S. immigration law.
The documentation SHALL include the date and time that the agent completed the
detentive stop and the date and time the agent completed the documentation.
d.
Any Border Patrol agent who conducts a warrantless arrest in this District
SHALL comply with all requirements set forth in DHS's "Broadcast Statement of Policy" on compliance with 8 U.S.C. § 1357(a)(2), including but not limited to the requirement that as soon as practicable after an arrest, agents SHALL document in writing "the facts and circumstances surrounding the warrantless arrest" and the

there really is no alternative to tearing up CBP and ICE root and branch
A US citizen with a learning disability who has just suffered a medical emergency asks a CBP officer for directions outside the emergency room. He ends up detained in an icebox for ten days and has the assistant secretary of DHS lying about him to the public at large. popular.info/p/us-citizen...
![In an interview with Popular Information, his first with any media outlet, Hermosillo said DHS'.
's account was false.
According to Hermosillo, he was visiting his girlfriend's family in Tucson from his home in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Several hours before his arrest, Hermosillo was transported to a hospital in Tucson by ambulance after suffering from a seizure. He has a New Mexico state ID, but did not take it with him during the medical emergency.
After being released from the hospital following treatment, Hermosillo did not know how to return to where he was staying.
He approached the Border Patrol officer because he was looking for someone to help him. "I saw a car, and I askled] him for help," Hermosillo said. He told the officer that he was staying in Tucson.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:on5oeywiqx32fh2zau473wz6/bafkreie3gc6fndj7mtotijddm4eg264zgsqxpn4nbekb3xq5ubdmskvr6u@jpeg)
!["You"
re not from here. Do you have your
papers?" the officer said, according to Hermosillo. When the officer asked where he was from, Hermosillo said he told the officer,
"New Mexico." The officer then accused Hermosillo of lying. "Don't make me lout] like [I'm] stupid," the officer said. "I know you're from Mexico." After that, Hermosillo said, he was arrested.
Hermosillo said that he never told the officer that he was born in Mexico, was a citizen of Mexico, or entered the country illegally. And he would not have said those things because they are not true. He signed the transcript released by DHS because the officer ordered him to "sign everything." But Hermosillo did not read it, because he cannot read.
According to Hermosillo's girlfriend, Grace Hernandez, Hermosillo has learning disabilities and can only write his name.
Hermosillo said he did not graduate from high school and dropped out after the 10th grade.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:on5oeywiqx32fh2zau473wz6/bafkreiensu64iobo4ftuqeaighf2p5k745uzdnmhcecugsi4ec74dnqse4@jpeg)

a mask is the thing you’re looking for. it is the visible reminder of how things have changed, that you acknowledge we are not coveted “normal” times—but unlike donation-earned tote bags or symbolic beaded bracelets, the mask is community care in both form & immediate function.

And y’all taking your masks off are complicit— You are letting them, you are hand in hand in that push toward forgetting by pretending there is no ongoing risk to yourselves or others. You, your loved ones, get repeatedly infected, brush off ongoing symptoms in pursuit of a 2019 normal long gone.
Of course, it’s rooted in the fact that the pandemic demonstrated perfectly and plainly that the conservative project of markets first, disempowered labor, and shrinking government was not suited to 21st Century problems.
COVID relief programs proved government can work.
