btw if all you are doing as a physically disabled person is survive, you're worthy of being here as much as everyone else. even if you can't work, make art, or leave your home. even if you don't see anything beyond your bedroom and phone screen. even if you gain or lose weight, or your appearance otherwise changes because of your disability. even if you aren't awake or aware most of the time. you being here is enough to contribute to the world. i love you

Not just "fuck ICE" but also "love immigrants"
ICE is a domestic terrorist group that promotes behaviors similar to literal slave catchers and nazis that needs to be stopped yesterday.
and
Immigrants are human beings who deserve no more or less love than anyone else on the planet.
every major structural social problem right now is basically "we don't have enough skilled workers on the ground" and the reason is always "well we've been intentionally underpaying and understaffng them for decades to increase corporate profits" and somehow the news always just mentions the "shortage" without digging into the cause
air travel is a mess? shortage of air traffic controllers - for some mysterious reason
logistics a mess? shortage of truck drivers - for some mysterious reason
public transit can't meet demand? shortage of bus drivers - for some mysterious reason
We even mysteriously have shortages of doctors, nurses, teachers... FOR SOME MYSTERIOUS REASON
FUCKING PAY PEOPLE AND HIRE ENOUGH STAFF
"People don't want to work anymore" for some mysterious reason.
i'm old enough, i remember how they treated trayvon martin, this was a kid who got lynched for walking on the wrong street and they called his murderer a hero. they dragged trayvon's name through the mud, they called him every terrible thing under the sun and blamed him for his own murder. meanwhile if you even acknowledge the things that charlie kirk objectively was, the way he promoted himself, the things he proudly did, you're a disgusting monster. forgive me if i can't take that shit seriously
they spent billions on this
People still tend to lump JK Rowling in with the category of ~problematic artists~ and I need everyone to understand that is not the problem with her. She is not comparable to anyone who wrote a piece of fiction you hate, or someone who made rude comments in 2015 and has since learned better.
She is far more like Elon Musk. She is a radicalized person with an extreme amount of social and financial power, and for YEARS she has been using that power to try to influence her government into hurting vulnerable people, on purpose. And she has succeeded. THAT is the problem with her, and THAT is why spending money on her books is so dangerous, not because her books aged badly.
Critiquing her work is fine, of course (I personally was never a fan so I really don’t care) but you NEED to understand that fiction is not the main issue here. And I truly think acting like she’s the same as the rest of any giant list of ~problematic creators of the week~ waters down how dangerous she is.

Recently released court records show that the CEO who was allegedly murdered by his own driver owed the man a “substantial amount of money".
like to charge reblog to cast
So this is definitely a case of "we did not expect Harvard to fight back and we forgot they have billions of dollars and the best lawyers"
This is funny, of course, but its worth noting that this is a repeating problem in these kinds of regimes.
Nazi incompetence also ate itself alive.
Under the many, many reasons that facism always fails, there's one very crucial one: when the most important qualification is blind loyalty, other standards like competence and cooperation are neglected. There's the weirdo sentiment of Facism being this like.... efficient but unethical machine, when really, its not just horrific but stupid to the core.
It always crumbles, it always eats itself alive, but with massive destruction along the way that must be mitigated and pushed back against. I'm not telling you not to fight it, I'm telling you that the fighting will work.
#and this isn't an ad hominem 'fascists are stupid' thing #a distrust of expertise and an unwillingness to be told no is central to most forms of totalitarianism #accurate risk assessment is almost impossible in an authoritarian context #because it requires that people honestly tell the big guy that he can't do something
You might be OK with leaving this in the tags, but I'm not.

Hey, here’s a concept. What if we stopped saying “but autistic people CAN do all those things” (erasing high support needs) and instead started saying “not being able to do those things doesn’t impact someone’s value as a person nor does it make it okay to commit eugenics”.
Just an extremely Normal thing to say
Reminder they want to increase the budget for ICE from 3.5 to 45 billion dollars.
Reminder the majority of that will be for building new detention centers.
Reminder ICE are *currently* detaining tourists who can pay for a plane ticket home and people with visa issues that were already resolved, because they have to make quota so Trump can brag about the numbers going up.
Reminder most of these people were already in the immigration system - that's why they were easy to detain.
Reminder this is all at taxpayer expense.
Reminder these are people.
In fifth grade a boy tried to impress me by swallowing a whole tadpole live and I punched him so hard that he puked and the tadpole was fine.
I kept it in a terrarium and it became a normal 🐸 despite everything. About a year afterward (I thought) it died, so I sadly put it in a shoebox in the shed until the ground thawed enough for a proper funeral but when that day came I opened the box and the frog was fine.
This is funnier than anything I have ever said.
This post is to Easter what a Geiger counter is to radiation.
