I wrote about @NPR 's decision to frame disabled people's ongoing exclusion from all public spaces as an annoyance to be navigated by individuals, rather than a massive civil rights violation to be challenged by the collective.

- Any serious climate policy would ban private jets day one
- Yall see how ableism intersects with fascism? How vulnerabilities become dangerous in the hands of communities that hate vulnerable ppl? If you’re someone who mocks masking when immunocompromised ppl ask you to mask, do you recognize yourself here?
- Don’t forget “everywhere is understaffed,” “millions of ppl are disabled”, “every flight is delayed,” “every hospital is overwhelmed,” “every kid is continually sick,” “proliferating brain fog is causing accidents”, “younger ppl are dropping dead of heart attacks”….
- Truly one of the most bizarre cases of collective denial to witnessLike a big join-the-dots puzzle, and people can’t find a pencil.
- Right now we’re in it but if you were to look back at this era w the benefit of a century it would be CLEAR that the pandemic, just like in 1918, accelerated fascism as it brought eugenicist ideas into the mainstream
- Al Roker almost died when his last COVID infection brought on blood clots this past fall. Now his employer exposed him again, mere months later. Again, this is a worker’s rights issue. If NBC can kill Al Roker on live TV w zero repercussion, your employer can too
- Now the good doctor is making ppl think before they speak??? …On the internet??? She rly did something here
- Babies under 6 months have the second highest hospitalization rate after the elderly in recent COVID waves btwRFK Jr. lies and says children younger than 6 aren't at risk for COVID.
- You mean….contact tracing….one of the many MANY disease mitigation tools the Biden administration completely destroyed in order to further its delusional claim that the pandemic ended….?Replying to @MaryLTrumpWe should have a text chain #DNCCovid
- I’m working with experts at my job now and the wildest thing about the COVID research coming out is there’s not even a debate that of course it’s damaging to get this disease. It’s not like some ppl are finding “yeah ppl should be totally fine after getting it ten times”
- This is so true, whenever someone dies we automatically suspend all the constitutional rights of everyone else in America , for fairness“For all the concerns about the First Amendment, the First Amendment… what about all the amendments Charlie Kirk lost, because Charlie Kirk has no amendments right now.” - @kayleighmcenany
00:00 - Yall are sick from getting viruses. Diseases. The thing that makes you sick. Remember germ theory of disease? Germs make you sick? Not vaccines. Getting tired of explaining it in big 2025. Wear a mask if you hate it so much, otherwise get used to it bc you’re ignoring a pandemic.You can feel the density of collective regret of taking the C-19 vaccine, as people are sicker more than ever in the past few weeks.
- The system rewards ppl who can’t think critically. Cause if you have the intelligence to say “hey wait isn’t it bad to cook the planet and leave it to my kids in worse shape” you don’t end up being an executive for an oil company lolIf they’re so smart why are they failing
