After the Secretary was asked
about the measles deaths
in Pennsylvania
a staffer quickly stated
“We’re not going to talk
about that,”
and while this obviously
isn’t much of an answer,
it is an accurate description
of how this society
talks about contagious threats.

some say the MCU isn’t realistic but what about in Black Panther when Killmonger wanted the richest, most advanced country in the world to aid and empower oppressed people worldwide and T’Challa honored his wishes by building one (1) youth center in Oakland

#OneOfTheTwo that @jonstewart was shitting on for masking at work.
You know you’re on the wrong side of history when you’re making fun of a marginalized group, going against hundreds of thousands of studies, and your own health depts recommendations about wearing masks.
It was inspiring to attend a #MasksRequired Disability Justice panel at Netroots Nation this weekend. @SFdirewolf moderated a discussion with @MattMcGorry, @the_tattooedjew, and Dr. Sami Schalk.
A key theme that resonated was the challenge of promoting COVID awareness and disability justice among progressive and academic organizations hostile or dismissive toward these topics.
Since masks were required and young activists were encouraged, I got to bring my 7 year old for his first conference talk.

#oneofthetwo maskers @jonstewart was mocking.
Me living my best life while protecting myself and my 2 elderly parents.
U really should apologize for acting like a 13 yr old in the lunch room mocking the science geeks and library nerds. Lots of us were those kids, and we're right.

I cannot stop designing extremely powerful and moving t-shirt designs this is as much a gift as it is a curse

This is why you all badly need to learn disability history, our modern definition of disability is about an ability to work.
The Industrial Revolution is what changed that perception.
You all need to read Capitalism and Disability and A Disability History of the U.S.

There is also a battle to be fought within the anti-fascist coalition between people who want more equality, freedom, health, housing, connection, ecological sustainability, etc. and people who are largely okay with how the world looks.

This "large scale social deception" contract was:
* first awarded under Trump
* paid to Reuters' data division, not the newsroom
* for researching *defenses* against deception
* not revealed by "DOGE investigations"; was a public record, visible online for many years

You're not gonna die. Because tomorrow you will be alive. And you will make a pledge to get stronger every day. And you will keep that pledge. You will bleed through honor and discipline. And you will become so strong that they may never threaten you. You are going to do this.
