If you participated in any one of the mass protests across the US today… Thank you for rising up & fighting back.
Please also make sure you’re including disabled people. Wear masks, make events accessible, provide bathrooms & transportation. Plan for accessibility and inclusion.
There can be no social justice without disability justice.

If you want to fight fascism, ableism and eugenics while also protecting your health… the best thing you can do is wear a well fitted mask like an N95
They’re excellent at stopping the spread of Covid & other airborne diseases
Unsure how to choose one? Want to learn about mask blocs & fit testing?
I wrote all about respirators in the article below:

There’s something rich about Dr Oz claiming it’s an American’s “patriotic duty” to stay healthy when he’s in an administration actively trying to cut healthcare, abortion access, vaccines & public health (not to mention banning masks).
America is one of the only developed nations that doesn’t have universal healthcare. They refuse to acknowledge it as a basic human right. Surely that is also “unpatriotic”?

Dr Oz: “It is the patriotic duty of all Americans to take care of themselves. It’s important for serving in the military, but it’s also important because healthy people don’t consume healthcare resources.”
They’re all eugenicists. They only care about if you can pay taxes & serve in military.
If you “consume resources”? You’re expendable. Unwanted. Useless eater.
Eugenics and fascism always go hand in hand.

[Oz: First, we’re going to reduce chronic disease. How do you do that? 70% of the health care expenditures of this country are driven by chronic disease. And it is your patriotic duty. I’ll say it again. The patriotic duty of all Americans to take care of themselves. Because it’s important for serving the military. But it’s also important because healthy people don’t consume health care resources.]
Chronically ill people are un-patriotic.
Chronically ill people are un-American.
Chronically ill people are anti-American.
Do you see this? Do you see how this started in the MAHA EO and continues here?
Do you know why I use the phrase "useless eaters?" Because Nazi doctors described people like me as “useless eaters,” or having “lives unworthy of living” or being “burdens upon themselves and the nation’s resources.” And then they killed them.
Go read what Dr. Oz said again.
Mehmet Oz was sworn in Friday. This is from his remarks.
[OZ: Our life expectancy, despite all this investment, is continuing to slip back. We’re now more than four years shorter in our life expectancy than countries that we used to be equal to.]
It's Covid19. It's covid19, it's covid19, it's covid19.
WHO: COVID-19 eliminated a decade of progress in global level of life expectancy

It’s bad enough we have healthcare workers refusing to mask, now one openly admits to practicing medicine while he has measles!
Does the HHS Secretary condemn this behaviour? No. He praises the doctor as an “extraordinary healer”.
Measles is airborne & wildly contagious. This doctor should lose his license. He almost certainly infected multiple patients.
There are certain basic rights I believe all human beings deserve. Rights that should never be up for debate.
Healthcare
Safe and affordable housing
Universal Basic income
Clean air
Education
Freedom to love/marry who they want
We need to fight for these rights for all people, because we succeed or fail together. A society thrives on community and should be willing to protect ALL its members, not just the ones that are the same as you.
The Trump regime seeks to divide, alienate, confuse and sew hate.
We must not let them.
Love over hate. Community over fear. Let’s celebrate our differences instead of judging one another.
No one is safe until we’re all safe.

Those of us who refused to adopt the “back to normal” Covid denial narrative are used to witnessing mental gymnastics by folks who need to believe the pandemic is over.
The new US Covid website is peak denial and conspiracy theory misinformation.
It reminds me of the AIDS denialism websites of the late 90s and early 2000s. They spread the lie that HIV doesn’t cause AIDS … that the real culprit was the medications to treat HIV.
You know who’s repeated that lie over the years? RFK Jr.
Lastly, how can they reconcile believing it’s a bioweapon yet also “mild” and “no big deal”? Surely if you believe a virus was weaponized to cause harm, you should take steps to avoid getting it repeatedly?
Mental gymnastics. When a person has no substance or facts to back up their position, logic goes out the window.
The FDA is making plans to end food safety monitoring at the federal level.
This is incredibly dangerous and will cost lives. It will also disable people, as many food borne illnesses can lead to chronic health problems.
You can sign up for Canadian recalls & alerts at the link below. It won’t cover everything, but we do share a lot of the same food supply:
Don't know about you, but I would have been shocked to learn - even just six months ago - that the answer to this question was "2025": "When will the official White House Twitter feed become a straight up troll account run by a high school bully?" #elsalvador #ice #scotus #dhs #donaldtrump #uspoli
Pretty even split on this and a lot of great comments!
I hate that this could be a possibility one day...

“The ads list various popular American destinations: ‘Visit Disney World, the Grand Canyon, or — depending on the contents of your cellphone — maybe even extend your vacation indefinitely in the most terrifying penal colony El Salvador has to offer! Book now!’”
In true capitalist fashion, they went with an alternative provider who could offer the service at a lower cost.
“Migrant tents removed from Guantanamo bay, satellite images show”
#karolineleavitt as spokeslady for #POTUS reiterated that the #US will take over #Canada as the 51st State.
I hope a journalist asks her some important questions next time.
1. What will happen to the price of eggs here?
2. As a #resistor, will I be shot in the streets or shipped to El Salvador?
If the documents were worth squat, they'd have presented them in court, not in the media. The Republican party sent Americans to be tortured in a concentration camp, and their leader is doing everything in his power to continue their ongoing torture.
They. Are. Not. Deportations!!
"Democrats clash over how hard to fight Trump's kidnappings of people Republicans have decided to torture in a Salvadorean concentration camp."
