Remember when RFK Jr said he wanted to make lists of autistic people?

Disabled advocates warned that was just the beginning. That the violation of medical privacy would be used for nefarious purposes.

Today the regime announced it’s giving all personally identifiable information of Medicaid enrolees to ICE.

That’s right, ICE bullies will now have access to almost 80 million people’s personal info. This is an atrocious violation of privacy that will no doubt be used to target other groups as well.

It won’t stop with immigrants. It won’t stop with autistic people.

Fascists never stop and we must all fight back.

From the Disability Visibility Project:

"Immigrant Rights Are Disability Rights"

https://disabilityvisibilityproject.com/2025/07/13/immigrant-rights-are-disability-rights/

"… a true commitment to justice for disabled people must recognize that many undocumented immigrants are themselves disabled and deserving of basic rights, not total erasure from the disability rights discourse."

During the California farm raids, ICE attacked a person in wheelchair.

Proving once again that they’re no more than modern day Brownshirt bullies.

A canister of tear gas had been thrown at the disabled man and landed underneath his wheelchair, making it difficult for him to move.

Jonathan Caravello, a lecturer in philosophy from California State University Channel Islands, tried to defend the man in the wheelchair.

He was reportedly piled on by multiracial IVE agents, tackled and arrested.

His crime? Trying to protect a disabled immigrant.

We just keep sinking to new lows.

I want to say thank you to professor Caravello for doing the right thing and standing up for someone who’s was unfairly put in harms way.

He’s a hero.

Uglymug, Epicfighter – Episode 1

The only ugliness to be found is in Shigeru’s volcel actions and this premiere’s treatment of his body and physicality.

I used to jump through these hoops, but I just jump to level 5 these days because I'm legitimately so tired of this bullshit and I don't feel I need to sugar coat my words to make someone feel better when their abject disregard for their fellow humans disgusts me. These people include my family members who know that I am at risk and ignore it completely. And no, i'm not CWing it because enough with people burying their heads over it. I often wonder if the biggest symptom of covid brain damage is the loss of empathy and how our actions affect others, but sadly it's probably just the reality of selfish humanity.

If you don't mask, you need to accept that you are an ableist who doesn't give a fuck about anyone, including yourself, but you especially give the finger to any disabled person you know.

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.

My latest is about my tips for surviving heat waves and wildfires, and includes my top tips for staying cool and cleaning the air:

The next time a politician claims we can’t house the homeless, feed the starving or give medical care to the poor…. remember that they were able to build a concentration camp in 8 days.

We could provide for everyone if we wanted to, but instead we’re spending the money on fascist facilities and cutting taxes for the wealthy.

So effective and efficient to have your interpretation needs met by several different offices and go through barriers and a decision tree before getting an ASL interpreter!

Why the difference? Because each category has a different legal floor and UC wants to sink to the floor, not elevate to the ceiling.
