The deceptive phrase behind Trump's Medicaid purge How the idea of “able-bodied” is abused

There is a lot I can say about this situation--which is just horrifying and unethical on many levels--but I would prefer to first to direct people to this tiktok by @imanibarbarin.bsky.social on the eugenics, sexism and racism underscoring this

C. Jeffery Evans @cjevans.bsky.social Your civil rights is an issue. Denying that isn't rational. The christofascist right has spent fifty years dumbing down the population so that science can't be used to defeat prejudice.

Yall real silent about disability injustices because most of you don’t see disability as a thing that can happen to you.

We are “aww those poor people”. Meanwhile disability can happen to anyone at any moment and those injustices you ignored? They become your experiences too

Really? When Americans are fascists they're Asians?
