People fear disability

Capitalism and ableism teaches folks that disabled people are “less than”

Doomed to be left by the wayside

“Better off dead”

As a result the general public is terrified of becoming “one of us”.

We are a minority group you can join at any time. Support disability rights!

Covid is a social justice issue.

Respirators cost money.
HEPA filters cost money.
Tests cost money.
Vaccines cost money.
Paid time off is rare.
Affordable child care is non existent

Covid disproportionately impacts those who are already the most marginalized

Mask up & protect your community

This is why disabled people have been begging you to mask up for years.

This is why we’ve said that mask bans pose a threat to our survival.

This is why we don’t want folks to say ICE agents are “wearing masks”.

Society is being conditioned to see masking as “bad”.

It will kill us.

Eugenics, ableism and especially pandemics give rise to fascism.

We've always known this.

Disabled people warned you. They pleaded with you. They begged for more solidarity.

There can be no social justice without disability justice.

The sooner people realize this, the better.

5 years since the start of the pandemic and it is frustrating that we still need to keep repeating: vaccines, masks, tests, and cleaning the air all play roles in reducing transmission.

Wrongly claiming that any of these layers isn’t important is an anti-science stance.

We should have a memorial day for COVID. It is horrific that we as a society have done virtually nothing to remember the millions who have died. Rushing to forget what happened also makes it much more likely that we will continue to repeat our deadly mistakes.

No one experiencing the tragedy of a miscarriage should be arrested, much less abandoned in jail for 5 months with a $100k bond. But that’s exactly what happened to Mallori Patrice Strait in Texas.

If you read the testimonies of the people starving to death in Gaza you'll realise that they had normal lives and jobs two years ago. They worked in IT, they were chefs or nurses, they had small businesses, they underwent IVF, they cooked big family meals. They are no different to you or me.

Trump has claimed he’s not paying attention to who buys his crypto coin—but companies are openly investing millions in it to influence the administration’s policies.

Freight Technologies Inc. bought $20M of $TRUMP, in the hopes of influencing his tariff policy.

This is Gov. Janet Mills first victory after telling Trump she would "see you in court."

Hundreds of international students have just received an email telling them their visas have been revoked.

The ‘justification’ is campus activism or social media posts.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

Breaking: Trump's full trans military ban has just dropped. Quickly reading it, it appears to be a full separation from the military for all transgender military members, and states being trans is inconsistent with "honesty, humility, uniformity, and integrity."
