Weird how not a single one of the newspapers and magazines that have been breathlessly churning out "cancel culture" thinkpieces for the past four years have managed to use the word "censorship" at all to describe the most rapid and comprehensive campaign of mass-censorship in recent US history.

If you want to control the price of eggs, you need to control bird flu.

And the worst thing you can do if you want to control bird flu is censor scientists and scrub CDC data.

elon musk and his gaggle of wannabe dictator, 20 something year old white men, and a token thrown in there are effectively touching trillions of dollars and all of our sensitive data and no one seemingly can stop them. talk about checks and balances. 🙃

Well the award for most cowardly, boot-lickingest academic society has squarely gone to the American Society of Microbiology, who has taken down features of various non-white scientists. Absolutely pathetic behavior. Those articles are now coming up as “under review”. Truly sickening cowardice here.

Essentially it’s fruit of the same tree. They’re still using ableism and applying it to trans people. Anyone who defies “normalcy” is considered disabled by their society whether they have a disability or not.
hi Imani! do you have an explanation for why trans people have become *the* scapegoat for this administration rather than e.g. disabled people? (since eugenics/fascism rise during a pandemic, I thought more backlash would be against disabled people/those who the RW think "make the nation weak")

anyone know what they’re planning to do with all the fed funding they’ve taken from these departments/ programs? genuine question.

I think a lot of people have mutual aid confused with charity on here, maybe because folks most often see it in the context of fundraiser asks (which are great!).

I want to talk a little about what it looks like in everyday life.

Because we need it more than ever. Government is getting shredded.

people keep tagging me in fuck around and find out content like I haven’t been talking about how pandemics lead to fascism since 2020.

The “find out” portion isn’t just for everyone who doesn’t consider themself a liberal—it’s for them too.

Haven’t masked in 4 years? FAAFO.

They really banned TikTok before they banned sending weapons to Israel during a genocide.

Ok but the doctors and nurses not wearing masks is so real. I’m multiply disabled & trans, I have about 9 diff drs (just added a new 1 today!). Not one person in any of the offices I visit wears a mask. My psych dr asks if I want her to sometimes when she sees my mask, but I mostly see her remotely

Since the election, masks flew off for overt racists.

But I have also noticed an uptick in emboldened behavior from even people who consider themselves “white allies.

The ones that consider themselves “good white people,” blue bracelet-ers, “not all white people-ers,” and progressive whites.
