The solution to homelessness is not forced institutionalizations.
It’s social supports. Healthcare. Housing. Education. Harm reduction. A universal basic income.
Anyone can become homeless at any time. It’s not a personal failing.
We must fix it together.
Disabled people have been warning of forced institutionalization for years.
They want to lock away anyone they see as “less than”.
Homeless people are just the first targets.
We need affordable housing, healthcare & a basic income.
Help people meet their basic needs & homelessness goes down

Homeless people are not the enemy.
They can’t “just try harder” their way into housing.
It’s the system that’s failing.
Most of us are one emergency away from being homeless ourselves.
We need affordable housing, universal basic income, healthcare & social supports.
We need a safety net

They are truly making up falsehoods out of thin air because they hate autistic people existing.

11.10.2025 03:29 — 👍 227 🔁 67 💬 6 📌 1It's extremely obvious to me that neurodivergence is why we are able to function as societies at all. And I mean that beyond things like exceptional thinking or hyper fixations leading to breakthroughs. I mean just in the fact that when we care for one another we thrive.

That's the definition of fascism from Robert Paxton, one of the preeminent historians of the subject, from his book ANATOMY OF FASCISM which came out more than two decades ago.

The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries.
He said this out loud.
US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better."
Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better.
Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand.
We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.
As always, whenever liars talk about "free speech", the only question you ever have to ask is, "What are y'all doing about sex workers and dissidents?"
29.09.2025 18:43 — 👍 143 🔁 35 💬 3 📌 0This is exactly right. It's happening about the internet itself, too. People are assigning false rose-colored nostalgia memories to the web, describing a "good old days" that elides how terrible and exclusionary the past eras of the internet were.

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality.
I don't know how to yell any louder.
This isn’t just explicit antisemitism (which it is), it’s a continuation of the Christian nationalist cooption of Jewish history, ritual & trauma for their own supersessionist purposes—
Jews don’t count / aren’t real, we’re the real victims, let’s blow a shofar, etc. and of course:

It’s an uphill struggle getting people to accept that Christians can be bad people.
But the even harder truth that people urgently need to grasp in this time of Christofascism is that for some understandings of Christianity, to be a GOOD Christian is to be a BAD person.
