They're gearing up for mass compulsory indtitutionalization. Worth noting that this is out of the Dept. of Justice, the department to which the Office of Civil Rights overseeing special education rights violations was just relocated.

In bad news, with disability education oversight being moved to the Department of Health and Human Services from the Department of Education, that means Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will have power over disability policy positions. New from me at @motherjones.com www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

RFK Jr. will oversee disability education policy

The dismantling of the Department of Education continues apace.

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

Today in 1977 began the 504 sit-ins by disabled people. The protest was the longest occupation of a federal building and a reminder that our human rights and access protections were not gifts from the ableds, but fought for by us, and in this instance with a big assist from the Black Panther party.

Man, one of the most depressing aspects of modern scholarship is finding a great article and then looking up the scholar to see what else they’ve done and just catching a glimpse of an abbreviated career hopping between visiting positions and publishing great pieces before disappearing from academia

the most important thing to remember when you see eugenicists who don’t believe that autistic people should exist rambling about “the autism epidemic” is not that they’re wrong about the “cause” (although they are absolutely wrong about it); it’s that they are eugenicists

A reminder that every word out of RFK's mouth is eugenics, plain and simple. Blaming moms for taking Tylenol during pregnancy and portraying autism as something that must be avoided at all costs is how we end up with disabled colonies (or "farms," "camps," whatever you want to call them).

In addition to all the ableism, blaming moms for taking tylenol during pregnancy or vaccinating their children definitely feels like a recycled version of the "refrigerator mom" theory of autism. Every single day under this administration I have been reminded of why disability history matters.

I can't stop thinking about what RFK Jr said: he's never seen someone with "full blown autism" his age. And that in 1965 his father went to Willowbrook State School and said kids were “living in filth and dirt.. in rooms less comfortable & cheerful than the cages in which we put animals in a zoo.”

As COVID-19 cases continue to increase, it's important to know accurate information about COVID-19 in order to protect yourself and others! Get the facts about common myths, and take steps to protect yourself and others.

COVID-19 myths vs. facts. myth: covid-19 is over. Fact: COVID-19 continues to spread and change into new variants, and cases are currently increasing.* As of June 23, 2024

COVID-19 myths vs. facts. myth: If my last COVID-19 illness was mild, it will be mild if I get it again.. Fact: Each new COVID-19 infection increases your risk of serious illness, Long COVID, and permanent health consequences like organ damage.

COVID-19 myths vs. facts. myth: I don’t need to mask if I stay at least 6 feet from other people while I’m out. Fact: We now know that COVID-19 can spread through the air, even after other people have left the area. This is why it is important to mask and improve indoor ventilation when you can.

COVID-19 myths vs. facts. myth: I’ve already gotten multiple doses of the COVID-19 vaccine over the years. I don’t need any more. Fact: Just like it’s important to get an annual flu shot, it’s important to get updated COVID-19 vaccines each year. The flu shot and the COVID-19 vaccine are each updated annually to protect against current strains of the virus.
