Homelessness and disability are not a choice.

They aren’t a moral failing.

No one is guaranteed health or security.

It just takes one accident, infection or catastrophic event to change your life forever.

People need & deserve support and our system chooses to let them suffer instead.

"Certainly, compared to the situation of critical disability theorists, eugenic philosophers enjoy far more publicity, institutional support, and financial security.

Now we have a better understanding of *why* these hateful bigots have been so successful..."

While everyone is rightfully concerned about ICE’s new ‘Shock Gloves’, it’s important to know that shock devices have been used in prisons and schools for disabled children for years.

The Gloves killed an inmate in Kentucky after a guard held them to his body for well over a minute.

Disabled children are exposed to electric shocks to ‘correct’ their behaviour.

ICE should not have access to these weapons, but we must also fight to get them out of schools and jails.

We must refuse to accept atrocities.

Rodney Taylor is a disabled double amputee who spent over a year in ICE custody.

They grabbed him days before he was due to receive new prosthetic legs

The ACLU has filed a lawsuit on his behalf.

He was denied medical care, accommodations and his prosthetics.

He’s finally out of the camp, but his health will never be the same.

We must keep raising awareness about how disabled people are treated by ICE and the disabling nature of these cruel detention facilities

“If it were really that bad you would have more support”.

People believe that when you’re disabled, help magically appears.

That when you get worse, you get more help and/or funding.

The reality is far different.

There’s little to no help.

We live in legislated poverty.

When there’s a setback, no one comes to save you.

We rely on community care and mutual aid because the capitalist system views us as expendable.

Shuffling through my #music, the #WhiteStripes' "Girl, You Have No Faith in Medicine" came on. It stood out, given all the unscientific and devastatingly harmful nonsense from #RFKJr and co., particularly his #eugenics against #autistic people and recent announcement falsely tying #acetaminophen use during pregnancy to #autism, while simultaneously furthering his long record of #misogyny. Despite the song character's claims, pain often requires more than #placebos. youtu.be/0mWM0S1dMro?si=_Jx1uK…
