ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.

Having recently experienced martial law in Korea, what happened yesterday in LA, and is ongoing nationally, does not look very different.
Wikipedia says, “Martial law is the replacement of civilian government by military rule and the suspension of civilian legal processes for military powers.”

More outrageously condescending “coverage” from @theatlantic.com that paints people who want to avoid infection with a virus known to damage brains, hearts, and immune systems—as kooky “eccentrics.”

thinking about my best friend with cancer who has united health insurance and was denied a claim for meds to help with chemo because she’s “not sick enough yet”
UnitedHealth has overcharged some cancer patients for medicine by over 1,000%.
An FTC report finds that OptumRx, United Health's pharmacy benefit manager, has made billions by charging patients a huge markup for life-saving drugs.

How to protect your health from wildfire smoke:
Evacuate if active fire is too close
Wear a high quality mask with headstraps; N95s are great, P100s are most protective
Stay indoors, and close your windows and doors
Run air purifiers on high to filter smoke that seeps inside

Reminder that one of the most important times to wear a mask is right now during holiday season travel. Transits hubs are high risk as many people travel while they are sick. A high quality mask like an N95 will help protect you and help ensure you don't miss out on valuable time with loved ones.

if you’re an abolitionist who refuses to mask or only masks when you are forced to, then you’re not much of an abolitionist
disability justice + abolition are inseparable and mutually interdependent. one does not exist without the other. there is no abolition without DJ and no DJ without abolition
disability justice + abolition are inseparable and mutually interdependent. one does not exist without the other. there is no abolition without DJ and no DJ without abolition
As we continue to see sustained death + disablement due to COVID, the public health + disability justice implications of criminalizing mask-wearing are disastrous. Mask bans also violate our fundamental civil liberties.
