With SCOTUS set to legalize conversion therapy, I think it's important for states to get around this decision by implementing new legislation applying private rights of action to practitioners of conversion therapy by their victims with large damages and long statutes of limitations.

the fact that so many people frame autism as “a problem that needs to be solved” is a constant reminder that being “not normal” isn’t acceptable to a large amount of the world. it’s the same reason there’s a trans panic right now too. they think people are defective

When everyone rushed "back to normal", disabled people begged you not to leave us by the wayside.
We pleaded with you to understand the threat had not passed.
No one listened. We were labelled 'expendable'.
When you make yourself the arbiter of another person's worth, you lose your moral compass.

Krasner: So, if what you have is a group of ICE agents, or even the military, coming into Philadelphia and committing crimes—assaults that are illegal, kidnapping, unlawful restraint, obstruction of the administration of justice—they can be prosecuted.

May this portion of the dissent by Ketanji Brown Jackson haunt John Roberts forever and be the final word on his tenure as Chief Justice.

There’s no words for the rage I feel when I think about RFK Jr’s decision to cut funding for this life saving research.
His anti-vaxx grift has already killed and disabled many people.
Measles is back. Covid is still here and still killing.
Now he’s basically siding with cancer.

Can we please get mandatory masking back on cancer wards and healthcare settings now?
We know COVID can be oncogenic.
We know it’s a much higher risk to those who are immune compromised.
Yet healthcare workers won’t mask around cancer patients & many have died.

thinking about how in 2021 a man in california was made to work in violation of covid regulations and he brought it home to his wife and she died and a judge on his lawsuit ruled companies couldn’t be held responsible for the effects of covid. that case could have changed things

At 18 Zorhan Mamdani failed to tip his top hat to me after I tipped mine to him. I shouted to his back 'pistols at dawn at the Heights then sir!' yet at dawn he was nowhere to be seen. I have held my tongue these long years but today I say enough, I demand satisfaction!

Republicans keep saying the “genuinely disabled” don’t have to worry about losing Medicaid.
All disabilities are genuine.
You also need healthcare to get a diagnosis. To get the paperwork done. To “prove it”.
They’re ensuring people get trapped in red tape loopholes so they can’t get care.

I will never understand why Danielle Smith wants to make Alberta into America Lite (North)
A heavy week.
ICE is targeting people through their medical records, as Alberta sets new COVID policy that would make RFK Jr. blush.
This one will stick with you.

The masks ICE agents wear aren’t masks. They’re face coverings designed to hide their identity.
The masks disabled people have been pleading to normalize are KN95s, N95s and other respirators. Which will help protect you from COVID & other airborne threats!

This is why we should never debate the worth of another person
We all have value just for being ourselves
It’s not tied to our job, or health status or our economic contribution
Saying that someone must prove they “matter” to get Medicaid is blatant eugenics

Restricting covid vaccines to the elderly & those with preconditions does damage in many ways.
It makes it harder for people to access a tool to keep healthy, while sending the (wrong) message that only the vulnerable need to worry about covid.
We are ALL vulnerable and we ALL deserve protection

Everything right now is steeped in politics. Being trans, being an artist, even just being a gamer right now is political because of [gestures at everything]. Right now, just fucking existing is political.
Someone told me my posts were too political and I should focus more on health.
Health IS political.
I wish it wasn’t. I wish we could agree that everyone deserves universal healthcare and a basic income. Access to food, meds and shelter.
Until that point, politics & health remain intertwined
