Because Americans are so thoroughly steeped in eugenicist thinking, they are unable to actually think about RFK.

You see people try to argue against his eugenicism by advocating that same eugenics just in different words.

In times like these, I hoped my friends would stand by me. I’m not asking for much just kindness, just support. Your silence hurts more than the hunger we face. If you care, please don’t look away. My children deserve better than this.

i think it is hard for some people to really their heads around the reality that kennedy is staunchly anti-vaccine and thinks that people should suffer through disease and that those who die deserved it and that those who survive are a better order of human being

It never stops sucking to have to cancel plans because your body is a jerk, fyi. It remains mortifying and depressing, many years in. Don’t get long covid.

@meactionuk.bsky.social @meactnet.bsky.social please boost on other platforms. We are scrambling for lawyers to get the sister out as the top priority. I am speaking with national print media this morning.

getting long covid is a surefire way to figure out which formerly benign people in your life are actually eugenicists and conspiracy theorists

Presenting #LongCovid as a disease "without biomarkers" is a way to minimize the disease entity. Making it a "mystery", some "fatigue", "unexplained symptoms". Yet, everyone who reads the scientific literature knows that a rich palette of biomarkers are associated with LC

Ugh that’s terrible advice πŸ˜– IMO it’s better to tell the doctors so you can weed out the quacks and find the ones who will help! There are a lot of shitty docs out there, but it just takes one good one to make a world of difference

I noticed a huge uptick in trolling the last few days aimed at people with disabilities.

Most of them were saying we deserve to be institutionalized.

Today Trump signs an executive order making it legal to institutionalize someone for mental health disabilities.

Feels awfully coordinated…

Someone on here told me that it is necessary, in this fascist age, to β€˜allow’ people to use the r-word if they wanted to to β€˜build alliances’ to β€˜defeat fascism’ as if the word itself isn’t a symptom of eugenics/fascism.

What’s happening is eugenics.

Cutting Medicaid. Telling you COVID is mild. Blocking climate research. Rolling back trans rights. Police militarization and brutality. All of it.

Fascism is built on eugenics. So is racism, classism, transphobia, etc.

Any resistance must center disability justice.
