Another way to look at it would be to say the most racist since Andrew Jackson. People are being locked up, tortured and killed based on their race, ethnicity and nation.And he is planning for way worse. This is way beyond Wilson.

I got multiple size envelopes, stamps and a printer. I did research to find the address for my election office. I registered and sent my annual email confirming. I got my ballot over email. I am ready to vote in the U.S. midterms! Voting won't fix everything. But it's still worth it. Let's go!

I am just asking for consideration of the line of sufficient. If a person can still get elected, but we are living under authoritarianism, especially one based in a desire to erase groups of people, then most of humanity and the planet, and the state is consolidating power?

If the midterm results don't reflect these numbers, can we acknowledge that the U.S. is no longer a democracy and pivot our approach to analyzing and resisting?

Many children live in homes without books. That's why what Dolly Parton did with the Imagination Library, sending books monthly to homes, was so powerful. Stores don't replace free access that libraries provide... especially when bookstores are being crushed by Amazon across the US.

I made it, but the bus going home is cancelled for 2 hours. I probably can't keep going and although I'm next to a Ubahn, there is no elevator, and taking my walker down the steps and back up at my stop will likely cause me an injury. #Livingwithableism

On my way to the Mad and Disabled Pride parade in Berlin, although possibly too exhausted to actually participate....ironically may be late as the bus is majorly delayed (as usual) and the U-Bahn near me isn't accessible.

This is what happens under fascism. The alternative party is still operating within the framework of fascism. The only way out of a fascist system is out. There is no democratic (or Democratic) path out of fascism. We need to change the way we are resisting.

We don't know that the other detention centers are better. We do know that there isn't accountability and they operate above the law. That is extremely dangerous.

It has been the norm for a long time. The gains disabled activists fought for helped, and those gains are being stolen. We do not just have to take it. We can organize and fight, engage in mutual aid, support each other, share resources (like the Center for Independent Living), advocate.

I have also been stuck in abusive situations and declined on my own, by the way. Until I got the abuser out, i did not realize how extensive the abuse was and also setting me up to remain dependent. Can you talk with someone about options to get free?

Debra Guckenheimer, PhD @debraguckenheimer.com · 13/09/2026

It's not always a choice depending on circumstances. But, living without abuse is the goal. Always.

Debra Guckenheimer, PhD @debraguckenheimer.com · 13/09/2026

That you are asking this question is a sign of the horrific situation that many disabled people live with. We have a right to care without abuse, and if our only option is dependence on an abusive person, that is dangerous and ableist. Disability activists worked together to create better options.

It isn't just that abuse can escalate to caregivers murdering disabled people, it's that abuse takes an enormous toll on health. Abused people do not always realize how bad it is when in it because it is the normal and internalized ableism That was true for me.

Abuse can take any of the categories of domestic violence (sexual, financial, verbal, physical, emotional). I made a chart (ch 6) showing how each category can show up in a way that reflects ableism. demeterpress.org/books/mother...

This is a false dichotomy. Abuse can lead to decline. It did for me. I have an essay on this coming out. It is specifically about disabled moms (ch 6). demeterpress.org/books/mother...

Racism and sexism are old societal cancers. Without the ability to mass-screen the workforce each year for racial and gender inequities, those malignancies are likely to swell and spread unrecognized, undiagnosed, untreated, as they did in 1963.
