Day 3 of reminding us that when RFK proposed a registry of children with autism, we lost our collective minds.
However, when Noem launched an app to register immigrants and propaganda campaign to stoke hatred, radio silence.
Both deserve our rage, yet only one has gotten it.

This is true, portraying only vulnerable as being at risk from COVID meant folks thought it’s not going to impact my life, so they didn’t have to spend on protecting everyone.

Disabled people have been pleading with folks to show solidarity for years.
We saw the rising tide of eugenics the moment everyone declared Covid over & decided to leave us by the wayside.
Pandemics give rise to fascism. What we’re seeing is the result of allowing disabled folks to be left behind
