alt-text: an image of "Congressional Bills 115th Congress" (https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/BILLS-115hres933ih/html/BILLS-115hres933ih.htm) It is highlighted starting with "the war on drugs was admitted to be a move by the nixon administration" the whole text is: Whereas, on June 18, 1971, President Richard Nixon declared the War on Drugs, stating that drug abuse is public enemy number one''; Whereas the Federal Government's attitude toward drug use as a criminal problem only intensified with stricter drug laws, and the Government put little to no focus on treating those impacted; Whereas the War on Drugs was admitted to be a move by the Nixon administration to attack his political opponents, and in 1994, President Richard Nixon's aide John Ehrlichman admitted in an interview that the War on Drugs was a tool to arrest and manipulate Blacks and liberals stating,We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.'';

The US government has literally admitted that the war on drugs was a farce to arrest black people. Most liberals still believe in it.

A tweet of the text "Transmisogyny is the fact that I'd be arrested for showing "female" breasts in public, but then put into a men's prison because I'm "not a woman". Trans women are only considered women when it justifies more harm. We are never considered women when it would protect us from harm."

A grey poster with a dove on one side of a scale and a chain on the other and a large scared hand casting a large looming shadow and reaching for the dove. The poster reads "Paradox of tolerance: if we tolerate intolerance, tolerance itself will be destroyed. To protect a tolerant society we must be intolerant of intolerance." There is also the text "the cruel hand of intolerance" between the parts of the scale.

A large part of accessibility is destroying inaccessibility. We do not just have inaccessibility because of a lack of accessibility tools, we also have it because of an overwhelming amount of gatekeeping

A picture of an old issue of the New York times with the headline "syphilis victims in U.S. study went untreated for 40 years" the article continues "Washington July 25-- for 40 years the United States public health service has conducted a study in which human beings who were induced to serve as guinea pigs have gone without medical treatment for the disease and a few have died of it's late effects, even though an effective therapy was eventually discovered. The study was conducted to determine from autopsies what the disease does to the human body. Officials of the health service who initiated the experiment have long since retired. Current officials, who say they have serious doubts about the morality of the study, also say that it is too late to treat the syphilis in any surviving participants. Doctors in the service say they are now rendering whatever other medical services they can give to the survivors while the study of the disease's effects continues. Dr. Merlin K Duval, assistant secretary of health, education, and welfare for health and scientific affairs, expressed shock on learning of the study. He said that he was making an immediate investigation . The experiment, called the tuskegee study, began in 1932 with about 600 black men

A tweet from hux | lizzie huxley-jones @littlehux that says "a few weeks ago a hypermobility specailist told my pal that standing up normally for us is like standing on a moving a moving bus at all times and I haven't stopped thinking about it. No wonder we're so flipping tired." and a response from the same poster "I think I mention in my essay for allies the way disabilities can be quietly noticeable if you know what to look for and I can always spot a hypermobile person by how we stand and sway and move positions a lot while standing, or sit like a dropped cluster of spiderweb."

If i found people explaining experiences similar to mine while i was growing up, my life would be incredibly different. This society only teaches abled experiences in school, and because of that so much is lost every day.

A tumblr post by silverSarcasm that reads "it's so (not) funny when abled people complain about how ~hard~ it is to accommodate disabled people considering the fact that most disabled people will not only go to great lengths to try and create accommodations for ourselves but are also much more likely to try and accommodate other disabled people. Like we are faced with so much shit and we still try and make things easier for each other and then abled people are just like ':/ disabled people just aren't worth the bare minimum of effort tbh'" and a response from onewordTest "disabled people always end up accommodating abled people. when we try to pass, that's us accommodating them. We do it constantly, everyday, we are coerced into it even if we don't want to do it consciously because we live in a world that hammers that message into us. And when they get asked to accommodate us eve a little bit, suddenly it's just too much for them."

autistic people being forced to mask is an example of accommodations abled people demand using the constant threat of violence

I was kind to myself. I listened to my body. I prioritized my needs. I did one small thing. I am a kawaii potato. The comic is signed patreon.com/theshunbun

A tweet by Carlson Tueller @carson_tueller that says "Ableism looks like calling disabled people 'inspiring' for navigating a system that is designed for their exclusion, while doing nothing to hold the system accountable. #ableism #disabled #accssToLife"

The "inspiration" I give abled people is to diminish their own problems and those of my friends. Abled people will use me surviving my struggles as a way to say other disabled people don't need accessibility. My existence does not negate anyone else's disability or need for accessibility.

A tumblr post by sudscrub that reads "I need you guys to stop forgetting that neurodivergent people can still be ableist. If someone is autistic and says that all people with NPD are monsters and evil, they are being ableist. If someone with OCD calls someone else 'psychopathic' and 'psychotic' they are being ableist. You can't hide behind your neurodivergence does not cancel our ableism."

blaming the harm of capitalism on some inherent traits you presume capitalists to have, you are doing hierarchy too

A tumblr post by "autisticbird" with a white background, featuring black text. The text says "Ableism is so tough to combat when people don't even believe it's a thing. 'Like, do you know how many times I've heard people hear the word and scoff? People get so tripped up on the word. Just at the word itself. And then they can't get past it. Once they deem the word "not a thing" or "ridiculous" then actual discrimination and oppression of disabled people goes completely ignored." Under that it says "source: autisticbird". 403 notes.

Most people don't think ableism is a thing because their ideology rests on how exactly they think people should be punished for being disabled. "Work harder, get more" is just "be disabled, get less"

A reddit post by yukibean named "I lost 75 lbs so doctors would stop blaming everything on my weight" the post continues "I am 5'6 I was 210 lbs before and am now 135. It took me a year to lose it all, but what finally pushed me to lose the weight was every single thing I went to the doctor for, it got blamed on my weight. Severe cramps? Weight. Feeling sleepy during the day? Weight. Numbness in my fingers, headaches, memory problems, balance problems? Weight. I recently went back to the doctor, who of course applauded the weight loss and wrongly assumed that all my other issues were gone. When I said no they hadn't, they immediately ordered an mri, sleep study, and larpo, which they hadn't done before the weight loss. The mri found a chiari malformation, the sleep study/physical found out I have an oversized uvula as well as narcolepsy, and the larpo found so much endo I lost both of my ovaries and a portion of my colon and lower intestines if it had been taken seriously a year ago I might not have lost them. So yeah fuck doctors(obviously not all of them). And a Tumblr post by xvnot15 responding to the post saying "this is why fat shaming can have tragic consequences. My policy for the past couple of years is to go into the doctor and state my symptoms. Then tell the doctor 'STOP' 'I want your diagnosis and treatment options for someone weighing 135 lbs' when they start to argue and immediately start with my weight, I firmly reiterate they are to diagnose me as if I were 135 pounds. Eventually most will grudgingly think about it and answer me. I'll then allow them to 'triumphantly' go on to dismiss their previous diagnosis and pin everything on my weight. Then I point out I've been the same weight for 15 years these symptoms are sudden and new. My weight. My weight is no factor in that. Give me the tests and treatment you first said. This is how they discovered a large fibroid that needed to be removed. From stories I've heard from others of I hadn't approached it this way it might have taken me years of pain and discomfort before they might have finally discovered the fibroid and treated it. Just remember; demand a diagnosis for the same symptoms for a perfect BMI for your height first. "

Doctors don't even follow the current understandings on weight. I have been denied bottom surgery due to my weight and yet scientific papers on the subject don't even show an increased risk for people at my weight. Our medical system, worldwide, is overflowing with bigotry

A Tumblr post by Scarlet-titan that reads "autistic person: (makes a joke that would offend an allistic person). Allistic person: Don't be such an asshole. You're autism is no excuse to not know that would hurt my feelings. Allistic person:(makes a joke that would offend an autistic person). Allistic person: You see, your autism makes you unable to understand my type of humor. I shouldn't have to apologize to you. Really you should apologize to me for being offended."

NT people demanding I apologize to them for not liking their jokes is one of the most common interactions I had with them growing up

A Tumblr post by burntblueberrywaffles that reads "I love being autistic and trying to communicate because every time it's." Under this is a pencil drawing of a cow looking down to hallways the left hall is labeled "keep things short (they will think your tone is passive aggressive)" the right is labeled "explain the context and your thought process (they will see a wall of text and think you're attacking them)." Both halls lead to the same black pit labeled "misunderstanding" above the hallways it says "the illusion" and below "of free choice"

An important aspect of oppression is that those in power can say that you are wrong, and punish you, regardless of how you actually operate. This often leads to autistic people being policed far more heavily for our language than a neurotypical person would be

a poster labeled "Gaslighting autistics can look like" with many colorful text bubbles saying "Telling us to grow out of our autism", "No one else is reacting like this", "Assuming two autistic people are the same", "Making fun of us if we don't understand a joke & saying we have no sense of humor", "'Stop taking everything so seriously'", "Telling us that we don't fit neurotypical expectations that are set for us", "'Stop being lazy and making excuses'", "'You are such an attention seeker'", "Blaming us if we don't understand something", "Denying us support & telling us to just 'try harder'", "'Everyone is a little bit autistic'", "Having our thoughts/feelings judged based on non verbal language. Being told we are 'emotionless'", "Telling us our stims are rude or embarrassing", "Judging our struggles based on how well we 'function'", "Invalidating one's feelings & concerns", "Telling us that our interests are stupid a waste of time or inappropriate", "Saying that it is all in your head and that you should just get over it", "'It's no big deal'", "'stop being so dramatic'", "'you don't look autistic'", "'just calm down'", "making out that avoiding eye contact is rude", "only measuring empathy in neurotypical ways", "'You can't expect everyone to change just for you'"

Nearly all of this is stuff I have had to deal with NT people saying/forcing on me every day of my life

A black plaque with a gold rim the and the New York seal that says " The stonewall inn: The events that began at the stone wall inn in 1969 marked a monumental change for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (lgbtq) Americans. Stonewall, which occupied 51-53 christopher street, was a gay bar that was raided on June 28, 1969. Patrons and a crowd outside resisted, and the confrontation continued over the next few nights in nearby Christopher Park and on adjacent streets. This uprising catalyzed the lgbtq civil rights movement, resulting in increased visibility for the community that continues to resonate in the struggle for equality. New York state historic site 2016"

A poster by Amanda McGuiness/@littlepudfins.ie the poster is called what helps me to unmask the poster is divided into panels the first panel is a brain with rainbow colors and "embracing autistic culture", the next is two people with rainbow clothes and "talking to autistic friends", the next is a pillow a mug and some books and "safe place", the next is a rainbow hoodie and "wearing sensory safe clothes", the next is an "autism ID card" and "requesting accommodations", the next is flash cards and "communication cards", the next is someone dancing and "stimming", the next is lots of music notes and "music on repeat", the next is a person sitting against a wall in a rainbow hoodie and "spending time alone", the next is some books and "special interests items", the next is a speech bubble saying "here's everything I know about books" and "info dumping", and the last is a clapper board and "rewatching shows/movies"

Safe places where people can do things like this are essential to organizing, you aren't going to have a revolution, or do anything important really, without neurodivergent people

A tumblr post with the poster cropped out that says "Don't call me high function. Let me tell you something about autism. I know an autistic person who: Can usually make eye contact for short periods of time. Can usually understand bod language. Can usually understand sarcasm. Rarely goes non-verbal. Rarely has meltdowns or shut downs. Does not stim loudly in front of other people. This person does not look autistic, they can hold conversations and pass as neurotypical. They seem to be 'high functioning'". "I also know an autistic person who: often can not go to the store alone. Often cannot tolerate being touched. Often forgets to do things like shower or eat. Often cannot change tasks/start a new task without intervention even for important things like switching from browsing tumblr to getting food. Often gets disoriented by sensory overload in stores, schools, workplaces restaurants and even just walking down the street. Often cannot maintain focus long enough to watch anything but simple cartoons or read anything but simple comics". This person will likely never function independently, complete college or have a job. They will likely always require support from family, friends or partners. They seem to be 'low functioning'" "Guess what? They're both me".

Some people need more help than others, yes, but that does not mean help needed can, or should, be described using a line. There is no singular value to describe help needed. The discussion should always be "help with what?"

A three panel comic of two birds(shaped like peeps), in the first panel they are looking at three blocks the first bird says "there's clearly a trend here" angrily. There is the word trans under the blocks. The second panel is the second bird squinting while looking up saying "now that you mention it" The third panel reveals a tower of blocks looming over them labeled 2826, with the word cis underneath them. The chart is titled "mass shootings by gender status 2018-2023"

Mass shootings are mainly done by cishet White men, and disproportionately target women. They are one of the terror units of United States fascism.

A Tumblr post by tpwrtmnky that says pseudointersectional misogyny, or that thing where you discuss gender relations exclusively in the framework of multiply marginalized men vs the most privileged woman alive." And a response from taliabHattWrites that says "'do poor men of color oppress rich white women?!' hey buddy, you not thinking of poor women of color is the problem, and also tells me you haven't actually read any of crenshaw's work on intersectionality, because the erasure of multiply-marginalized-women was what the original fucking 1989 paper was about"

One aspect of the oppression of women is that, even when it comes to feminism, people cannot help but make the discussion entirely about a man

An old time black and white picture of a black woman holding a sign that says "we live in a world where trained cops can panic & act on impulse but untrained civilians must remain calm w/a gun in their face"

This world demands perfection, and perfection cannot be given. Every interaction with the police, every interaction with the state, has a chance to end with death, and the more you interact with both the more likely you are to die.
