Last week Trump called Tim Walz the ‘R slur’.

He then doubled down on it, and now his base have begun harassing the entire Walz family.

Memes are circulating on socials encouraging people to drive past their house and yell it at them.

I’ve been personally called that word more than 1,000 times in the last seven days.

We can’t allow this to happen. The disability community has fought far too hard for far too long to remove that word from the public vernacular.

This is ableism at it’s most ugly, and ableism feeds eugenics and eugenics feeds fascism.

Help us fight back. We are not expendable.

Pro life my ass

--

A federal vaccine advisory committee voted on Friday to end the longstanding recommendation that all U.S. babies get the hepatitis B vaccine on the day they’re born.

For decades, the government has advised that all babies be vaccinated against the liver infection right after birth. The shots are widely considered to be a public health success for preventing thousands of illnesses. But U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s committee voted to recommend the birth dose only for babies whose mothers test positive or whose infection status is unknown.

Tech companies are crying that Americans aren't buying new phones fast enough to keep the economy stimulated. Wages have been stagnant for, what, 44 years and you've got the gall to keep raising prices and cry we're not buying enough?

I don't think you should reward this shit with a click but, in case you must, I've got a barely tweaked URL to save you the trouble I already spent looking up the article.

New people are joining Mastodon. Here is my #mastohelp:

1. Write a meaningful bio text — no one follows the unknown.

2. A profile photo of yourself is helpful — again, no one follows the unknown.

3. Start replying to other people's posts. Eventually you will get noticed.

4. If you get stuck, ask questions — people are really helpful here.

5. Follow at least 200, so you get an interesting feed.

6. Search hashtags of topics you like. If you like politics, try #eupol or #uspol.

Welcome! 🐘


BTW dunno if anyone said it: Once murder becomes the solution for anything, it's just a matter of time before it's the solution for everything.

The MAGA regime is using the fishing boat murders to set the scene.

More people have died in ICE custody in last 9 months than in the entire prior 4 years.

We hear of a few, but most barely make the news.

Cases like Randall Alberto Gamboa Esquivel.

He was in perfect health when ICE detained him.

He disappeared in June & by August was in a vegetative state.

ICE deported him anyways.

They literally put a man who was at death’s door on a plane to Costa Rica.

Doctors there found he had encephalopathy, rhabdomyolysis and the inability to eat on his own.

What happened to him in ICE custody to cause this?

He died a few weeks after deportation:

ICE enforcement may be a mass disabling event.

Disease is rampant in the camps.

Disabled people report having their medical needs ignored and their conditions drastically worsened.

The indiscriminate use of chemical weapons and violence causes harm.

Abolish ICE.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

“Apple is now treating federal agents—who are public employees exercising government power—as if they’re a vulnerable minority group in need of protection from ‘discrimination.’ This isn’t just a misapplication of content policies; it’s a fundamental inversion of what those policies were designed to do.”

Starvation as a tool for genocide was always part of the invaders acts to crush and exterminate resistance of the natives.

I personally believe that the age limit on being able to run for office should end at age 65, maybe 70 if pushing it, but nobody should be closer to 80, or 77 or whatever, closer to death at any point in those years and have political power. This isn't about #Republican or #Democrat, this is about people being able to live long enough to see how there laws affect other people who are younger, and people who are in there 80's who could die if the wind blows the wrong way shouldn't be allowed to hold power. If you can't stay for dinner, you shouldn't be invited to the table. #USPol


Chat Control is one of the most important issue for human rights and democracy in the West right now.

There is little time left to fight back!🚨

❓If you don't know what it is: read this article

🇪🇺 If you are in the EU: Contact your MEPs NOW

🇪🇺 If you already contacted your MEPs: Contact your local media TODAY to ask them to report and inform on the dangers of Chat Control.

🌎 If you are not European: Spread the word! Talk about it on social media. Contact your local media. Contact your representatives to share your concerns about similar proposals and the loss of privacy rights. This would affect you too!

This is an urgent matter. We cannot let the West slip in this authoritarian dystopia.
We must stop Chat Control ✊🛑

For residents of the U.S., health insurance open enrollment is beginning.

Good time for a reminder that, if you have the option of enrolling in a high deductible health plan, those policies come with Health Savings Accounts (HSA).

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-ded…
"HSA contributions, unlike other tax-advantaged investment vehicles, offer a triple tax benefit – tax-deductible contributions, tax-free growth, and tax-free withdrawals for qualified medical expenses."

How's all that self-interest working out for all the tech companies? Dictators are gonna dictate. It's not like he didn't tell you who he was. Project 2025 was the real goal. They don't want anyone but white people to have the privilege of getting jobs. Everything else is nothing but excess.

Is anyone making a list of companies that have fired people for quoting Charlie Kirk’s views?

Seems like a list of companies that support fascism and free speech only when it’s in support of fascism should be well known to all.

I know it’s just a social media post, but I stand with my colleagues and the students at America’s HBCUs.

It’s a short hop from radical anti-intellectualism to outright racism, and we’ve experienced these headwinds before.

But the work to build America’s pluralist democracy will not be halted by this kind of cowardice.

We should live in a world where selling out to corporate money or being completely spineless and ineffective in office is what threatens re-election.

From the Disability Visibility Project:

"Immigrant Rights Are Disability Rights"

disabilityvisibilityproject.co…

"… a true commitment to justice for disabled people must recognize that many undocumented immigrants are themselves disabled and deserving of basic rights, not total erasure from the disability rights discourse."

You no longer have to wonder whether some of the masked men with guns in unmarked cars taking people off the streets might not be real law enforcement officers. We now know that 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁.

That includes a guy in NC who sexually assaulting a woman by threatening to deport her.

Sen. Padilla's speech on being forced to the ground & handcuffed after asking a question:

youtube.com/watch?v=G-mKheWHHD…

"… we've seen masked federal agentsn in tactical gear, ordered into our communities. We've seen a disturbing pattern of increasingly extreme and cruel immigration enforcement operations targeting nonviolent people, at places of worship, at schools,
in courthouses, all to meet an arbitrary quota."

We need urgent community action to stop this incredibly ableist plan from moving forward.

The DOE has ruled that new federal buildings don’t have to meet accessibility standards.

That will mean many disabled people won’t be able to work in or access these places.

They’re literally excluding us from as many facets of life as possible, because they have a eugenics plan.

Call, email, speak out!

Accessibility is not a “nice to have”. It’s a legal right. It’s necessary for our survival.
