Hey all of these things are examples of a eugenics playbook in action:
1. Normalizing epidemic diseases
2. Removing proven drug therapies from market
3. Claiming disabled people can "work out" to restore health
4. Institutionalizing ppl in "health" camps 1/3

Never forget that the nazis started with disabled people.

They tested their extermination plan on us…. Because by and large no one cares what happens to disabled people.

When we tell you that leaving us by the wayside is dangerous, we really mean it.

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

Farm workers were provided with FREE PPE months ago in an effort to prevent spread from animals to humans - the majority refused to use it.

After all - we can’t “live in fear”.

Anti mask rhetoric combined with public health failures is once again costing lives /5

[Han 🖤 CHECK PINNED! @spoonfulofhan]

Disabled and chronically ill people are allowed to enjoy things and do things they like (if they’re able) while still being sick and disabled. Yes, even if they aren’t employed. Hope this helps.

1/ Women in the U.S., I need you to gently set aside your grief for a second and look at me. It's time to operate from a place of planning.

-If you are married and not the breadwinner, depend on your husband for insurance, it's time to start planning.

[Julia Marie @julia_doubleday]

Acting suspicious bc ppl want drugs at the doctor is so annoying to me. Like yes this is where you are sposd to get them. I also seek dental care at the dentist. I seek my Doritos at the grocery store. This is the PROPER PROTOCOL DA FUCK

A lot of you are disabled and you don't know it because society has brainwashed you with ableism.

[Briana Mills, LMFT ♿️🏳️‍🌈🍉 @theBrianaMills]

People vehemently believe that there are safety nets in place if you become disabled. That no matter what, you have all of your needs met. If you believe this, you’re in for a rude awakening if you ever become disabled.

[@[email protected] @Imani_Barbarin]

This is why, even when disabled people can’t tolerate the politician you’re talking about, all your rhetoric boils down to demeaning disabled people because it’s the fastest way to discredit who you please.

[Alice Wong 王美華 @SFdirewolf]

We’re supposed to be at home because we’re too disabled to do anything

If we dared go outside to protest or *gasp* work, then maybe we’re exaggerating & faking our disabilities/high risk status opening us up for scrutiny & surveillance

Ableism & fascism go hand in hand

I am honored to have been asked to be a part of this amazing and in-depth 2 part story on the shuttering of RVAP and the lies the University of Iowa has told surrounding its closure. Part 2 will be out tomorrow.

[Zachary Oren Smith @ZacharyOS]

INSIDE RVAP'S ABRUPT CLOSURE - University of Iowa is closing its rape crisis center which supports 8 counties. Through records and tons of interviews with RVAP's clients, workers and partners, I've got an exclusive look into how we got here. 1/5 https://t.co/HQ0NsAW89Z

[Laura Tull @LauraTheUndying]

The University of Iowa has been flat out lying to everyone about services being transferred to DVIP with "no service interruptions." Interesting how their story keeps changing.

[Zachary Oren Smith @ZacharyOS]

HELP WANTED - The future of sexual assault support services is unclear in southeastern Iowa.

This morning, the Iowa AG announced that more than $400,000 in federal and state funding are up for grabs. Money that used to fund the Rape Victim Advocacy Program.

[Gabrielle Peters 👩🏻‍🦽 @mssinenomine]

I hate everyone who failed this man. I hate the people making excuses. I hate every single policy maker in the history of this country that caused this. I hate that ableism teaches *us* that we're the burden not the godawful system that leads to this.

@SorchaEirinn Argh, I'm so sorry. Denying the abuse is abusive in itself. The fixation on physical violence goes against what many survivors have shared, which is that coercion/control/manipulation and then having the abuse be denied are worse to experience than the physical violence.

[Kat Tenbarge is on Bluesky @kattenbarge]

A lot of women and girls simply do not know their past or current relationships are or were abusive because the general public is so misinformed about what abuse is. I regularly hear and read words like “toxic” to describe what is actually abusive.

[Emily Johnson (is on Mastadon and Bsky) @emily_rj]

ICYDK current DoorDash discourse was explicitly made to mock a disabled person severe histamine intolerance via MCAS (which 1 in 6 people had pre-Covid, so a common chronic illness) so they can’t eat leftovers, because other disabilities prevent them from cooking every day

[senya♡⁷ 🦢🩰 @_theblackbride]

do you know how big of a step forward this is. it means we’re being listened to. keep talking about palestine. DON’T STOP!

[Immuno(un)compromising Writer @jacobscheier]

The dunking on disabled ppl for using Door Dash is a proxy eugenics discourse. It's hard not to engage it, but maybe helpful to remember the debate isn't really about what ableist-leftist are claiming it is (even if they are not entirely conscious of it themselves).

[A. H. @a_h_reaume]

I don’t care about colonial royal families but the real story about the ‘missing princess’ is probably some extremely personal and private medical issue and as a disability activist I think spinning elaborate narratives of affairs and divorce is wild and inappropriate.
