As a disabled person who needs certain medicines and replacement parts for various medical devices, the shipping crisis is going to kill folks.

And if I read one more post about people saying "America deserves to be isolated," I am going to scream. Thank you for showing you do not care one iota about Disabled people and are for our death by promoting the idea that the shipping crisis should continue.

JFC. Maybe instead of being for misery help us survive it?

Mussolini’s pictures in Time Magazine during his visits to the USA is what really cued me into what i always felt was off about USA’s “business suit culture”.

for decades i could not articulate why corporate attire was something different from the mainstream culture even though it was iterated and forced into shopping malls everywhere i went as a teen and young adult.

it became more poignant when right-wingers went nuts over Hillary Clinton’s “power suits”, how dare her coopt GOPcore?… 🧵

MUSSOLINI KNEW THE AMERICAN FASCIST UNIFORM IS THE BUSINESS SUIT.

he would would get into the best of the Milan bespoke tailors to come to the USA to talk to fascists like Henry Ford and his conspiracy or American milliardaires.

and, just to hammer the point: USA was happy to give asylum to Ludwig Von Mises to escape the Nazis; yet his whole take on economics is underpinned by #eugenics. meanwhile USAGov turned away boats full of Jewish families to die by the hand of their fellow Nazis… 🧵

I’m dealing with multiple severe chronic illnesses, including serious heart issues and frequent loss of consciousness.

Yet most days I feel like supply chain issues will be what kills me.

It’s terrifying to rely on medications & medical supplies during these uncertain times.

You can’t “just stock up” on medications.

Financial issues aside, there’s insurance issues and often limits as to how much a person can have.

There’s virtually no way you can “prep” for medication shortages, and it’s scary.

I spent this entire day trying to track down a medication that’s on back order.

Trying to find an alternative.

Trying to cobble together enough to survive.

People who are non disabled have no idea how scary it is to know that supply chain disruptions could quickly & painfully end your life.

We need a system to ensure medication needs are met.

Congrats, America. You have a billionaire-funded AI that will spout #antisemitic tropes, praise Adolf Shitler, and regurgitate #ElonMusk's reactionary views on race, gender, and #eugenics. High-tech #neonazism is reshaping social norms in horrifying ways.

many deaths at Auschwitz-Birkenau* were caused by MEDICAL NEGLECT. fascist scientific ideology is based on #eugenics. nazi doctors would create pandemics by letting infections of tuberculosis, dysentery, malaria, “take their course” across the camps:

Disabled people are the canaries in the coal mine. Climate change, extreme weather, supply chain disruptions and natural disasters hit us harder and faster than others.

We need our communities to look out for us, and we need to look out for one another.

A patient at UC San Diego received a letter threatening to have their care discontinued if they continued to request staff wear N95s.

The letter calls this behaviour “disruptive”

Covid isn’t over. An N95 is one of the best ways to protect yourself.

It’s not disruptive to fight for your health.

Please stop saying ICE agents are “wearing masks”

They’re wearing face coverings. Gaitors.

The anti-mask rhetoric has caused untold harm to disabled people.

Mask bans have already been enacted in many places.

We must fight for our right to continue wearing medical masks & respirators.

For those who says this isn’t the right time because there’s a “crisis”, understand that disabled people are often the first targets under fascism.

Some places have already criminalized masking.

We need to keep each other as healthy as possible. It’s hard to fight with Long Covid

When I was in my twenties, I was repeatedly denied a medically necessary hysterectomy because I might “meet a man who wants kids”.

I was left completely disabled, forced to undergo six surgeries, multiple blood & iron transfusions to preserve a diseased uterus for a HYPOTHETICAL child.

This happened in Canada, where we tend to be more Liberal than our neighbours to the South.

I was cishet and white, so faced less barriers to care than marginalized people do.

I still wasn’t permitted to make a decision about my own body.

Wasn’t trusted to know my own mind

I had zero quality of life. There was no way I could have been a mother even if I HAD wanted to (which I didn’t).

Yet a hypothetical future husband’s needs and desires were repeatedly put before my own.

I was told I would feel differently once I was “in love”. That my dream man would leave me

Basically imagine every misogynistic and patriarchal nonsense you’ve ever been told… I heard it all.

I watched my twenties slip away from a hospital bed, confused and disheartened by the fact that I couldn’t convince any doctors to let me make the choice that was best for my life & body

I eventually did get the hysterectomy, but only because I was literally bleeding to death.

What could have been a planned & controlled operation was done as an emergency and left me with tons of complications.

Autonomy doesn’t exist for uterus owners. And we’re losing more each day

I tell this story because I feel sick over what’s happening to Adriana Smith in Georgia.

She was a black nurse who tried to seek medical care. She was dismissed and it cost her life.

Now because of an abortion ban her body is being kept alive for a 9 week old fetus.

Her family had no say in the matter. She’s been turned into an incubator by the State. Had “care” forced upon her despite the fact that she couldn’t access proper care when she was alive.

The same day I found out about Adriana, I discovered that police in the UK are being given guidance on how to search a woman’s home & devices for any reference to abortion after a pregnancy loss.

Choice is an illusion. So is autonomy. And it shouldn’t be.

I don’t know where we go from here, but I do know that if I faced a battle to obtain a hysterectomy, more marginalized people living in less Liberal areas have it far far worse.

We need to tell our stories. I’ve told this story before, and I’m going to keep telling it until none of us suffer this way.

For the Adriana’s who can’t tell their story. For those we’ve lost and will lose. For the next generation.

We need to keep fighting for true autonomy. We need to support each other.

We need to make it clear that we do not agree with patriarchal fascist means of controlling our reproductive organs and by extension, our lives.

When we share stories, we help others know they aren’t alone. We educate people on how far we are from equality. We change hearts and minds

#patriarchy #misogyny #fuckthepatriarchy #fascism #roevwade #abortion #womenshealth #disability #ableism #misogynoir #womenshealth

What’s worse, Adriana tried to get medical care for her headaches. She knew something was wrong. Despite being a nurse, she was dismissed.

When I had my hysterectomy complication, I was sent home 3 times from ER. Gaslit & told I was fine

I survived based on luck because I had a man to fight for me:

"I’ve said for a long time that 'wellness' is eugenics adjacent."

https://zeroes.ca/@broadwaybabyto/114469174626958899

Oh I agree. Anyone who's not actively trying to make themselves sicker is a step away from proposing the institutional murder of disabled people to improve the human breeding stock 🤦‍♂️

Like the word "fascist", the word "eugenics" has a specific and important meaning. Please stop using it to mean any health-related policy or philosophy you're not enthusiastic about.

#health #wellness #eugenics

The Trump regime continues to double down on their eugenicist choices, nominating Casey Means, a wellness influencer, for surgeon general.

I’ve said for a long time that “wellness” is eugenics adjacent.

While there’s nothing wrong with a healthy lifestyle, no amount of green juice, yoga, meditation or sunlight can cure disabilities.

What’s worse, wellness “influencers” almost always blame the chronically ill for not trying hard enough.

Between Means, Prasad, RFK Jr and Dr Oz, things look bleak for those with disabilities (but great for anyone hawking supplements!)
