They practically cut the FEMA budget IN HALF as these climate emergencies are escalating. This is demonic ass shit, bro.

Dr. bird (She/they/Dr.)🐦‍⬛ @bbiiirdbphd.bsky.social · 15h

How could someone be so evil to exploit and work people in contamination virus and mold filled quarters often times to death to become a billionaire?

How could someone be so evil to cut $1 billion dollars from FEMA, as climate crises escalate as a result of the system they own?

Of course Pirate Wires is funded mainly by horrible fucking billionaire Peter Thiel.

But too many of you are so fucking attached to your attacks based on IQ, elitism, and sanism you refuse to be better fucking people. That’s a willful choice you make to not center liberation for all. I call it like I see it.

75% of y’all don’t even fucking mention disability in your largely hollow DEI rhetoric, claiming to want to make a “safe space,” while you don’t wear a fucking 😷 anymore, showing off your brazen disregard for your and others lives. That is eugenics. So is sanism of any kind.

Dr. bird (She/they/Dr.)🐦‍⬛ @bbiiirdbphd.bsky.social · 1d

Neo/liberals need to be fucking better. You wonder why leftists point out your fascist ass tendencies like ignoring COVID-19 and u.s. funded genocide apologia.

This shit is fucking disgusting. They should be completely ashamed.

Dr. bird (She/they/Dr.)🐦‍⬛ @bbiiirdbphd.bsky.social · 1d

It was their top story. Overt eugenics.

Imagine sharing any source that would approve a story like that, as fascism is loud and clear, knowing the gruesome history / present of incarceration and forced institutionalization.

I just saw a large neo/liberal creator sharing an article from the same outlet that approved publishing this:

Time should just catch the fuck up already so people aren’t ahead of it.

Dr. bird (She/they/Dr.)🐦‍⬛ @bbiiirdbphd.bsky.social · 2d

We have yet to fully recognize the way that u.s. society and those of us indoctrinated into it’s eugenics norms convinces us that we deserve to be pathologized for just having an alternative lifestyle. We police others for how they eat, sleep, and have sex — all the fucking time.

And, as I’ve said for years, it’s also family violence, domestic violence, and a workers rights issue. Because it’s microscopic negligence that causes mass disability and death. Point blank.

Dr. bird (She/they/Dr.)🐦‍⬛ @bbiiirdbphd.bsky.social · 2d

Ignoring COVID-19, after all the research findings about it’s full body damage, is plain and simply another form of for profit collectively normalized self-harm.

The amount of times I don’t tell femmes how adorable they are because I respect them more than I do want to compliment them in a way that could be perceived in a type of way I would never want to make them feel is off the fucking charts 🐦‍⬛📈

When will we say we’ve had enough?

How many toxins will we allow to cross our brain-body barriers before urgency becomes priority over billionaire’s for profit harms?

Will we change our ways before this globe of land masses and bodies of water sanitizes itself of us for good?
